Forms by Dead Janitor
"The definition of ‘form’ is the shape of a person, animal or a thing. It can be also the essential nature of a thing, distinguished from its matter. The concept for the album was to find some small elements of natural sounds such as a wood knock, a paper cut or the spin of a bike wheel, and to build something synthetic out of them, to find new approaches for both the emotional and artificial characteristics of abstract compositions. The names of the songs are variations on the FORM, as the form bends in itself." – Dead Janitor
"Mark Fridvalszki is a Berlin based visual artist. His interest can be described as archeo-futurological, since his collages, paintings, and prints consist of cultural sediments of our lost collective futurities. Merging various sources from pop- and counterculture, futuristic design, psychedelia, jazz and acid house, his works seek to create a temporal spiral between the late modern era filled with utopian energies and our futureless present."
"In addition to the deconstructed and entropic music of Dead Janitor, the cosmic iconography of the Czech-Slovak neo-avantgarde, the otherworldly sci-fi illustrations from the 60s–70s, and the long-vanished utopistic fantasies of the space-age were also inspirations for me while designing the cover." – Mark Fridvalszki
