Jon Hopkins — Immunity

Creative Direction, Concept, Art Direction

Immunity was Jon’s 4th studio album, released in 2013 by Domino Records to critical acclaim and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize that year.

Jon has a condition known as synesthesia — whereby he sees shapes and colors when he hears music. We asked him to describe the shapes and colors he heard for each track and, working with biochemist Linden Gledhill, we created a series of psychedelic visual responses using chemical reactions, crystals and liquids imaged through a microscope.

As part of a collaboration with VICE and The Creators’ Project, videos for each piece were also created and used as live visuals for Jon’s tours.
