peterintoronto Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Welcome news! Lars Muller's 'Windfall Light: The Visual Language of ECM' is to be published this December (ISBN: 9783037781579). From www.amazon.com: Following the success of "Sleeves of Desire", a second publication is now being devoted to the cover art of the label ECM, Edition of Contemporary Music, focusing above all on sleeve design from 1996 to the present. Since its founding in 1969, ECM has been dedicated primarily to jazz and contemporary classical music and is a leading international label in both these fields. ECM has also received acclaim for its unique cover designs, which have always been an integral part of its productions. Over the years, the collaboration between Manfred Eicher, the label’s founder and producer, and designers including Barbara Wojirsch, Dieter Rehm and Sascha Kleis has produced an aesthetic of the cover that initiates a dialogue between the photographic image and the music. The search for a cover motif from a storehouse of possible images is presented in a few examples that shed light on how these visual worlds are created and trace their significance for the music. An illustrated catalog of all of ECM’s releases completes this publication. I never had the chance to get 'Sleeves Of Desire', and was never inclined to pay $400-$800 for a copy on eBay, so this is great news!

andybleaden Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have both Sleeves of Desire which I got for not too much of ebay a few years ago and the recent hardback. Both of which were great. I am looking forward to this one as well and will stick in an order no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
