Αναλυτική Παρουσίαση

Denise Burt was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1972 and educated at Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland (1990-1993). She lived in London from 1994 to 2000 and worked as a freelance designer and illustrator for several advertising and design agencies. Since 2000 she has lived and worked in Copenhagen. She has worked as an independent graphic designer for a number of customers in both Denmark and abroad. She works with a variety of media and formats, but the most important part of her production has been the design of music publishing. Between 2004 and 2014 she produced designs for over 280 CDs for record companies as Dacapo Records and Cantaloupe Music (Bang on a Can’s New York-based record label).

Review

In a cultural climate where there is considerable, daily navel-gazing, bewailing even, of how to make Classical – music let alone the frightening contemporary stuff! – relevant and appealing to today’s audiences, this is a book the relevance of which utterly belies the modesty of its scale. Burt’s journey shows familiarity breeds not contempt but informed enjoyment, which she recycles to spread the message further afield in the best way she can, through her art. Seeing New Music is beautifully produced and I have found it a delight to read – and to return to. –Gramophone

From the Inside Flap

“I’ve been repeatedly told over the years that the CD is dead… I don’t worry any more about them becoming obsolete. What interests me is not the format itself but the challenge of finding a way to represent and communicate conceptual music to new audiences. It’s the ultimate design task to try to make someone understand something about a piece of music before they have heard it.” – Denise Burt Composers and artists represented in Seeing New Music include: Per Nørgård (DK), Paul Hillier (UK), Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen (DK), Jexper Holmen (DK), Anders Koppel (DK), Julia Wolfe (USA), Vagn Holmboe (DK), David Lang (USA), Michael Gordon (USA), Helene Gjerris (DK), Ejnar Kanding (DK), Frank Bretschneider (DE), Bent Sørensen (DK), Morten Olsen (DK), Rune Glerup (DK) and Peter V. Swendsen (USA).
