Anne Baker performing at ArtsAdmin

Anne has been invited to perform in David' Gale's Peachy Coochy Nites, at the ArtsAdmin bar in Aldgate East, this Thursday evening at 7.30pm.

The question you are most likely asking yourself is, what's a peachy coochy nite?

“Just a projector and 20 images. Just 20 seconds per image. During those 20 seconds the Presenter talks about the image. So simple. So precise. So demanding. This is the Peachy Coochy way.“

All welcome, apologies over the short notice.

Spceco - You're Alight 7'' sleeve
With our history in record sleeve design Spceco, a new group at the forefront of the emerging nu-gaze* scene, asked us to create the artwork for their debut 7" single "You're Alright".

The cover image of transistors (such beautiful objects) evokes their sonic lo-fi soundscapes, and we carried it through to create a barcode using the colour scheme of resistors which denote their voltage drop, each future release will have it's own electrical resistance value! Further encoding has been added by the invention of spcecotime allowing every release, gig and event to have a unique identifier. To complement the white vinyl we used two different varnishes and printed the inside of the sleeve metallic gold.

The single has already sold out, but you can hear the tracks on their myspace page.

*For those of you wondering nu-gaze is a return in interest of the 90's shoegazing music, My Bloody Valentine being a prime example who are also releasing their first album in fifteen years (we did sleeves for them too!)

Amadeus Video
Amadeus Capital Partners Ltd, one of our oldest clients celebrated their 10th year anniversary last Monday, and commissioned a short video. We filmed and animated an innovative eight minute story telling their history through key incidents which was shown to the applause of the 400 plus crowd.

The event also featured Adam's specially written "Bluetooth Mobile Phone Photo Slide Show Thingy" (we're still working on a name), which allowed guests to take a party snap, send it to the software via Bluetooth, and then see it appear on plasma screens across the venue.
