I was asked to come up with a CD design for Mark Barden’s portrait album “Anatomy”, released in 2021. His 'music understands sound as a fundamentally physical phenomenon. By emphasizing the violence of sound-making – with all its gripping, striking and scraping – he invites the audience not just to listen, but to feel their own bodies listening and engaging with sound and, vicariously, with the musicians’ bodies as their muscles and breath vibrate the air.'¹
