Overview

Execution

Mattis created a set of GIFs which visualised the tracks via two alternate stories that run parallel to each other online, with the ability to switch between each one.

As each GIF ends a cue in the soundtrack triggers a new GIF appearing. Users can interact with the GIF-novel, choosing which story they want to follow, by hitting the space bar between each track. At the end of the experience, users can listen to the unreleased tracks in full.

The GIF-Novel is best viewed on desktop but the creative was also mobile-enabled, with a swipe mechanic for switching between stories.
