“808 Nostalgia Device”
Tweaked&Twisted Music— Berlin, Germany
1. Client Situation
T&T Music, a Berlin-based electronic outfit, is sonically all over the map — Techno, Electro, House, Drum&Bass, and the occasional glitchy love poem. But visually, they were nowhere. They needed still images to seed their online presence — shots that didn’t just show their sound, but felt like it.
Their ask: “Make it look like something you'd find in a dream after a night out.”
2. Our Intervention
Glyphhaus approached the project as a branding prelude — a visual overture before the music even dropped. The stills were crafted in 3D as mood-forward iconography: genreless, but not flavorless.
Think: chrome nostalgia, synthetic emotion, retrofuture pop noir.
Vela helped shape the tone from a distance — not quite branding, not quite set design.
These weren’t products. They were objects of sonic fiction.
3. The Glyphs & Glitches - A2 Poster (Print + Web)
Image:
Monolithic T&T 808 unit with neon cassette and nightclub shimmer.
As if Dieter Rams and a rave flyer had a lucid dream together.
Cassette Detail:
Pink cassette labeled “Session / Master Mix 1994” in shaky handwritingMemory-as-medium — analog textures injected into digital matte.
4. Tools & Tech
Blender / Illustrator / Photoshop / Obsidian / GPT-4 (narrative dev)
Additional assets: one dusty mixtape, two synth presets, and a lot of SoundCloud mixes.
5. Impact
The image set drew 2K+ shares in underground music forums. One DJ used the boombox as a backdrop on a Twitch stream and never credited anyone. Maybe.
6. Who Helped
T&T – Sound concept, cassette lore, and vibes
Vela – Visual tone translation, retrofiction moodwriting
Arthur – Modeling, lighting, rendering, artifact composition
