Snapsounds album art
Snapsounds is an audiovisual project by composer Domas Strupinskas, cinematographer Narvydas Naujalis, and sound engineer Tomas Verbaitis. Over a decade, they produced 25 music videos, each bringing a unique approach to the collaboration. This vinyl anthology marks the project’s end.
In filmmaking, black separates segments and creates a sense of pause; fades out the movie. It acts as a signal to the audience that the main feature is over and it’s time to leave the theatre. For Snapsounds, black is used symbolically to mark the end of the project. It provides a space for reflecting on what has been achieved and pays tribute to everyone who contributed. The two lines that create a notional black screen on the cover shift to the inner sleeve and act as a timeline displaying the whole sequence of the project.
The typography references archival logotypes no longer in use within the project. Angular and diagonal shapes defined them, so Tokyto A Black (by Benoît Bodhuin) served as a visual successor, a refined, contemporary version of what came before. For body text, Karrik (by Jean-Baptiste Morizot, Lucas Le Bihan) was chosen for its legibility and subtle quirkiness, pairing well with Tokyto.
This project was created in collaboration with Augustinas Paukštė. The vinyl was sponsored by Deverium. Photos by Martyna Jovaišaitė-Paukštė.
