The four time Grammy award winning experimental jazz fusionist, bassist, singer, songwriter and LADdesign have ideated closely on developing visual languages that serve to articulate the variously diverse conceptual themes of each album project. For her most recent album and multidisciplinary endeavour, Songwrightsapothecarylab, LADdesign approached designing and art directing the comprehensive ecosystem for all visual components of the project as a radically unique challenge. The experimental Songwrightsapothecarylab evolved out of a series of ongoing workshops with musicians, neuroscientists, psychologists, ethnomusicologists, and other specialists driving at a functional

serves as the key point of access to each branch of the project, photography and catalogue for the jewelry, social media assets, traditional album artwork and packaging, our goal was to help Spalding share the salutary objectives of the whole project. The design system was developed to not only make the venture clear but to illuminate the intentions and artistry of every practitioner involved, while captivating and engendering usage among the audience. In many ways the Spalding/LADdesign collaborations embody the core goals of our practice. To excavate and understand the fundamental purpose of the work of our creative partners. To then translate that understanding as faithfully as possible through design. Reimagining new ways to express the potency of their work, thereby provoking more meaningful, impactful and authentic creative experiences for the public. visit songwrightsapothecarylab.com Additional Work <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81a68e911133bfebe51a21498c281e0495eadfff019b9621080b459743d4f812/Esperanza8web.jpg" data-mid="128649560" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81a68e911133bfebe51a21498c281e0495eadfff019b9621080b459743d4f812/Esperanza8web.jpg" /> Esperanza Spalding - ONE <img width="1215" height="1096" width_o="1215" height_o="1096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/274924c5e2a2561920e8fd44f429c21eb3523f2f16b98ce0d56542afee197152/Esperanza9web.jpg" data-mid="128649563" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/274924c5e2a2561920e8fd44f429c21eb3523f2f16b98ce0d56542afee197152/Esperanza9web.jpg" /> Esperanza Spalding - 12 Little Spells <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5d31191fc9595cfbe38059e84dda5ad42b10fe1c2cb79415216d7256c142e8e/Esperanza6.jpg" data-mid="128649612" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5d31191fc9595cfbe38059e84dda5ad42b10fe1c2cb79415216d7256c142e8e/Esperanza6.jpg" /> <img width="1150" height="1150" width_o="1150" height_o="1150" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fbc2a40d95e30222088dd959243455351a3417684e4699d0e1994ba9f4ad7c1b/Esperanza7.jpg" data-mid="128649608" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fbc2a40d95e30222088dd959243455351a3417684e4699d0e1994ba9f4ad7c1b/Esperanza7.jpg" /> Esperanza Spalding – Exposure https://laddesign.net/Education Wed, 08 Jan 2020 21:07:03 +0000 LAD Design https://laddesign.net/Education <img width="3024" height="2396" width_o="3024" height_o="2396" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/524d7bf02e843efff50553b39452e9096cc66b7f97960997c294b64ceb6705fc/UCLA.Catalog.Open3.jpg" data-mid="127803999" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/524d7bf02e843efff50553b39452e9096cc66b7f97960997c294b64ceb6705fc/UCLA.Catalog.Open3.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="2396" width_o="3024" height_o="2396" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e841921e0bba24ce03084c13275f4d2c151d780f49d02dfe2626a5b96022b24/UCLA.Catalog.Open2.jpg" data-mid="127803998" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e841921e0bba24ce03084c13275f4d2c151d780f49d02dfe2626a5b96022b24/UCLA.Catalog.Open2.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="2396" width_o="3024" height_o="2396" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bbf2ee621da4eb31431c066ef6bf0c0f8597822dc8bd487e59f080fc34484e10/UCLA.Catalog.Open1.jpg" data-mid="127803997" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bbf2ee621da4eb31431c066ef6bf0c0f8597822dc8bd487e59f080fc34484e10/UCLA.Catalog.Open1.jpg" /> <img width="750" height="975" width_o="750" height_o="975" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2b1cdf21628e22d8738832a4269b3e62fb8499570b7ffadd079dac13dbddc2e/ucla.gif" data-mid="127804144" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/e2b1cdf21628e22d8738832a4269b3e62fb8499570b7ffadd079dac13dbddc2e/ucla.gif" /> UCLA Extension For Winter 2021 LADdesign worked closely with UCLA Extension in reimagining and developing an institution wide identity initiative and publication that functions as a point of access to expanded educational opportunities. The new visual system served to reframe the resource and the relevancy of UCLA Extension. In the