01How a world is built
A Snow Tiger Records world rests on three markers: a place, a line-up and a question. The place sets the scene, from Lise Sterling’s city of glass to Kernel Zero’s forest studio. The line-up tells you who is speaking: a single voice, a duo, a band, a collective. The question, finally, connects the albums without forcing a plot on them.
These characters, places and stories are fictions created with AI to accompany the music. The journal’s notebooks read the titles and the settings; they do not claim to retell the lyrics or the lives of real people. Keep this atlas as a map: you can open it at any page.
02Worlds of night and light
Lise Sterling keeps watch above a city of glass, after midnight, among the messages that are never sent. Begin with Phantom Signals and her notebook of the city of glass. Higher up, above the clouds, Odyva gives sensations a color: Electro Colors is the palette before Rocket takes off, as the visit to the observatory explains.
Riva Glow, meanwhile, lights up a street of shops after closing time. Her cabinet of strange nights begins with Nocturnal, and the notebook When objects become characters opens its doors. Three very different nights: intimate, cosmic, marvellous.
03Worlds of the road
Burst of Life travels in an old blue van, with a map where town names have been replaced by sentences; Bumpy Road is the first stop on the map of detours. Marc Nook prefers to walk: his path overlooks a small town, and The First Path keeps landscapes and receipts in the same walking notebook.
Galilo settles on a terrace between the coast and the road. His notebook opens from both ends: Adentro for what you take with you, Sin Limites for what you meet. Three ways to take the road: as a band, on foot, or by starting with yourself.
04Worlds of the city and the collective
Hidden Crowd watches the rooftops of an imaginary metropolis, where every window hides a voice; Becoming raises the question of identity. At the edge of the city, Nolan Black’s workshop gathers posters, photographs and cracks, and Hard Times pauses in everyday places.
Finally, Gente Festiva arranges to meet on a neighborhood square at dusk. Nuestra Esperanza moves six characters between the radio, the train and shared paths. The city becomes a meeting place rather than a backdrop, and the notebook An evening on the square saves you a chair.
05Worlds of storm and silence
Two extremes complete the map. Thunder Angels stand before an old power station facing the storm: Electric Surge opens an epic of oaths, machines and stars, explored in this notebook. At the other end, Kernel Zero designs calm rooms facing a misty forest; Tranquil Escape unfolds like an open window, and the studio plan hands you the keys.
Between the two, choose your intensity: the storm for momentum, the studio for a pause. The explorer then builds a 15, 30 or 60-minute route that can cross several of these worlds.
06Moving from one world to another
Some crossings come naturally: from Lise Sterling’s night to Hidden Crowd’s rooftops with The city after midnight, from Burst of Life’s road to Thunder Angels’ guitars with Guitars and grand stories, from Galilo’s notebook to Gente Festiva’s square with From the notebook to the square.
The world notebooks continue this visit artist by artist. They describe a place, offer three ways in and follow the motifs that recur from one title to the next. Start with the one whose setting draws you most: there is no wrong first step.
