The design of our editions follows an aesthetic idea with which we combine the multimedia presentation of the music with in-depth background information in the accompanying books in the most beautiful and appealing way. Thanks to our collaboration with artists such as Thomas Struth, Isa Genzken, Thomas Demand and Wolfgang Tillmans – each edition becomes an individual collector’s item. More than 20 editions are already available. There are many projects in the making and we look forward to everything that is yet to come!”