project specific publication LADdesign drew on themes of catharsis, reflecting what it means to expand the frontier of possibility and the courage inherent in discovery and innovation. Central to the message of the initiative is the unique inclusivity of UCLA, Los Angeles, and this moment of reinvention. Since 1990, UCLA Extension has featured the works of several of the world’s best-known creative minds, beginning with Paul Rand, and including Frank Gehry, Saul Bass, Deborah Sussman and Ivan Chermayoff on the covers of their catalogs. In commissioning LADdesign to rethink the publication completely, we were able to go beyond the cover and expand on the spirit of access and understanding as applied to disciplines, programs, events and fields of study across the institution. The full color publication was accompanied by 3-D lenticular postcards that animated the cover art - underscoring the idea of development, emergence, and the joy of discovery. Animated for social and online components as well, the system announced a new redefined chapter for UCLA Extension in a post pandemic era of growth. SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE&nbsp;MUSEUM“Space Sounds: Through the Distance” LAD executive produced with NASM and BYT Media a virtual concert spotlighting the creativity and community that can be found in distance and isolation, in both music and spaceflight. Featuring performances from artists including Sting, Clipping, Bethany Cosentino, Dan Deacon, Ben Gibbard, Valerie June, Lukas Nelson, John Roderick, Vagabon.

There’s a special kind of music that comes from an artist working alone, in her own space, with familiar tools. The sound seems to come from cohesion—the same person writing the song, playing the parts, mixing the track. We hear the results of their work but rarely get a glimpse at the process.Mirror Sound is a book dedicated to that music. To the special sound of self-recording. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5b6163c54dac82d49580a81dfce05944458d65b682690c6759df00a04296d2f/mirror-sound-vagabon-9020.jpg" data-mid="123836749" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5b6163c54dac82d49580a81dfce05944458d65b682690c6759df00a04296d2f/mirror-sound-vagabon-9020.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d29bc4a6ddaf457718d707b63392d08308b2b9e4c8c71d7ca288f401fc7da618/MirrorSound_13.jpg" data-mid="123837093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d29bc4a6ddaf457718d707b63392d08308b2b9e4c8c71d7ca288f401fc7da618/MirrorSound_13.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84bc4c46d34dbbcf1f7532c02a2f180e4a5f453d357036dace475169c6af315f/MirrorSound_10.jpg" data-mid="123836754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84bc4c46d34dbbcf1f7532c02a2f180e4a5f453d357036dace475169c6af315f/MirrorSound_10.jpg" /> <img width="1751" height="1214" width_o="1751" height_o="1214" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d21d26d5991ec350aef039f90c2afa4760fe60a0179c61c6ef27feebf07eb5a8/MirrorSound_24.jpg" data-mid="123837102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d21d26d5991ec350aef039f90c2afa4760fe60a0179c61c6ef27feebf07eb5a8/MirrorSound_24.jpg" /> <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fac91b268991b124dcf7845f40e029f0ec955ae36ea36d67f09fb857b609cccb/MirrorSound_27-2.jpg" data-mid="123837118" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fac91b268991b124dcf7845f40e029f0ec955ae36ea36d67f09fb857b609cccb/MirrorSound_27-2.jpg" /> <img width="1809" height="1200" width_o="1809" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec3bb638b73ca91fb14b40a0ab89d83ebb717a80d08244d98c3c043ea0298011/mirror-sound-Mac-demarco-edit--16280027.jpg" data-mid="123837099" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec3bb638b73ca91fb14b40a0ab89d83ebb717a80d08244d98c3c043ea0298011/mirror-sound-Mac-demarco-edit--16280027.jpg" /> Mirror Sound is an examination of creating in isolation, without being alone. The photography provides a rare look into the private spaces that foster invention, laboratories for challenge, realms of personal exploration, and a spectrum of musicians that thrive within them. Mirror Sound captures artists in their studios across a gamut of musical styles, gender, age, race, and geography, who work in an equally wide a range of spaces: big, fully stocked studios, laptops in tiny bedrooms, basements, the requisite garages, cultural clubhouses, and splendid rural hideaways. Across the photography and accompanying interviews on their craft, we see shared words, images, and patterns emerge on why and how we create. <img width="2707" height="2707" width_o="2707" height_o="2707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ecadda8bacdeef50383a38c111bf9e57d3b5218e73e85416b1bb09acb9894a88/IMG_4910.jpeg" data-mid="123837176" border="0" data-scale="70" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ecadda8bacdeef50383a38c111bf9e57d3b5218e73e85416b1bb09acb9894a88/IMG_4910.