Duo Vertige / Kurzwelle

Graphic design for the first CD “Kurzwelle” featuring six young composers from NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) and Japan, produced by the project Duovertige headed by Mirjam Schröder and Rie Watanabe. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project continued and was realized over the course of several years.

“Kurzwelle” is part of an initiative aimed at introducing young composers, and both physical and digital versions of the CD are available for free. It provides music enthusiasts with a valuable opportunity to discover the new works of emerging composers.
