06.01.2009 Guido Möbius has recently finished recording his new album "Gebirge" to be released on Berlin's Karaoke Kalk label. I am currently working on the sleeve design:
19.12.2008 "Most beautiful record this time is probably the Hasenlove picture disk by Hamburg's Antonia Leukers (Dekorder). Primarily a visual artist, she was emboldened to stretch her brain into musical realms by a theoretical encounter with Die Todliche Doris. Her music is informed by that, but is a unique collage of sap-pop and bizarre inventions. Quite remarkable and a lovely piece of rabbity love by any stretch."
Thurston Moore & Byron Coley, "Bull Tongue", Arthur Magazine # 32 www.arthurmag.com
05.11.2008 Kuupuu on Aljazeera (starts at around 4:50)!!!
01.05.2008 There's a nice 10-page interview/overview on Dekorder's visual aspects in Adrian Shaughnessy's "Cover Art By: New Music Graphics" book (with my artwork for Un Caddie Renversé Dans L'Herbe on the cover). The book is published by Laurence King Publishing in the UK and it is now available in our online shop.
