The making of The Rakes’ “Klang”

Work based their imagery [...] on colour theorist Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack’s 1920s experiments with various apparatus that could generate moving projections of coloured light.

You can see the strong similarity to Hirschfeld-Mack’s work. Hirschfeld-Mack’s “coloured-light-music” machine was a sort of predecessor to the Visualizer we have in iTunes today; it’s a clever inside design reference for album art.

I love the pop-art can on the left. It reminds me of the visual style of Roy Lichtenstein. On topic: Smarthistory has a nice introduction to the pop-art age.
