Musikgraphics – Visualizing The Rhythm Of Music

Out Of Stock

The artier side of album cover art – laid out in a book that's as visually beautiful as the images inside! As you'd guess from the title, the focus here is the idea of visualizing music – less the kind of representational album art that was used in decades past – and more the abstract, thematic images that have come into play in the 21st Century underground – particularly among more adventurous strands of music! The book shows that the outside of a record can be every bit as creative as the inside – offering up a few hundred images, from the front, back, and inside of dozens and dozens of albums – all with notes on the artists and designers as well. 284 pages, on very nice paper!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
