black metal A

quick history lesson (We love them don’t we?). The phenomenon that is Black Metal took off in its earliest form in the early to mid 1980's and reached its peak during its second wave in the early 90's across Scandinavia, more specifically Norway. Inspired by all things dark, a small group of musicians set about stirring up a revolution musically, and inadvertently, set the wheels in motion for something that would to this day remain one of Norway’s biggest musical exports. OK, so whilst that is an extremely short overview of the Black metal scene, no doubt thwart with stereotypes and inaccuracies, this series of posts isn’t intended to re-hash the same information that has no doubt been written about a thousand times over and there is no intention of trying to explain the history of Black Metal either because let’s face it; unless you were there, it’s mostly conjecture. This series of articles however are intended to highlight some of the more recent visual artists that have been inspired by Black Metal and to take a look at how their work has grown under its wing.

lorenzo mariani Italian born artist Lorenzo Mariani has built an impressive body of work over the years. Heavily inspired by the world of underground music, Mariani has produced some of the most iconic work around which has been used by some of the Black Metal heavyweights as a visual representation of the sound that is within. With an incredibly good eye for detail and strong understanding of atmosphere, Mariani has managed to capture Black Metals raw, primitive image and bring a sense of beauty to it through sensitive pencil work and an understanding of the unbridled aggression associated with the genre. We caught up with Lorenzo recently to ask him a few questions about his connections with Black metal, his creative process and his new creative direction.

For those who aren't aware of you or your art could you give us a brief introduction? I'm a 27 years old visual artist and graphic designer based in Milan. Since I was a child I've always been interested in drawing people and learning art and culture in general. The music has always been my preferred source of inspiration and that's why I like to work with musicians for independent projects and commercial works.

Who are the artists that you were most inspired by when you started to produce the portraits for your portrait archive? Actually there isn't any specific artist or movement. For portraiture in general I admire the work of artists from the Italian Renaissance as well as early Flemish painters, they've always been very important in helping me improve my style. Looking to the contemporary artists I would say that German painter Gerhard Richter could probably be the closest artist to my portrait archive.

The majority of your early work was inspired heavily by Black Metal, How did you get involved in working within the scene and what drew you to it? The first time I became aware of Black Metal was at high school when I was around 15. I used to listen to classic rock and heavy metal but one day I found an extreme metal magazine with Marduk's singer Legion on the front cover. At first I was curious and attracted at the same time and wanted to discover where this Kissalike band came from and soon after I began to learn what Black Metal was about. Could you tell us a little bit about your first commissioned piece, who it was for and how it came about? The first one was the cover art for an Italian Black Metal band called Throne of Decadence. They were very young like me at that time (17 years old) but we created a very good piece of work and the result was an album that struck the underground metal scene. They got in touch with me a few months after the first version of my website was online, they told me that they finally saw someone different to the usual "metal cover artist". For me, the piece of work that really stands out from all your other Black Metal works is the 'Sardonic Wrath' album cover for Darkthrone. Can you tell us a little bit about the design process for that piece?

Everything started in the summer of 2003 when I got in touch with Darkthrone's main man Nocturno Culto. I sent him the sketch for the Sardonic Wrath album and he immediately fell in love with the idea. The concept came from a Gustave Dorè illustration. With this piece, I wanted to express my passion for “classic” art in an era of so-called digital art just as Darkthrone did by striking out against the modern metal sound in favour of a rawer, more aggressive one. We were very happy to see how unique and different the cover art was compared to their previous artworks. Your most recent work associated with Black Metal is the art for the new Craft album 'Void'. With the album art for 'Sardonic Wrath' being created in 2004, has there been any change in your design process over time? No, not so much. As always, I spoke with the band about the idea for the cover art and then I made some sketches for the final drawing. Also my tools are always the same, pencil and paper. I can feel the difference between the old works and the recent however. I do however think there's a relentless change even if you don't "program" it. Do you still keep up to date with the Black Metal scene and if so, how do you think it has changed over the years? Yes I still continue to follow the Black Metal scene and I'm very disappointed with most of the releases and with the metal industry in general. Nowadays there are too many bands, too much

money and also too many people involved in the music business. The Underground has also lost the “underground spirit” and it just isn't the same as before. I think that there will always be something new and interesting to say in this genre but at the moment I think that I could count the amount of good releases on one hand. Black Metal as we knew in the '90s is definitely dead. The music existed because of the social issues that were around at that time and I think there are no reasons to continue that sound today. All the historical Norwegian bands changed radically and I agree with their choices. Bands should develop new styles, new genres and learn from the masters without copying them. Are there any other artists that you have worked with, or recommend, who have worked within the Black Metal scene? Sure. I would recommend my friends Halvor Bodin and Timo Ketola. The first one is a striking graphic designer from Oslo and he's very well known for his works for the Moonfog label (Satyricon, Thorns and many more) The second one is a guy from Finland who is very active in the underground, For example, he created all the beautiful Deathspell Omega cover art. I think they're the best examples of today’s avant-garde and old-school music illustrators.

