Slacker album update…..Slacker album update……We are now looking for artwork. A pic for the front cover. See my email below to creative friends, and if you have any ideas, let me know. I spent a day on flickr and found some ones that were promising, but nothing so far screams out USE ME! Cheers ears! Shem
Simon: This is a good friend of mine who I mixed and edited for just before leaving Bangkok for LA. I love this album and expect it to do very well for years to come. So here is an opportunity to help with the cover, over to you mr. Shem…
Creative friends,
I want an image. You might be able to help.
My album is called “Start A New Life”.
Another idea for the album tiltle was, “Home”.
Below are the track titles.
It’s kinda trip hop/mid tempo stuff, think DJ Shadow meets Moby meets Groove Armada.
It’s kinda organic, funky, sample-based, journey-like, atmospheric, thoughtful, warm. And not too serious.
We are looking for a photo to put on the front cover.
We want something that kind of sums up me and my new life, here in Thailand.
Got any pics?! Any pics you saw on the net which might apply? Any thoughts?
Ideas so far are something nightlife bangkok style: a shot of the big city, from above or street level, lights, maybe people or cars blurred, could be a bit messy or chaotic. Or a market – maybe a night market, mad, rushy, trippy. A time lapse picture.
But all other ideas welcome. I have a picture of a passport page full of thai immigration stamps. I have a pile of papers I got from customs when I shipped a case into the country – was thinking of laying them all out and taking a pic of them.
Cheers!
Shem
