Alex Szabo-Haslam’s Waveform project is a new series of silkscreen-printed A2 posters, visualizing classic dance music from 1977-2001.
The series is based on songs by New Order, Orbital, The Prodigy, Human League, Donna Summer, Phuture, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk and others.
Here’s the official project video:
The posters are available via the project’s Kickstarter site, priced at £30 per poster.
I love Underworld
“all that electronic music looks the same”
I’m sorry, but Leftfield should be black and Aphex Twin should be yellow. And Orbital is more bright and primary, not pastel. At least, that’s what my synaesthesia tells me. YMMV.
If this something like this can be passed off as “art” or even remotely original then I would rather have a photo of my own excrement on my wall
That’s been done. In a can. And we couldn’t afford it if we pooled our savings, brother.
Why not just get the record and frame it? In most cases the single AND a frame would be less than this, and a lot of these releases have really nice sleeve art.
Peter Saville’s Blue Monday sleeve is a work of art, for sure!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. About half the wall decorations in my house are framed vinyl, it makes a great visual statement!
What passes for art these days is ludicrous.
