On the Artist
During the day, Hannes Pasqualini works as a communication designer. At night he thinks, writes, draws and assembles noise into sonic sequences. His love for the unsettling, the macabre, and the absurd can be found in his comics and illustrations (which he has published in Italy and abroad, in books, anthologies, and magazines) and in his musical ramblings. What he likes most is to combine the two disciplines: as a comic artist he’s recently published Giétz!, a book about jazz in Italy during the ’50s, and he has created short comics and illustrations dedicated to bands like Peter Ubu, Bauhaus, Soap&Skin and others.

On the Artwork
A surreal parade of creatures, memories and objects entwined in an energetic flow. It’s showtime, and everybody acts in sync, their minds linked together by invisible bonds, as if they were one giant organism. The idea was more to represent the (retro) mood and the drive of the album, than to be an illustration to it’s verbal content.
