In 2008, EEPMON was commissioned to design the album artwork for Skintone, a collection by the late legendary Tokyo-based electronic composer Susumu Yokota. Known for his atmospheric and genre-defying soundscapes, Yokota’s music provided a rich sonic foundation for a visual translation into EEPMON’s signature digital-generative aesthetic.
The design for the Skintone collection captures the ethereal and intricate nature of Yokota’s compositions. By blending organic forms with precise digital detailing, the artwork reflects the “High-Tech, High-Touch” philosophy, bridging the gap between avant-garde electronic music and contemporary visual art. This collaboration remains a significant entry in EEPMON’s portfolio, representing a cross-cultural dialogue between Canadian digital craftsmanship and Japan’s influential electronic music scene.
