DJ Food ‘Lo Editions’ Licensing album

Jon Tye‘s Lo Editions series of online licensing albums gets another entry with a DJ Food sampler this month. This is music for TV and film use, fully licensed and ready to use if you’re signed up to Universal Music’s production music service. The tracks span from early ‘Jazz Brakes’ LPs up to ‘The Search Engine’ but all songs have any vocals removed as well as names changed from the originals.

Some are exclusive edits, instrumentals, reworkings and even unreleased in some cases. You can listen online and play spot the original but there won’t be a physical release because this stuff is mainly in the digital domain these days. Above is the cover image and below is an outtake from the design session which wasn’t chosen but that I particularly like.

Augustine Kofie – Select Exhibition Works book

.

This is the first collection of Augustine Kofie‘s work, self-published and available at his Keep Drafting site for $40 inc. Int. postage. You can see his art progress over a ten year period in just 62 full colour pages. What a body of work to behold so far too, his colour palette and sense of compositional balance is incredible as is his taste in texture and collage.

For me there is no other artist producing work of this calibre right now, I just wish I was richer and could afford some of his originals. This book is a steal at this price when you see some of the work contained within so it’ll have to do for now.
