It has just been confirmed that the album is in the distribution process. It takes approximately 4 weeks to appear online, but keep a close watch, some online services are very quick. now i'm gonna take a breeeeeaaak.
Proof! Distribution date confirmed |
Now let's see where you have to look at this year and the rest of your life.
The artwork.
The original "selfie" pictures have been chosen from some amateurish mobile phone footage, filmed in the bathroom by yours truly. No. 3 became my ultimate frontcover as I liked the welcome sign in my sort of "I invite you all" atitude and the mirrored spotlight above the "starstrucked" me.

Here's the original for the back cover with mirror reflection:
Spotlights! |
On the net you can find all kind of photo design editors.
I especially liked the paint department from Lunapic. All kind of echoes of Van Gogh and Kadinsky art that fitted well. Here are a few choices, eyes open or eyes closed:
Close my eyes... |
(Starry starry night......) Sagitario! |
The title.
I know it's a bit pretentious...to say Sagittarius, so it became
Sagitario
It's spanish- which sounds so cool- for (english), boogschutter (dutch). It happens to be my sign. I guess you'll hear a few characteristics of those on the new album. Playful sounding and with the extra bonus of the word siguitario in it. I'll explain in a later blog all bout it.
The final result (or insult).
Well, we've got that title, the art, so here's the design. I was switching between black or white for the background, both choices eventually made it.

We've got the frontcover, for the backcover I've chosen the same design but as a whole in contrast.
