The Life Force Trio

Carlos essentially let me run with this — his only request that it have a private press feel and include a Kev Ramos polaroid on the front. I added Akzidenz Grotesk, the polaroid and a mix of rich and pure black ink.

My main visual reference was the Actuel jazz series but with a much looser type treatment. And  both Carlos and I thought it quite democratic to include all the players name on the cover as opposed to hiding them in the liner notes.

Ammon Contact

This EP sounds so raw and funky that there was no way it could be not be done by hand, especially without ready access to photos. The illustrations are all done with construction paper on a bed of stickie notes.

My only regret was that we were unable to get proper digital repro due to budgets and a crazy deadline. Currently out of print and hard to come by. Printed shots coming shortly, vinyl collection in storage.
