CD Cover Design Brief

My music is completely improvised on the piano (or keyboard), meaning the context of the production is spontaneous. Thus I need an artist who works in a through-composed, non-conventional design method. My sound is a hybrid of Neo-Classicism, Impressionism, Jazz, Modern Jazz, and 20th Century composed music - for e.g., composers ranging from Maurice Ravel to Igor Stravinsky, John Adams to Brad Mehldau. I would prefer a more classical approach to the art design, as in using Impressionistic painting techniques, like Monet, to match some of my Ravel-inspired improvisations. Also, try to include some Surrealistic symbols, mixed with some imagery from the solar system, as in planets, or perhaps vague references to an alien planet. Please don't get hyper digital with that though. I'm looking more for a contemporary piece of art design, in that it looks like a sculpture, a painting or an installation. For example, maybe it could be a setting in an art gallery with a piano melting into a planet, with some jungle brush in the background, etc, etc. It also needs to show the musical, piano improvisation element in the design, in case I don't put my name or the album title on the front.

Target Market(s)

Sophisticated jazz, modern jazz and contemporary New-Age listeners. Elitist folks who want more eclectic, avant-garde music that is definitely outside the mainstream, but contains traditional aspects of improvised music, such as bebop and Latin jazz.

Requirements

Must have

• It must have, as I stated above in the project description, some element of Impressionism - Monet, Van Gogh, etc.. French style, since I have French sounding improvised music in the style of Ravel. I want some Surrealistic imagery, like Magritte, and maybe some exotic organic symbolism. It must have some sort of musical improvisation idea, some reference to a piano, or hands, or something that exudes esoteric musical phenomena.

Nice to have

• It would be nice to have some sort of astronomical reference to another planet, or galaxy, so some sort of sci-fi aspect, just a touch.

Should not have

• I don't want it too dark, or too happy, somewhere in between. And not too busy, keep it original, but refined. Also, I don't want it looking like it was done digitally. I want it to look more in the classical, contemporary art world, as in Expressionistic. It should look like a painting, not a hyper digital sci-fi Wallpaper background.
