Dark Waves

Cover design for Neil O’Connor’s book Dark Waves - The Synthesizer and the Dystopian Sound of Britain on the Rowman & Littlefield academic imprint.

The book is a series of essays that traces how bands like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League and others explored and created innovative electronic music as a response to the high unemployment, social deprivation and economic turmoil of the late seventies and early eighties in Britain.
