Echo Room Vol.1, Vol.2, Vol.3 album cover designs
'Echo Room' is a visual interpretation of the strange, idiosyncratic and ghostly narratives that inhabit local underground music. Using song titles, fragments of lyrics, and band names as conceptual drivers, the 'Echo Room' project comprises album sleeve designs, prints, and an artists’ book. The analogue techniques of photocopy, collage, relief printing and screen printing were chosen for the glitches, imperfections and strange accidents they produce. This reflects the various deliberate sonic distortions, noise and lo-fi effects in the music as well as linking to the history of hand-made zines, screen-printed posters and DIY traditions associated with underground music.