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="3024" width_o="3024" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a032e5bbf03c007a9cbb32ba1ab3af94ca862c6ceb3fca0123f7f83160cc54c/IMG_4918.jpeg" data-mid="123837180" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a032e5bbf03c007a9cbb32ba1ab3af94ca862c6ceb3fca0123f7f83160cc54c/IMG_4918.jpeg" /> This emergence showed us that deep down (creatively speaking), there might be more about us that is similar than different. In an examination of making Mirror Sound, we discover that through collaboration, process, and instinct, boundaries between disciplines can vanish. <img width="4070" height="2526" width_o="4070" height_o="2526" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c117ee82f78eb8d6768ec78ca5dba677ed09fd7dc57d95bab21897547b6998aa/Screen-Shot-2021-05-01-at-2.00.58-PM.png" data-mid="123837219" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c117ee82f78eb8d6768ec78ca5dba677ed09fd7dc57d95bab21897547b6998aa/Screen-Shot-2021-05-01-at-2.00.58-PM.png" /> <img width="4550" height="2828" width_o="4550" height_o="2828" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe4dbbd0ed6aeba77fa05ad8128e4cefd7351cf874a3b7df999959ff1c7112d7/LA_MS_5.12.jpg" data-mid="123837214" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe4dbbd0ed6aeba77fa05ad8128e4cefd7351cf874a3b7df999959ff1c7112d7/LA_MS_5.12.jpg" /> <img width="3988" height="2479" width_o="3988" height_o="2479" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df76bafe72498eec2a118d6d433d1ed5d740c4080f40e291e1a40db07d2b8d3a/Screen-Shot-2021-05-01-at-2.01.44-PM.png" data-mid="123837226" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df76bafe72498eec2a118d6d433d1ed5d740c4080f40e291e1a40db07d2b8d3a/Screen-Shot-2021-05-01-at-2.01.44-PM.png" /> A principal element of Mirror Sound is Daniel Topete’s photographs of the artists’ spaces. In seeing the environ- ments visually—the artists’ ecosystems—we learn that their worlds and habitats become just as important as the gear they use and their methodologies. Daniel’s photos so artfully capture more than just a mere space but a sense of the soul, vibe, and in some cases, maybe even the smell of being there. This works to underscore the fact that there truly is an umbilical cord between the creative worlds of sound and vision and its impact on the resulting art. <img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/194568e8bce94b3848cad84284a5f84e2a9bcf22d9fc3beed3c2d52f3c793df2/mirror-sound-Suzanne-Ciani-edit--4759.jpg" data-mid="123837352" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/194568e8bce94b3848cad84284a5f84e2a9bcf22d9fc3beed3c2d52f3c793df2/mirror-sound-Suzanne-Ciani-edit--4759.jpg" /> <img width="5563" height="3709" width_o="5563" height_o="3709" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b8a662f6dae7d4caff13aad8edfb74164f8e07f029459d63f927e302130177a4/MirrorSound_75-2.jpg" data-mid="123837373" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b8a662f6dae7d4caff13aad8edfb74164f8e07f029459d63f927e302130177a4/MirrorSound_75-2.jpg" /> <img width="960" height="1440" width_o="960" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab0faf1d41ff8bd13c03f7d9a64758e8cd4a0218b41bd001eb23a28dffabf160/MirrorSound_77.jpg" data-mid="123836757" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/ab0faf1d41ff8bd13c03f7d9a64758e8cd4a0218b41bd001eb23a28dffabf160/MirrorSound_77.jpg" /> <img width="1218" height="1200" width_o="1218" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c91f550b546c0a4736962dadd94272ebc21ecf00579fb090fd67a0c60b404de6/mirror-sound-vagabon-000011950003.jpg" data-mid="123837724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c91f550b546c0a4736962dadd94272ebc21ecf00579fb090fd67a0c60b404de6/mirror-sound-vagabon-000011950003.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a7c4282432f4ba210af1a23424fc256bd05f32ec1ec01663bc686adfecdb6b0/MirrorSound_81.jpg" data-mid="123837801" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a7c4282432f4ba210af1a23424fc256bd05f32ec1ec01663bc686adfecdb6b0/MirrorSound_81.jpg" /> Mirror Sound is about learning creatively from others and ourselves through curiosity. Mirror Sound is a meditation on the connection between listening to music, seeing the environment that this music is made in and having a deeper understanding of the art overall. Mirror Sound is about making an individual’s work stronger when we are connected by a shared desire to make the best art we can, whatever the medium, whatever the means. &nbsp; Statement by Spencer Tweedy &amp; Lawrence Azerrad With insight, conversations, and photographs from the studios of: Blake MillsBobb BrunoBradford CoxCautious ClayDan DeaconEleanor FriedbergerEmitt RhodesFrankie CosmosJay Som Jim O’Rourke Jonathan RadoJuan WautersJuana MolinaMac DeMarcoMatt RendonNNAMDÏOpen Mike EaglePhil Elverum R.A.P.

