Walzerzyklus is a collaborative EP from German artist Atom™ and Russian singer Lisokot, released on Raster music label. Atom™ worked with Lisokot to craft seven tracks that employ the ¾ time of a classic waltz. I was asked to create costumes for this project, which would include a reinterpretation of XVI-XVII centuries gowns’ elements.
