Serpenti
— Live at Tetris
Poster ✓
Serpenti is an italian electro-pop duo that produce a groovy minimal synth music mixed with lovely female vocals. They are cool for dancing but also cool for easy listening. An avant garde musical duo of performers that deals with minimalism and purity in sound, distilling the essential oil out of the juicy electro plants growing in the broad pop forests. Inspired by their music, I created this poster for a live show at the Tetris club: a clean warm grey background features eight custom-made eccentric illustrations, one for each letter that compose the band’s name. Eight not very readable letterforms, but conceptually representative. These ‘letters’ represent the nature of the musical duo and the things connected somehow to their life-style universe, synthesizing in shapes some elements of pop music (the piano keys, the antenna) and some of the glamorous and trendy underground electro cultural scene (futuristic geometrical shapes, lo-fi pieces, moustaches). By observing the poster you can perceive the band’s minimalistic attitude, but also the more aggressive and obscure side of the duo.
