Absent Host
INDEPENDENT ARTIST / ELECTRONIC
Absent Host is the moniker for an independent, electronic artist who blends a mixture of instrumental dark techno with ambient soundscapes.
I created the visual identity system, cover artwork (and its corresponding visual system), and mixed and mastered all releases.
Like the music, the visual identity system is hyper-minimal. The logomark is an abstraction of an A, in the form of a disconnected triangle. These cuts within the form are a repeated motif across the letterforms in the wordmark as well. The goal was to represent the identity in a very light, atmospheric manner, as a way of functioning as the visual parallel to the spatial qualities of Absent Host’s musical style.
For each release, there is a consistent system spread across different variants. These establish a visual framework for Absent Host releases, which makes them easily identifiable and memorable. Additionally, the artwork features black and white photography to align with the neutral aesthetic of the visual identity.
