Hanging Man Art Work

Some time ago I was asked if I could produce some graphics for a video to go along with my very good friend Peter Ulrich’s new track which was in production called the "Hanging Man". This haunting ‘gothic’ folk single of love, murder and eternal retribution, from City Canyons Records combined the music of Peter (formerly of "Dead Can Dance") with the voice of City Canyons’ artist Sara Wendt and instrumental contributions of New York indie super group, The Jayne Canyons Band.

The finished Track proves that an ocean in this UK/US project is no longer a obstacle to producing great music, one more reason to thank the internet and broadband.

I’m pleased to say the track is now out to buy at CD baby

This special enhanced release of "Hanging Man," has my for mentioned video on it which shows a return to the darker visuals of the past. I think it complements the track well, thankfully my original graphic concepts seemed to resonate with everyone so I didn’t have to do much tweaking to what i gave city Canyon http://www.citycanyons.com/.

This was a good thing as I’m not much for tweaking, what comes to me is often all there is and then I like to move on. Hence why i don’t normally take on projects any more and could never bare to be a conventional commercial artist/photographer with all that ‘well we like it ……BUT… could you change….’ (you know the kind of thing).

If You are not aware of the music of Peter Ulrich (why not ? lol) I recommend you check out his MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/peterulrich
or his website http://www.themysterium.info/

Below is my photograph ‘Natures Scream’ just one of the graphics which features in the video ‘Hanging Man’
