Your music.
In motion.
Spotify Canvas & Motion Design
Your music creates an atmosphere. Your visuals should bring that atmosphere to life.
We create cinematic Spotify Canvas animations and short-form motion visuals that transform static artwork into an immersive visual experience, giving your music a stronger creative identity.
More than
a moving image.
Every track has its own atmosphere, energy and emotion. We create motion visuals that reflect your sound and strengthen the connection between music and imagery.
Spotify Canvas
Short, seamless vertical animations designed for the Spotify Now Playing experience, adding visual depth and atmosphere to your releases.
Moving Cover Artwork
Transforming existing single and album artwork into atmospheric motion pieces through subtle movement, lighting, textures and cinematic effects.
Visual Storytelling
Original motion concepts inspired by the emotion and narrative of your music, combining imagery, atmosphere and creative direction.
Experimental Motion
Abstract forms, light, shadow, particles, textures and surreal visual sequences designed to complement electronic and alternative music.
Release Teasers
Short-form vertical promotional videos for social media, release announcements and music discovery campaigns.
Advertising Creative
Motion-based creative developed for music promotion campaigns, including Meta Ads and other short-form video placements.
Make the listening
experience visual.
Spotify Canvas gives your music an additional visual dimension inside the listening experience.
Rather than simply displaying static cover artwork, a carefully designed Canvas can communicate mood, identity and atmosphere through movement.
The goal is to create a cohesive experience that feels like a natural extension of your music.
- Strengthen visual artist identity
- Extend the atmosphere of your music
- Bring existing artwork to life
- Create a recognisable visual style
- Support release promotion
- Develop cohesive creative assets
Listen. Imagine.
Animate. Refine.
We begin with your music and build the visual direction around its emotion, rhythm and atmosphere.
Listen
We explore your track, visual references, existing artwork and creative goals.
Imagine
We develop a motion concept that reflects the character of your release.
Create
We build the animation using movement, lighting, visual effects and composition.
Refine
We review timing, transitions and loop quality before preparing the final files.
Every sound has
a visual language.
From understated movement to cinematic abstraction, the creative direction is shaped by the personality of your music.
Cinematic Motion
Slow camera movement, dramatic lighting, atmospheric depth and visual storytelling that creates a strong emotional mood.
Subtle Animation
Gentle movement, shifting light, drifting textures and understated visual changes that let the music take centre stage.
Abstract Visuals
Geometric forms, particles, reflections, surreal environments and experimental imagery inspired by your sound.
Living Photography
Transforming still photography into atmospheric moving scenes through parallax, light, depth and subtle motion.
Designed to loop.
Ready to upload.
Your Canvas is developed specifically for vertical viewing and designed to loop naturally during playback.
We prepare the agreed final video file for upload through Spotify for Artists, with additional social or advertising formats available where required.
- Vertical 9:16 Canvas video
- Seamless looping where appropriate
- Creative motion design
- Final colour and visual finishing
- Spotify-compatible video export
- Optional social and advertising formats
Spotify Canvas videos are typically 3–8 seconds long, use a vertical 9:16 format and are delivered as supported video files such as MP4. Canvas is a silent visual loop, with your music playing separately through Spotify. Final files are prepared against Spotify's current upload requirements.
One visual idea.
Multiple possibilities.
A strong visual concept can extend beyond Spotify Canvas.
The same creative direction can inspire Instagram Reels, short-form promotional videos, release teasers and advertising assets.
Developing a consistent visual language across platforms helps give your music a more recognisable identity.
Creative experience.
Musical understanding.
With more than 30 years of experience in Photoshop and visual design, combined with professional landscape photography, I bring a strong visual foundation to every project.
As the artist behind Timothy and the Apocalypse and The Time Meddler, I also understand how visual storytelling, atmosphere and movement can complement music from an artist's perspective.
Let's bring your
music to life.
Whether you have existing artwork ready to animate or want to develop a completely new visual direction, let's create something that moves with your music.
