Package design for Robin Eubanks 2014 ArtistShare release, 'Klassik Rock, Vol. 1'. Digipacks are not perfect squares, but a perfectly square Image makes sense for publicity puposes, i.e. presentation on Amazon, ArtistShare, iTunes and for distribution to traditional print press.
Digipack Exterior Back and Front. What makes this project different? SFJAZZ Collective member and Jazz progressive, Robin Eubanks, is the premier Jazz Trombonist of his generation. For this album he covers classic rock tunes and processes his trombone through digital filters to simulate electric guitar processing. His brother, Kevin Eubanks, the former musical director for the Tonight Show, is an internationally recognized guitarist in his own right, and also appears on the album.
Digipack Booklet/Insert Exterior, front and back.
Two icons created for the package. The left 'Bone/Axe Heraldry' was originally presented as a cover option. The right image, 'Burst' is used as both a cover element, and as a stand alone element in the booklet interior. Both icons were created to evoke both a modern sensibility and Mr. Eubanks' unique arrangements of classic rock works employing electronically modified trombone and electric guitar.
Alternative cover art design which did not go final, designed to evoke the sometimes complex time signatures that Mr. Eubanks uses in his music.
Alternative cover art design which did not go final, designed to evoke the visceral fusion of progressive funk and Avant-garde textures that Mr. Eubanks sometimes uses in his music.
