After three years of hard work, Immram – The Voyage of the Corvus Corrone is finally here! A collaboration between myself, Module and Paul Mclaney to restore a classic 70′s prog album – including a 12″ format, 64-page hardcover book full of gatefold illustrations.
Check out the full project over at www.voyageofthecorvuscorrone.com – there’s a full stream of the album to listen to, more images of the book, a background to the strange history of the album and more.
Finally, it’s here. The longest-gestating project I’ve ever been involved with is finally set to be released.
After nearly three years of development, Immram – The Voyage of the Corvus Corrone is due to be released on June 13th 2011 through Escape Artists Recordings. A progressive synth-rock trip of the highest order, the physical package involves a 64-page hardcover book with 70-minute album on cd – harking back to the days when a vinyl album had gatefold artwork and was stuffed full of liner notes to pore over while listening to the music. Everything you need to disappear into another world.
Check out the trailer above, I hope it gets your imagination fizzing! If indeed you are fizzing, there’s more info over at www.voyageofthecorvuscorrone.com
You step out from the wizard’s ramshackle hut. The gnarled and dusty landscape stretches out before you, daring you to traverse it’s treacherous paths. In one of these strange cities, you will find the keys to your freedom.
You are ready to begin your adventure. Now, turn to page 1.
Just a quick little sketch, trying out some brush techniques before I make a final push on the Immram project. A trippy landscape that reminds me of the old pick-a-path books.
Concept art from an up-coming project. I can’t say too much, except I’m taking the incredible long-lost sketches of an influential artist and bringing them to life…
