This thesis explores the relevance of analog sound carriers, with a particular focus on the audio cassette.
The theoretical part is divided into two sections. the first examines the development and resurgence of the cassette as a medium, along with its visual language; the second focuses on experimental electronic music, its historical and technological evolution, sound structure, and visual practices associated with the genre. Special attention is given to the design requirements and approaches specific to cassette format covers.
The practical part of the thesis focuses on the design process of a cassette for the experimental electronic release Linija1 by the artist Vitaemines. Based on an interview with the artist and an analysis of the composition, a visual solution is developed that emphasizes layering, transparency, and geometric elements. The cassette is considered holistically as an object, with a strong emphasis on the visual interpretation of the soundscape.
