Pressure Fractures: CD booklet and covers
Janne:
"Few years ago I made an solo album....a sort of electronica, perhaps a bit ambient, and so on. Album called "Spiral Archives". The most difficult part in this project was the CD booklet ! Even I have worked in my youth in printing factory and done some graphic designing, I just can not use computers effectively in these tasks.
So, in August 2012 I was again in the situation, where the music is ready but the CD covers are the problem. SAMI was our treasure box ! I had done a sort of demonstrative photographing session with Anne Himberg, who captured serveral pictures from the stairway and some "hand" pictures also. I send these pictures to Sami, who used them as source of inspiration for his own work in 3d-world. Later he found the way how to incorporate these pictures into the 3d-world pictures. I did some drawings out of the ideas, and one of these drawn pictures are in the wall in the picture called "Stairway to hate". My daughter Aino draw also one dinosaur, which Sami incorporated into the same picture. Again, I was almost crying when these pictures appeared in the finalized picture.
Now really something was happening ! Several times when Sami send his demo pictures, I got shivers and tears into my eyes! It was really important moment for me when ideas and stories that I had a long time ago, has now turned into music, and now they are turning very effective pictures as well !
It was clear that Sami was the driving force now. After each new picture, we had always a little discussion what could we do better...and ofcource these demonstration pictures were so stimulative, that I just had to suggest some ideas what I started to "see" in these pictures.
I had two cement ( or beton ) "faces" in my yard, which I had done after some mason work, the last cement is always thrown away, but I realized that it is nice material to do some faces. When the cement dried, it was easy to paint. I took some pictures of the faces and send them to Sami.
Sami started to develop them in 3d-world and again.....I was having such a feelings, that I will remember them for a long time.
In September 2102 we were working with CD covers and graphics, doing the web pages..and wondering where on earth we are going to get money to print the CD ?
in 11th of September 2012, we published our first official web pages.
next phase: How to end this whole project....when the CD is published, you will know more then .
