‘Jiggery Pokery’
Your Hand in Mine – Explosion in the Sky
“This song is purely instrumental and therefore more visually abstract. As with other tracks by Explosions in the Sky, it is the kind of song that makes us want to let our minds wander and get creative – perfect music for the studio but also great to wind down with whilst reflecting on your day.
“Other than the association with our most important tool – the hands, the title of this particular song also gives us that festival feeling. Hearing Explosions in the Sky at a festival would be an amazing experience within the unity of a crowd. Collaboration is something that fuels our practice so we have an affinity with anything that conveys this message.”
‘Inventory Studio’
TV Party – Black Flag
“Inspired by the tracks 1st line (Radio, Live Transmission), the iconic band and their proressive sound and attitude, we have created a pixel pattern inspired by television static (what we see when there is no transmission) that has a QR code embedded somewhere within it.
“This graphic pattern supplies the opportunity for Beck’s Vier to transmit something music/art related but only to those that know about, and have found this new technology.”
