When it comes to my work for the music world, this week has ranged from one pole to the other. On Tuesday Enki<\/em> , the album whose cover I designed last year for Melechesh, was released in the US<\/a> on multiple formats including coloured vinyl and (if you want the expensive option) a CD with bundled T-shirt; on Wednesday local musicians Watch Repair released The Tidal Path<\/em>, a hand-crafted CD-R limited to 100 copies for which I designed the Risographed insert.<\/p>\n Musically you can’t compare these releases, and it would be unwise to do so, they’re both operating in very different areas. Watch Repair (who otherwise prefer to remain anonymous) have for the past two years been producing a distinct form of improvised music that combines acoustic instruments, ambient recordings and treated\/processed sounds. The predominant atmosphere on The Tidal Path<\/em> is winter, frozen water and icy wastes, hence the choice of an old map of the northern polar regions for the insert artwork. The map also features a few surreptitious references to related works by other artists but I’ll leave it to informed listeners to detect those. The Tidal Path<\/em> is a release on Manchester’s Ono label which may be ordered from Piccadilly Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } When it comes to my work for the music world, this week has ranged from one pole to the other.
