Found these simply edited photos by Anatoly Zenkov pretty appealing to my eye, reminds of some album cover that I can’t remember but that might not be the case, it could be just a good idea for an album cover that hasn’t been done before.
Anatoly Zenkov’s Persistent Pyramids

It’s great what a simple idea can do.
The last two definitely look like they could be Autechre album covers
I don’t know why but every time I look at your artwork my mind is blown. It’s so—out of body for me. Tycho is the same way. I love it.
Strange But Nice!
yeah, abstract and simple. These are my rotating desktop images as of yesterday! This guy apparently designed a program to do this- seems like photoshop could produce similar effects. Any thoughts/ideas on this iso50 folks?
Pst, Pink Floyd anyone? đŸ˜› Not that this is a bad thing. I actually really enjoyed this post. Some good simple work is always great to see.
Reminds me of what Kiln does to their covers, I dont know if I really find this all that visually pleasing tho. I feel like this sort of editing can be hit or miss, or completely subjective to the viewer.
These are some of my favorite photos I’ve seen in a while. He really goes against typical aesthetics of photographs, I can also see why a lot of people wouldn’t really like them but I find them really interesting.
I really enjoy the difference usage in each one, he stuck with an idea yet expanded on it each time.
I love the first one. I think it’s a cool idea to have the obvious and abrupt lines between the mirrored images but they blend seamlessly on the other side.
This reminds me of an experimental project I did a while back. Here are a few examples:

These were created just by cutting out segments of a photo and mirroring/rotating them to fit together.
Just realized I posted the same link twice… Here is the second one:

excellent, I expect these and others like them are going to gain a lot of traction as album artwork.
sad and awesome seeing good ideas before they’re a hit
for whatever reason the album that popped in my mind when i first looked at these was alpinisms
Reminds me a bit of the images included in the Boards of Canada ‘Geogaddi’ CD artwork.
Nice one, looks like a very simple but effective style.
Thanks for sharing
Merci pour le partage. un site a Ă©tĂ© conçu fĂ©licitations très belle đŸ˜‰
reminds me of those warp 20 covers
Wow, an amazing project. Anatoly has taken something that we are all familiar with, landscape photography – something which is inherently organic and natural – and distorted the imagery using geometric shapes, angles and straight lines, which feel quite alien and add a nice touch of tension. I can easily see these residing on an Autechre album. Great post.
Kind of reminds me of Fuck Buttons. Great stuff.
the aesthetics are similar to the last several GROWING records.
Reminds me of Kiln’s album cover for Dusker

these pictures scare me. It is what I see when I get migraine, this is what my head does to my vision then.
