The Colour of the Inner Content
CDs are on the way out (or already long gone for me) as a form factor for music delivery, but one of the innocent bystanders in this shift to digital is album art. Sure you can still get album art and packaging as a digital image, but it's not the same, obviously. There's just something about the smell of the aromatic dyes of a nice glossy album cover that is very familiar and rewarding when you open up your new disc. Sigh.
The design of the cover also reflects [the musical] motif. Like when you are listening to this piece of music for the first time being still untouched by the unique experience of Ivan Palacky´s peculiar performance, also the album cover makes you feel like that. After opening (tearing off the seal), the outer minimalistic graphic of the snow-white package is irretrievably disturbed by a stain, which turns to the colour of the inner content.
- Uceroz is a new music brand by Ivan Palacký, a musician playing an amplified knitting machine called Dopleta 160 (180).
- The title "Uceroz" is an abbreviation created from two Czech words : „učesán a rozcuchán“. It consists of two editions, where „učesán“ represents a smoother kind of musical expressiveness however „rozcuchán“ tends to be more experimental.
- Depending on the technique of opening, (some extreme technics of opening have already been noticed, like using a drill in order to create a peculiar mark.) some patterns arise, which give each piece a certain uniqueness.
