Sexto Sentido

Sexto Sentido: An Expansive Album That Transforms Literature into Sound and Object

Inspired by El Sexto Sentido, a short story by Mexican poet and novelist Amado Nervo (1870-1919), this album is a sonic reinterpretation of his exploration of extrasensory perception, fate, and visions of the future. More than just a record, Sexto Sentido is a sensory experience that transcends the physical format, merging literature, music, and design into a collectible object.

The packaging is not merely a container but an extension of the album’s narrative. A hand-assembled, numbered vellum sleeve reinforces the exclusivity of this limited edition of only 100 copies. A mirror insert introduces the album’s central concept with a typographic message:
“Your reflection is not only the present but the echoes of what you have been and the shadows of what you will become.”

The visual and sonic dialogue continues with three high-gloss postcards, directly linked to Spotify Canvas visuals, bridging the gap between the physical and digital realms. Additionally, a QR code integrated into the packaging leads listeners to www.misextosentido.net, where they can further explore the project, listen to the album, and access an interactive version of the original short story.

The design aesthetic evokes a sense of timelessness, combining subtle textures, transparency, and metallic reflections, symbolizing the intersection of the tangible and the ethereal. Every element serves as an extension of the album’s narrative, allowing the user not just to experience the music but to interact with an object infused with meaning.

Sexto Sentido is an expansive album, a work that extends beyond its format to engage with other platforms and experiences. Through its interactive website, users can read and listen simultaneously to the original short story in an interactive PDF, explore the creative process behind the album, and immerse themselves in Spotify Canvas visuals, seamlessly integrating literature, sound, and design.

This packaging redefines the physical edition in the digital era, offering a hybrid product that transforms music into a multisensory exploration. With its meticulous material selection, interactive approach, and exclusivity, Sexto Sentido sets a new benchmark in packaging for immersive sonic and narrative experiences.
