An immersive use of Calypso for a collaborative album by Swedish jazz pianist Bengt Hallberg and Norwegian classic pianist Kjell Bækkelund, released in 1968 on Sonet.

Roger Excoffon’s twisting letterforms hover in the space above a black-and-white photograph of a wall with scratch markings. The artists’ names are positioned directly above the image, in a line of all-caps Microgramma.

Cover design by Sid. The photo was taken by Jan Olow, Westerberg.
