Basic Info

Dotknąć muzyki (Touching Music) is a unique book that transfers the language of architecture and its materials into book form. The book is special because the designers used ‘Curious Matter Red’ innovative paper, which is coated with tiny upcycled potato waste for a unique tactile finish. The book is illustrated with photos taken between 2012–2014. The first ones are in black and white, but as the work progresses they are gradually followed by colour photos. The final chapter reveals the shape of the building during the opening concert. The red pages (Curious Matter Red) include a wide range of different content, such as pictures, sketches and architectural drawings. In order to unify these materials, the designers decided to print them in black and white to make the colour of the paper stand out even more.  The paper for the content and the cover was carefully selected to reflect the varying texture of the materials used in the construction of the building. The embossment of the front cover – which mirrors the colouring of the main concert hall exterior walls – allows the reader to touch the music like never before.
