Hello Micha,
thanks for writing, it’s nice to know that someone cares about the photos!
Yes the cover is really a photo, it’s a kind of technique I have developed during the years because I’ve been always attracted by water and by paintings. I have made many series about that. Usually when I shoot I have already an image in mind connected to the feeling of the moment. This one is a sea landscape which I processed with some filters to get to the image I had in my mind. The beauty of water is that is changing endlessly and if you are patient enough you will catch the moment which fits with your feelings…
I love very much the music of Andy Sheppard and how the music flows with these musicians. I feel a connection between the cover photo and the music, I think that they share a kind of smoothness, a feeling of flowing like water does and at the same time of peace and silence. I don’t like so much to talk about the photos though, I almost never give a title to them because I like to leave some mystery and some space to the imagination of who’s watching.
