Windfall Light-轻识

Following the success of “Sleeves of Desire”, a second publication is now being devoted to the cover art of the label ECM, Edition of Contemporary Music, focusing above all on sleeve design from 1996 to the present. Since its founding in 1969, ECM has been dedicated primarily to jazz and contemporary classical music and is a leading international label in both these fields. ECM has also received acclaim for its unique cover designs, which have always been an integral part of its productions. Over the years, the collaboration between Manfred Eicher, the label’s founder and producer, and designers including Barbara Wojirsch, Dieter Rehm and Sascha Kleis has produced an aesthetic of the cover that initiates a dialogue between the photographic image and the music. The search for a cover motif from a storehouse of possible images is presented in a few examples that shed light on how these visual worlds are created and trace their significance for the music. An illustrated catalog of all of ECM’s releases completes this publication.

With contributions by Geoff Andrew, Ketil Bjørnstad, Katharina Epprecht, Lars Müller and Thomas Steinfeld

Design: Integral Lars Müller

拉斯·缪勒（Lars Müller），1955年生于挪威奥斯陆。从1982年起在瑞士巴登成立视觉交流工作室，从1985年起在多所设计学院教授建筑、设计、艺术、摄影和社会的课程，是国际平面设计联盟（AGI）的成员。

作为设计师和独立出版人，拉斯·缪勒的作品几乎完全遵循内心。他初识曼弗雷德·艾歇尔便一见如故，两人对彼此的美学理念赞赏不已，当场决定联手为ECM的唱封设计出书。他们先后合作出版了《欲望的封套》（Sleeves of Desire，1996）、《风•落•之•光——ECM唱片的视觉语言》（Windfall Light: The Visual Language of ECM，2010）。