Stepping away from Black Metal, let's talk about your more recent creations. I found your portrait drawing of Jimmy Edgar extremely interesting. How did you come across Jimmy Edgar and his music? I came across Edgar's work through Warp Records after I made contact with the record label and the portrait came after several listens to his albums. His portrait is one of my preferred pieces among the electro-musicians and he's definitely one of the most interesting electronic musicians around today. You haven't updated your portrait archive since 2008, Is it something that you are still working on or is your concentration fully on your graphic design work? Actually I don't produce as much work as before because of my day job and commitments. I'm now focussing on unreleased works which are very different from my previous work. There are some previews on my website and I will put all the work online soon.

If I had to choose something I would say that I'm satisfied with most of my cd/lp artworks as I see a different approach and a "musical-specific" project for each album. I'm definitely not a copy-and-paste artist as I try to understand and find a unique solution for each musician. Finally, if you had to choose one piece of work that you have created over the years that you think best describes your creative process, which one would it be and why? I would say any of the black and white pencil portraits. This kind of drawing synthesizes my interest in people and my preferred tool. In my opinion, the simpler the work, the more clear and complete it is.

Lorenzo is currently in the process of creating an impressive series of works entitled ‘Tsunami’. Head over to his website to check it out as well as his design and portrait portfolio.

Which piece of your design work are you most proud of and why? I don't really have one in particular; I don't think I have made my favourite one yet!

Sometimes you’ll find an artist with an exceptional talent in creating beautiful work that both excites and fascinates your mind. Kim Høltermand is a freelance architectural and landscape photographer from Denmark that creates vivid and emotional images that evoke feelings of wonder and intrigue. What’s more amazing is the fact Kim’s career in photography only began very recently in 2008 and that he holds a full time position as a fingerprint expert for the Crime Scene Unit of the Danish National Police. A fine eye for architecture and the urban environment is immediately evident in Kim’s body of work. He manages to draw your focus to features, that at first glance, appear mundane and ordinary. Bold geometric shapes and patterns stand out visibly from bleak and subdued image palettes. In fact you would be forgiven in thinking that Høltermand inhabited a bizarre, monotone new-age world akin to David Thorpe’s interpretation of Ruskin’s Nature of Gothic.

The only evidence for the presence of colours comes in Kim’s study of the Copenhagen Concert Hall. Here we see earthly yet bold tones that contrast to his image series such as Urban Angles, yet complement the natural world as found in Deserted City and Reflections. With the approach of the Olympics in London in 2012, redevelopment of what was once a heavily industrialised area has reached it’s peak. Venues, hotels, sports halls and shopping centres are sprouting in and around London at an alarming rate. In observing the beauty of Høltermand’s work I found a new take on this so called ‘progress’ of the urban environment. Recently I found myself riding miles out of my way to study buildings and structures. Navigating across the city, not via signposts, but by new architectural way-points.

ARTIST STATEMENT I've always been interested in technology, especially the design of things and the way they're put together. It goes deeper than that, when I view humanity as a whole I have to ask 'what is it about us that wants to make all this?' That question affords me the ability to examine not only the 'why' but also the final product. From our humble beginnings we've demonstrated an amazing ability for progress, we've wanted 'better' and 'more', technology is only a part of it, but for me and the society we live in today it's the part accessible and relatable for everyone. As we hurtle towards an unknown and uncertain future, technology and the way we use it will become increasingly more important. It has already become so integrated into our lives that I doubt many of us could live without it. As we build more and invent more, are we helping our humanity or are we robbing ourselves of it? * text taken from yannifloros.com

AJ HATELEY h hs

After ventures into illustrating the twin and traditionally exclusive worlds of videogame culture and literature, emerging illustrator A.J. Hateley introduces another project which infracts binaries - This time between the polar opposites of grotesque and classical. Drawing on the literature of French novelist Jean Genet, Hateley offers a series of illustrations which represent a critical appraisal of the texts, revealing latent and sometimes subversive meanings. In Lemonade 02, AJ Hateley will give us an in depth interview and retrospective about her new direction and tell us about why she is moving away from designing computer game covers to focus purely on her own work.

