The Babekühl Calendar Project: June

Six months down, six to go, with the Winter Solstice just over the horizon.

This month’s offering emerged from a prolonged sparring session with an old adversary (Photoshop). Somewhere in the struggle, a small cosmic event materialised…

All Eyez on Jonti. His record sounds amazing. A preview of what’s to come 🌙🗡️.
Facts: Anyone who saw Jonti live at Sydney Opera House in 2024 would have caught an early iteration of this Hyperdelic visual.

The Babekühl Calendar Project: May

This month in the studio, unreleased and somewhat secret magnum opus has been on repeat.

Over the past three years, we’ve been working closely with Jonti to realise the visual world for the forthcoming concept album - spanning visualisers, music videos, a live show, and whatever other ideas emerge along the way.

Dowloadable files in the biodome.

We’re looking forward to sharing more soon. In the meantime, here are a series of visual experiments that have grown out of that world.

Raiding our design archive and revisiting some early favourites: this identity system and branding was developed for our friends at Sonar Music at their founding and has remained one of our favourite projects.

What began as a typographic experiment - drawing from MIDI grids, patch bays, and modular synthesis interfaces, evolved into a mono-pixel type system, complete with a full (and largely unseen) letter set.

It also marked one of our first forays into 3D, where the system’s rigid geometry naturally extended into extrusion, depth, and light.

The Babekuhl Calendar Project: April

This month, we’re sharing the fruits of a commercial project that, through a series of happy mistakes and experiments, led us to a new image-making technique.

The final image evolved from an approach we’ve been developing around ASCII-generated video; extended here into fully customised, miniature compositions. Flick through to see some of the process that brought us here.

To bring it together, we returned to a trusted colouring method - extracting a palette from a reference image. With a heavy heart, we’ve drawn from a photograph by our old friend and studio-mate. You’ll be missed, Jimmy.

BANGKOK NIGHTS. THE TIFFANY DIAMOND. A 20M PROJECTION CANVAS.
- VISUAL EXPERIENCE FOR TIFFANY & CO.

We had a blast collaborating on the visual world for TIFFANY & CO.’S LEGENDARY LEGACY exhibition event series in Thailand.

Grateful to the amazing event production and creative team at Rizer and Rizer Singapore for bringing us onboard for this Tiffany & Co. project. 

Also the venue might have the best helipad view in all of Bangkok.

Our role
 • Visual experience design 
 • Event visuals operation / VJ

Protip:
Instead of prerendering entire composites, we exported many elements/ layers as DXV alpha videos and composited directly in Resolume rather than in AE. Playback is so solid and gave us a far more fluid workflow for adapting visuals live during the show and adapt to the show calling with ease.
