Covers
Since September 2008 I enjoy making what is known as "artwork" for live-recordings I do not have any images with. That's mostly a front image for a CD-case and sometimes a back as well. I am aware that that is old-fashioned. In a few years time probably no-one will burn CD's anymore. I do not burn any CD's anymore myself, and I do not print fronts and backs. I keep them in the folder on my hard-drive along with the music files.
The live-recordings that belong to the covers on this page are not especially made at the most interesting concerts. These are simply the recordings that lacked artwork until now. This means it'll often be the less beautiful and/or less well-known concerts. For the big names and the good concerts many people have of course already created much more beautiful covers than these.
The music is not available, so don't bother yourself (and me) asking for it. But on this page you may download the covers.
