Let’s figure out through Jim’s work how he sees the world today and what’s on at the highlights of his unique visual language.

    An empowering fusion of music and design. - Interview with B. Visible and Daniel Triendl

    The new second album “In Between Places” by Viennese producer B.Visible in collaboration with a designer Daniel Triendl not only makes us feel up high, but also challenges our thoughts, gives us a sense of hope and calls to action. Ticklish and melancholic sounds gently harmonize with a cover artwork by Daniel, who seems skillfully translating his credible bold design throughout music and merge with it. We spoke to the guys about creative process and their mutual approach, confidence, doubts and bond of design and music. Here you can check out the blending sharp electronics of the album and buy vinyl.
