Artwork: Einoma Electronica Album

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

The good folks at Lamadameaveclechien (IMALC), an indie record label in Brussels, Belgium used one of my sketches for the album art for Einoma, an atmospheric electronica group from Iceland. You could check out a few clips from Tvenna EP on the IMALC site here.

It's very exciting and fulfilling to have my artwork gain a new life with other artists and to discover something new along the way. In this case, it's opened up my mind to new, inspiring music.

Excerpt from the IMALC site:
After three years of silence and six years since the highly acclaimed "Milli Tonverka" LP, Reykjavik´s Einoma return with a highly beat-driven and epic two track EP for Lamadameaveclechien. Composing for the first time pieces based on live sets and improvisations, the EP shows a more organic nature of Einoma´s sound. Its complex sound flow still remains very rhythmic and almost dance floor like in it´s unfolding sound quality. Big emphasis on bass, icy textures, detailed sound design and an almost repetitive narrative is the main focus point of these two very original and dramatic pieces. The EP comes with a stunning artwork and a big poster from Sherrie Thai from Shaire productions who´s 'graphic alchemy' seems to fit the music perfectly on a fundamental level.

Music Innovation: The Genie

Musicians like The Genie is what makes art such a source of inspiration. On his Myspace bio, it states that his performances involve "live looping, slide guitar, and beatboxing." The Genie proves that art in itself is about evolution, growth, and pushing the envelope.
