Sounds Like: Art Quality Sound (Tm). A sound system developed by my producer and friend Roberto Laghi together with Zebra Art Records. It sounds like wood in springtime. When the sun starts to feel warm and you could smell the soil. My friend Gunnar Dagnå, Art Director at Soya, has transformed this sound in to the art design of the record covers at Zebra Art Records. His work gav us the Certificate of Excellent Design European Design Annual 1999 for the design of the record Valdemar - Härifrån. My friends and photografers Kristin Lidell, Mikael Ringlander and Ulf Celander has genrosly contributet with their pictures in the different projects.
