I am excited to announce my new release, 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮, featuring remixes by @room40.bsky.social, @timothyfairless.bsky.social, @millihertz.bsky.social, @geneeves.bsky.social, Jonathan Snipes, @ianwellman.bsky.social, and myself, out on Room40. 📌 PRE-ORDER → yannnovak.bandcamp.com/album/discon...
The album cover for 'Continuity' by Yann Novak, made to look 3D with shadows on a light grey background. The cover is a light grey photo background of a busy Tokyo intersection in Shinjuku. Over top is 49 lines of black text that are as wide as they are tall, its encrypted text so its gibberish all the way until the end where there are is an = and then a few spaces and the word Discontinuity.
