#2: Ω XCV - REMAIN NAMELESS (2002)

In second place is the cover of a watershed album, my 95th - the first to be recorded entirely and directly with Digital Performer and onto CD with no intervening hissy tape, analog or DAT (but this is trivia not relating to the art!). This is actually a joint work between me and Alec Pettifer, who I was visiting in London where he was living. I had three completed tracks we listened to repeatedly for inspiration, and ultimately used two photos of me he took and altered them as you see here. The window is actually a window in a door in his apartment. Notice the eyes on my shirt! The eyes feature heavily on the back of the CD and also on the CD sticker itself. If memory serves, this CD is also the first to have original artwork for the back cover. Oh! - and I believe it is also the first to actually feature my face! - though not the first to lack the distinctive "Ω" symbol.
