Inhaltsangabe

Denise Burt tells the stories of how a selected 24 of her CD designs were made. The stories are told chronologically - spanning a decade - and tell of her development as a graphic designer: she started out as a music novice and had to learn to enquire and engage with the ideas behind the often complex music, in order to create more meaningful designs. Through her assignments, we meet a diverse range of composers and artistic universes. Each short story is illustrated with the artwork created for the project.

Aus dem Klappentext

"I've been repeatedly told over the years that the CD is dead... I don't worry any more about them becoming obsolete. What interests me is not the format itself but the challenge of finding a way to represent and communicate conceptual music to new audiences. It's the ultimate design task to try to make someone understand something about a piece of music before they have heard it." - Denise Burt Composers and artists represented in Seeing New Music include: Per Nørgård (DK), Paul Hillier (UK), Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen (DK), Jexper Holmen (DK), Anders Koppel (DK), Julia Wolfe (USA), Vagn Holmboe (DK), David Lang (USA), Michael Gordon (USA), Helene Gjerris (DK), Ejnar Kanding (DK), Frank Bretschneider (DE), Bent Sørensen (DK), Morten Olsen (DK), Rune Glerup (DK) and Peter V.
