Kyteman Orchestra packaging

The Kyteman Orchestra is the second album from Dutch
musical sensation Colin Benders. We were asked to work
on a visual concept and found a partner in painter
Maarten Demmink, who we subsequently introduced to
graphic designer Bas Koopmans. While listening to the
new tracks at Colin’s Kytopia studios, we were
immediately seized by the idea to reinvent Pieter
Bruegel’s Tower of Babylon for the album visuals. It was
the perfect representation for a story that marks the end
of one era and the beginning of another, a story filled
with as much hope as despair. The limited edition
version of the album is the physical embodiment of the
visual concept. Inside the box the cover image is divided
into three layers – two transparent layers and the
background. The idea is that you have dig into
Kyteman’s world in order to reach the final stage, the CD
itself. So you’re already part of his world before you’ve
even listened to the album.
