Introducing two connected graphic identities for Stereo Image and Pierre Rousseau, designed by Faye And Gina.
These identities for 2024 are detailed in a « Graphics Standard Manual », of which the slides below are an extract. Their purpose is to visually translate the distinction between a personal practice and a commissions office, whilst affirming their natural interdependence.
Phase 1 : These two identities expand on the typographic design and grid system established as early as 2018, and used on the website pierrerousseau.info, designed by Faye And Gina and developed by Tristan Bagot. The acronym APATO stands for ‘Applied Processes And Techniques Office’.
Phase 2 : The initial grid system evolves through alternative scaling, echoing a desire to abstract from systematic thinking and restrictive timing within the music itself.
Phase 3 : The grid system becomes fluid and three-dimensional, emphasising an expanding interest in sound as an interactive, explorable object.
Phase 4 : Research expands to traditional visualisations of “volume” and “resonance”.
Phase 5 : This investigation leads to further interpretations of time and space, as well as abstract representations of “vortex”.
Phase 6 : The exploration of spherical geometry is influenced by Buckminster Fuller’s dome structures, and their impact on the aesthetics of early computing.
Phase 7 : The definitive ‘Pierre Rousseau’ pictogram is a “vortex” applied to the original grid system from 2018, symbolising a evolution of both perception and purpose.
Phase 8 : The Stereo Image pictogram refers to an eye and speaker, illustrating the office’s expertise in augmenting visual experiences through sound. Both pictograms share the same gravitational pull, emphasising the interdependence of the practice and the office.
Phase 9 : The final Stereo Image logotype is inspired by the design tropes of the service industry and “one-stop shops”.

'Dismantling Nakagin Capsule Tower', a CD insert for Capsule Issue 2, introduced at Spazio Maiocchi on April 8 2023 at the occasion of Salone Del Mobile.
"I first visited Nakagin Capsule Tower in the summer of 2018 during an intense heatwave which had engulfed Japan. The tower had already been set for dismantling for years, and following my visit, I had been asked to sign a petition protesting the decision to take it down. I was deeply moved by the experience, both enthused by my encounter with a personal aesthetic fantasy, made up of blue floors and tape machines, but also saddened by the impending demise of a utopian modular masterpiece.
I am honored that Alessio Ascari has asked me to contribute this piece for Capsule. I don’t know whether he knew how much this building meant to me when he reached out, but the magazine seemed like the perfect medium to pay hommage to the Tower, in its interpolation of ‘Design and Desire’.
I wanted to share a few thoughts on conceptualizing ‘Dismantling Nakagin Capsule Tower’, as a sort of addendum to the music itself. As I set out creating the piece, I initially imagined it could evoke its formal, structural components. Hence, the composition faithfully follows the structure of the building, as it interprets the architectural blueprints much like a score.
Every chord change within the piece represents the next floor of the building. Within these chords, or floors, radical shifts in the audio treatment occur regularly and precisely, each evoking a new capsule. The shifts occur 140 times, for the number of capsules which made up the building. Each chord lasts for the exact amount of capsules on each floor. The sudden shifts represent the idea that, although the capsules were materially identical, lived experience within them would had been extremely different from one resident to another. The piece lasts 13 minutes, echoing the building’s thirteen floors.
Although this provided for an inspiring starting point, I was quickly confronted with the limitations of this literal interpretation. The piece was satisfying, but too strict, and lacking an acknowledgement of the Tower’s degradation. I processed the sound again and again, through both analog and digital equipment, until, in its chaos, it eventually sounded like the building I had visited. A sort of synesthetic memory.
I was beginning to ‘feel’ the Tower within the piece, but still, it seemed like it could become even more present. This is when I started involving my friends.
I first wrote Zak text: Zak), a Tokyo-based sound engineer, who recorded thirty minutes at the site where the Tower once stood. The recordings of this void can be heard most clearly at the beginning and end of the piece, but are playing throughout. When I integrated these audio files to my arrangement, I realized that the piece would not be about the Tower itself, but about its eventual dismantling and absence.
I then wrote writer Théo Casciani, whose first novel, ‘Rétine’, beautifully
described the disorienting experience of living in Japan. I simply evoked the following idea : ‘dismantling Nakagin Capsule Tower’. Within 24 hours, he had written the text which can be heard throughout the piece, as read by Annabel Fernandes. Through his weaving of fact and fiction, Théo had re-built the Tower where it will now live on : the realm of myth."

Composed a short piece of music alongside Nicolas Godin for PRSNT, a compilation by Modern Obscure Music.
‘PRSNT’ is a unique global artistic project combining the input of artists across the worlds of music, video and written word which acts as a statement on how we, as consumers, engage with music in the 21st century. The LP contains original compositions by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pascal Comelade, Laurie Spiegel, Lyra Pramuk, Chassol, Nicolas Godin and Pierre Rousseau, Pedro Vian and Pierre Bastien, Visible Cloaks, Kelman Duran, Raul Refree, Lucrecia Dalt, and Lafawndah; as well as including writings by contemporary thinkers like Shumon Bazar and François J. Bonnet, and images from Araki, Jack Davison, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Dani Pujalte, Elizaveta Parodina, Adrià Cañameras, Larissa Zaidan, Zhong Lin and Javier Tles, among others.
The concept was devised by Created By Us and the Barcelona-based label Modern Obscure Music, following a study which identified that the overwhelming volume of instantly accessible information online is shortening attention spans and altering how audiences engage with music digitally. Their curiosity about the state of online consumption developed further on discovering that around a third of all listeners using digital platforms skip to the next track within the first 30 seconds of playing.
Each musician was given the challenge to create engaging compositions with real artistic merit, inside the confines of this shortened span. Akin to Brian Eno’s famous Windows 95 start-up music, the time constraints are crucial, and the compositions are deceptively complex and more substantial than expectations of their nano nature would suggest.
‘PRSNT’ acts as a critique of flighty feed culture, but is simultaneously constructive, providing something which is either proposed solution or “if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em” resignation. Every artist has interpreted the brief differently, resulting in an intriguing blueprint for the potential future of digital music. Could abbreviated micro compositions satisfy, inspire and nourish like their longer counterparts? They certainly take up much less of listeners’ busy lives, which are often spent tackling ever-increasing workloads.
All tracks Mastered by Rashad Becker at Clunk Studios in Berlin, Germany. Vinyl cut by Josh Bonati in Brooklyn, NYC, USA. Music selected and curated by Pedro Vian. Artwork & Design by Marc Monguilod.
