bitbird is a Dutch electronic music label co-founded by Thorwald Van Den Acker and San Holo in 2014. But it's not just any label - it's my favorite! Ever since I was 15, when I first discovered the music of San Holo and DROELOE.
What started out as a simple internship in the summer of 2021 turned out to be a great and strong collaboration, which continues to this day. With bitbird I was able to experiment and create with almost total carte blanche on what were my first large-scale projects.
Here's a selection:
create forever: apparel collection (2021)
“create forever” is an apparel collection released in 2021 for which I created the various 3D teasers and promotional visuals.
I also produced two stop-motion videos, a technique I'm particularly fond of.
bitbird radio (2021-2023)
In 2021, I'm taking over bitbird radio's new artistic direction: a monthly show dedicated to an artist offering 1 hour of electronic music mix.
Fully customizable from one artist to the next, the 3D visuals represent futuristic synthesizer modules. The central unit is equipped with an LED screen that displays real-time audio-reactive 3D visuals.

Gouldian Finch 4 (2021)
Gouldian Finch 4 is bitbird's flagship compilation album, bringing together the very best in independent electronic music. It's a true sonic runway.
I had the opportunity to create its main artwork, as well as a host of supporting visuals. Historically, covers for Gouldian Finch albums are composed in the same way: a close-up photo of a necklace. But here, for the first time, it's entirely in 3D.

Vinyls and Physicals (2021 - 2025)
A music label sells records. Here they are, in glorious 3D:
Amsterdam Dance Event: bitbird (2022)
Amsterdam Dance Event: a week dedicated to club and electronic music. Every year bitbird throws its own party at the Melkweg. I created the visuals, teasers and promotional content for the 2022 edition, again all in 3D.
create forever.
