I designed this record cover in 2005 for an electronic industrial/ambient/noize compilation. I reworked the photography of Kendall Anderson into a gritty design for this deluxe package.
Every year, since 2002, Geska Records has released a thematic compilation to explore new horizons found between Arts and Science, and some of those fragile links between Human versus Nature. This year, they started playing with the idea of having 12 electronic musicians from Canada translating their visions of the country while using the 4 seasons as a background. The response was so great that in 2 weeks they had a complete line-up ready to examine the influences of the landscape on them and the multiple cultures in which they live. Inspired by the environmental photography of Kendall Anderson, Geska gathered 12 artists from Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec city: Iszoloscope, Urusai, Squale, Displacer, S:Cage, L’Ombre, Prospero, LCEDP, Scott Fro, Liar’s Rosebush, PerfectionPlastic, Famine. Each song on this unique compilation addresses the power of certain landscape features to evoke memories, emotions, and anthropomorphic physicality. Some of the works suggest the potential for experience, while others even encourage physical interaction. This compilation comes in beautiful deluxe packaging.
