HOWARD WAKEFIELD / 30 YEARS OF NEW ORDER / CLASH COVER / JULY 2011

La copertina del numero di Luglio 2011 di Clash magazine che celebra i 30 anni di New Order. Disegnata da Howard Wakefield. Fenomenale!

Designer Howard Wakefield' s cover for Clash magazine that celebrate 30 years of New Order. Total Substance!

Howard Wakefield says:

"When I think about imagery and New Order, I instantly think of all the sleeves," says Wakefield of his approach to the commission, "but rather than showing a montage of them, which have been much seen, admired and recognised, I wondered how recognisable are they?" I was curious to find out," he continues, "if I reduced them in some way, could they still be recognisable? I tried blurring and distorting them, but they rapidly became something else, however by simplifying them to their basic colour elements, they appeared to remain true to their iconic designs."

TRIBUTE TO RENE MAGRITTE / BOX OF TOYS AUDIO / FLIPEVIL

Meraviglioso tributo all'arte surrealista di Rene Magritte musicato da Box of Toys Audio di Londra e diretto dal sudcoreano flipEvil. Bravi! Abbiamo gia' parlato di Box of Toys Audio qui e di Magritte qui.

Wonderful tribute to the surreal artist Rene Magritte with sound from Box of Toys Audio (London) and directed by flipEvil (South Korea). Bravo! We just talked about Box of Toys Audio here and about Magritte here.

Some precious words from Box of Toys Audio
We joined forces with our friend flipEvil to create this composition in tribute to the Belgian surrealist artist, Rene Magritte.
Given the context we wanted to take a very traditional and unadorned route, and so composed a bespoke piano piece in and around the motion. The piano leads the way in terms of pace and characterization, backed by subtle sound design that reinforces the dream-like state of the visuals.
