ECM Album Covers & Manfred Eicher from Danae Paparis on Vimeo.
|
Founded by producer Manfred Eicher in 1969, ECM has to date issued more than 1200 albums spanning many idioms. After establishing an early reputation with standard-setting jazz recordings by Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, Jan Garbarek, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and others, ECM began to include contemporary composition – including Steve Reich’s landmark “Music for 18 Musicians” – in its programme in the late 1970s; Eicher’s own background, as a musician active in both jazz and classical music, provided an unusually broad vantage point from which to survey, and influence, the genres.
The final product of a research project based on the life and album art of Manfred Eicher, the father of ECM Records. Exploring the mood and tone of his company and the music he produces reflected the mood and tone of the short film. Created in Adobe AfterEffects.
