"VERVE" (2019) | "Verve Epilogue (2019) - Debut album artwork and album campaign photographed for Sebastian Plano, an internationally acclaimed Argentinian composer, producer and musician, currently based in Berlin.
“The spirit and enthusiasm animating composition or performance. Vivacity. Energy. A force from within.”
***VERVE - NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY FOR BEST NEW AGE ALBUM 2019***
Having worked with Sebastian previously on creating album artwork for him (Arrhythmical Parts Of Hearts), there was no hesitation when Seb had asked me to create album artwork for VERVE.
It’s an extraordinary feeling when someone believes in your vision and trusts you in creating something that embodies their music wholeheartedly and seeing it bloom into something more. It truly has been an honor and a privilege to have worked through this journey with the incredibly talented Sebastian Plano. This full length album embodies everything “Verve” stands for and so much more. Being given the opportunity to create images that I will never forget and memories of traveling a foreign land that will forever be carried with me, is deeply cherished.
There are no proper words to describe the amount of gratitude I have for moments like these. The amount of hard work, dedication, and trust gone into this album, the process of putting it all together, the distribution of love in all aspects.
Thank you Alex Buhr for believing in Sebastian and taking him under your wing! Everyone over at Mercury KX and Decca for the wonderful opportunity. And last but not least, Recording Academy and United Talent for seeing the beauty and grace in VERVE.
Huge congratulations again Sebastian and everyone who played a part in making and taking Verve to where it is today.
