Morricone Groove LP Artwork & Design 2020

Robert Sammelin cooked up this artwork for the Morricone Groove LP, using digital tools, sometime in the 20th century. Look at those shapes and colour choices; it’s got this vibe of pushing and pulling, like the artist was trying to capture a certain mood, something cinematic and pulpy. I can just imagine Sammelin, headphones on, blasting Morricone, trying to catch that groove and translate it onto the cover. It's like they wanted to create this whole world in one image, full of action and suspense. See how the colours bleed into each other, creating that hazy, dreamlike atmosphere? It’s like they were trying to make you feel the music before you even hear it. It's a conversation between image and sound, Sammelin talking back to Morricone, and now, we’re all part of the conversation too.
