Emmanuel Witzthum - The Book Of Dusts (2019)

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Emmanuel Witzthum to the record label. Inspired by old notebooks, antiquarian editions, calligraphic writing, and piles of books dressed in spiderwebs of dust, 'The Book of Dusts' spreads outwards slowly, like splinters of ice on a windowpane, recalling the icy fingers of winter....

We have gone all out on this 2 x CD project which includes deluxe GF Smith 540gsm 4-panel Bagdad Brown letter-press/blind debossed covers with a Gravure emboss finish. The design also includes antique (circa: 1890 -1925) numbered glass slides, 5 x A6 poetry prints written by Emmanuel Witzthum, vintage hand written notes/letters, old ephemera photos. All rests inside hand stitched fabric pouches along with a 40 minute bonus CD from e+i (Emmanuel Witzthum & Craig Tattersall). Truly beautiful!

The books come to life. The pages are open, spread out like open palms. Invitations to another world, beckoning. And with the artist’s poetry, the limited edition prints of which are found in the packaging, the music comes full circle, returning once again to the words, their gushing syllables and sweet songs.
