BNNT – Multiversions

Series of CD packaging

For Instant Classic, 2019

Di Grotesk Font by Threedotstype

The music duet BNNT is considered a tribe, a herd and an art group. Now, the tribe turns out to be more complex than the duo we know. In 2019 the group changes its course, leaving the control in the hands of other musicians who use very different sound languages. They were asked to perform and/or record under the name BNNT. That gives us a chance to observe the results of this experiment both on stage and in a series of recordings. The last album is going to be released under the same name several times this year. Each subsequent re-edition of the Multiverse is another layer of the “parallel universe” – a different vision of this well-received album. Each version is different music, recorded in a different line-up, time and instrumentarium. That might cause confusion in the Discogs database.
