Project Description

"This album app, perhaps more than any on this list, shows the true potential of the medium as a way of communicating both sound and story. Through incredible illustrations and 3D design, The Bermuda Tapes takes us behind the scenes to recreate the story behind Lennon’s Double Fantasy record. Filled with interesting vignettes on Lennon and Ono’s journey together and absolutely beautiful art, The Bermuda Tapes give the backstory behind Double Fantasy in a way that has to be experienced to understand."-Paste Magazine

‍

John Lennon: The Bermuda Tapes is an immersive journey into John’s trip to Bermuda in the summer of 1980 and the inspiration he found there. Exclusively on iPad and iPhone, the app features a unique interactive storytelling experience along with unreleased demos and photographs.

‍

The app was produced and designed in partnership with Design IO and eyeball.

‍

Produced by Andrew Banks.

‍

Directed by Michael Epstein and Mark Thompson.
