LXs ALBUM

An interactive digital edition of my album, translating the physical storybook of LX:I into a three-dimensional listening experience. Sound, image and the material form of a book belong to one continuous encounter.

Turning a page changes the music

The book gives listening a sequence and a gesture. Turning a page changes the track; the ending of each track carries the book forward. Viewers can move around the digital object while synchronized lyrics and shifting backgrounds follow the music.

The physical edition remains present

LX:I brings together the 2020–2024 album period. Photographs of the physical edition preserve its printed and material presence, while a foldout greeting card adds another layer to the book. These details connect the digital encounter with the object from which it began.
