Following the success of Sleeves of Desire (1996),
a second publication about the ECM label is now
devoted to its sleeve designs from 1996 to the
present. Since its founding in 1969, ECM (Edition
of Contemporary Music), has been dedicated
primarily to jazz and contemporary classical
music and is a leading international label in both
these fields. What distinguishes ECM are its
design aesthetics, which have always been an
integral part of its music productions. Manfred
Eicher’s collaboration with Barbara and Burkhart
Wojirsch, and Dieter Rehm up to 1996, and since
then with Sascha Kleis and alternating photographers
and artists has produced an aesthetics
of the cover that initiates a dialogue between
the mostly photographic image and the music.
This book takes the reader on an associative journey
through this visual world. In their texts, the
authors examine various aspects of this visual
language in greater detail. An illustrated catalog
of all of ECM’s releases since its founding completes
this publication.
