02 / The visual signature

Ernst
Gamper.

More than a sleeve. A visual world that stays with you.

The Zurich-based graphic designer and artist is part of YELLO’s visual history. The band names his sleeves for “You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess” and “Stella” when announcing his return for TIME LAB.

The official “Break Out” video credits him as Video Producer & Director — Ernst Gamper.

03 / Beneath the surface

One sound.
Many stories.

How a sonic idea becomes a new chapter.

About the single

A brass idea, not a rigid formula.

Boris Blank describes a brass hook as the starting point. Other elements emerged as he worked, rather than following a fixed verse–chorus plan. The single was released on 28 August 2026.

About the album

The past becomes material.

The album announcement brings new samples together with material from the archive. “Around The Sun” draws on a previously unused Meier recording from the “Claro Que Si” era.

Make a shape of it.

Start with a shape, change its direction and set a colour against it. Make it your own in the image atelier — as a still image or a short loop to take away.

GOOD TO KNOW

From experiment
to your own picture.

What is BREAK / FIELD?＋

BREAK / FIELD is an independent fan project by Lars Anlauf: explore YELLO’s “Break Out” and create your own geometric art.

What can I make in the atelier?＋

Six labs for form, field, layer, colour, orbit and type. Move shapes, choose colours and save your image as PNG or SVG. Save a JSON project to keep editing later.

How do I share my picture?＋

Open “Share artwork” and choose PNG, GIF or video. On supported devices, share the finished file directly with an app. Otherwise, save the file or copy the PNG and paste it into a post. “Share website” shares only the website link.

Are my images uploaded?＋

No. Drafts and exports are created locally in your browser. A file is only passed to another service when you share it. An atelier link does not contain your image.

BUILT FROM CURIOSITY

Music deserves attention.

Not just background listening. Look closer, explore, make something. This space is a personal experiment between music and design.
