Ordnance Survey

Relative Phase

This was the first of my commissions from electronic musician and composer Neil O’Connor. The initial idea behind the Ordnance Survey project according to Neil was to “map” a number of sound worlds including electro-acoustic, jazz and ambient. I was asked to design artwork for the debut album, Relative Phase, a poster for the launch gig and make a promo video for the second single, “Goya”.

For the album artwork, I created some design elements reminiscent of topographical maps and digitally collaged them with sections of landscape photography in order to visually convey the idea of disparate musical landscapes meshing with one another. A variation of this idea was used for the poster.