This message serves as a comprehensive portrait of life on Earth through our music, art, languages, natural world, and science. The concept of these Golden Records and their contents have captivated the interest of humans since their 1977 departure from Earth. Without depictions of or references to war and violence, the contents of these records serve as a representation of our ideal self — something we can aspire to as much today as the day they were launched, and into our future. In 2017 working in close collaboration with OZMA Records, we developed the packaging to release them here on Earth utilizing memorabilia, photos, and assets from the original records. And in 2018, we received the news: Grammy, Best Boxed or Special Edition Limited Package 2017. <img width="2500" height="1250" width_o="2500" height_o="1250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f53a2b6fbeb7b2d855cb84cfc0f16d7d5b4b9a11ecc886540770f364f6ece76/Voyager4.jpg" data-mid="58143222" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3f53a2b6fbeb7b2d855cb84cfc0f16d7d5b4b9a11ecc886540770f364f6ece76/Voyager4.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1b64b37c3a6da9cf879e5cdb4a3527fa4d53642e747f61d0d6e991003becff2/Voyager4.jpg" data-mid="59892546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1b64b37c3a6da9cf879e5cdb4a3527fa4d53642e747f61d0d6e991003becff2/Voyager4.jpg" /> <img width="1173" height="938" width_o="1173" height_o="938" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/73892646c572d1d5c6daa63a3019f3cbb2073f0a2b8e6782f96e1a98a299a632/Voyager10.jpg" data-mid="59892548" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/73892646c572d1d5c6daa63a3019f3cbb2073f0a2b8e6782f96e1a98a299a632/Voyager10.jpg" /> <img width="1100" height="880" width_o="1100" height_o="880" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/277ce6c0496b19a6090d8fda11c7382549077ea13693a71a49c2d0fbda086a53/Voyager11.jpg" data-mid="59892549" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/277ce6c0496b19a6090d8fda11c7382549077ea13693a71a49c2d0fbda086a53/Voyager11.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="3125" width_o="2500" height_o="3125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edd973b4dce71312c76187e4064d2a22199ec2fc5fd02bcfa6cf9f7be66e3379/Voyager2.jpg" data-mid="58143221" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edd973b4dce71312c76187e4064d2a22199ec2fc5fd02bcfa6cf9f7be66e3379/Voyager2.jpg" /> https://laddesign.net/Designing-The-Future-of-Music Fri, 31 Jan 2020 04:51:23 +0000 LAD Design https://laddesign.net/Designing-The-Future-of-Music DESIGNING THE FUTURE OF MUSIC Music is not just about listening. Designing The Future of Music is an LADdesign authored and led multi platform initiative that challenges graduate design students, designers, makers and the public to reimagine how we connect to music in a digital age. It’s a program that stands at the intersection of futures literacy, cultural and social impact and the universal power of music. Taking the form of academic workshops (at the Design Futures Lab at California College of the Arts, as well as the Global Innovation Design (GID) program at Dyson School of Design Engineering, Royal College of Art, Imperial College London) a museum exhibit (Museum of Design Atlanta) public events and books, the program draws on the contemporary practice of speculative design, demonstrating how initiative outcomes can be used to amplify the social power of music and the music experience, redress imbalances in the industry between makers, providers, and listeners, and the provocation of more meaningful and authentic creative experiences for the public, the artist and designer. Designing the Future of Music focuses on the power of this cultural connection and the transformative action of looking forward - how we might preserve and strengthen the benefits of this intersection.