Right, easy start, for those who aren't familiar with you or your work, can you tell us a little about yourself ? My name is Asa and I am originally from Sweden, but have lived in London for 6 years now. My plan was to go to London and study for a year and then go back home but I fell in love with the town and the people, even the shitty rain, and decided to stay. I am from a small town in the north of Sweden called Ornskšldsvik, I then lived in Stockholm for about 12 years before I moved to London. I work as an illustrator/designer producing hand drawn illustrations, vectors and collages. Right now I am working on a cd booklet, which is a songbook and a cd cover, and my own wallpaper collection and I love it.

Growing up where I did gave me a very strong connection to nature. My grandparents, Mum and school all dragged us out skiing, fishing, c a m p i n g, c l i m b i n g c ave s a n d mountains, paddling and canoeing etc. One of my best summers as a kid was one when I had to feed a baby lamb every day that had been abandoned by its Mum. I miss nature a lot, that is my only issue with London. But I think that's why I use nature a lot in my work, I constantly miss it in my life even though I am a city girl. So, how would you describe yourself as an illustrator? I think it's hard to label me; I do shop window displays, wallpapers, t-shirts, art prints, children's books and illustrations for products, Im willing to try anything.

That sounds really interesting, maybe you can give us a heads up when its released and we can talk about it more. Is there a particular medium that you prefer to work with? I could never see myself only working with one medium or on one kind of project. I love to develop, grow and be challenged and I like photography and paint just as much as I like ruff hand drawn illustrations, so I do both.

I love creating and never really understood people who say that you should only do one thing because people will get confused, I don't find it especially interesting or creative to draw cats for a career so I don't really care what people say. If I get an opportunity to paint or draw on a building I would jump at it, for me creating is in the focus and I find it fascinating how environment and colours effects us, I would love to do a GP waiting room for children and work more with communities and council estates to give people pride in where they live and try to create more fun play spaces for children. It has been proven that if hospitals do their homework when it comes to their lighting and use of colours it will actually help patients become healthier, faster compared to trying to recover in a stressful environment without these considerations. These are things that designers and artists could do a lot to improve things in our society, not just do work for ourselves. You mentioned that you miss nature and it is big source of inspiration, the main focus in my illustration work is nature, in particular, trees. What do you feel when you use nature as your inspiration?

I am not sure, it might just be my way of missing nature, so it sneaks up in my work and is still a part of me even though I am sitting in a grey rainy brick London ha-ha Yep, London has its charms.... When I made my 'Tiger with Braces' it was first of all because I absolutely adore tigers and also was a bit fed up with how we humans always like to give animals human characteristics. It's almost as if we can't accept them for what they are and instead we have to make them do circus tricks or dress them up which I find tragic. Can you tell us a little about the wallpaper that you are designing and the creative process behind it? It is covered with elks! I like making patterns and just thought that damn, this one would be very nice on walls so let's turn it into a wallpaper, so not a very exciting story behind it ha-ha, just very straight forward. I hope to get my first roll next month and I am very excited about it. What I like about the design is that from a distance it looks like a classical medallion wallpaper, but when you come closer you notice that it's made out of ugly hand drawn elks - I love the contrast of contemporary meets old classic.

Which commissions do you find the most interesting? The ones that are fun, or those that are most beneficial to you? I graduated a year ago so I am still very new and fresh doing this, so far I have learned and developed so much through all the work I have done so they have all been really good. I think my favourite project this year so far

though was a group project where me and a bunch of illustrators under the art direction of Maria Vladimirova (who is a super talented illustrator and good friend) did the Diesel shop window displays on Carnaby street and Covent garden. I had never done a shop window before and it was a great project and something I'd like to do again. And then I love making t-shirts just for my own brand. I Love t-shirts...

Diesel are quite notorious for having really interesting displays aren’t they? Yeah, they have done some really interesting windows; Selfridges have had some really amazing ones as well. H&M are always boring these days, it's a shame, I wish they would call me haha.

There are a lot of talented Swedish artists out there, they need to be sorting it out, they could get one illustrator per shop! London is filled with talented creatives! But maybe we should use our skills for other things than supporting more senseless spending and shopping. How did you find your time at University? Did it help you become the Illustrator you are today? Hmm. Honestly. I hated it. I totally lost belief in myself and my work. I think that's fairly common, that happened to both of us at Lemonade as well, it took me 2 years before I even picked up a pencil again. I never really understood how it worked, how some students had to follow briefs while others could do whatever they wanted. I realised early on that I just had to do my own thing and made sure I got a really good work placement that basically taught me everything I know about art and using software etc. I did not learn any of that in college but instead at home and my placement. I started designing for various companies while I was on my course and still somehow managed to get a 2:1

I don't know how, my college work was horrible and I was never a favourite with the teachers either which didn't really help. I say I hated it but I did meet two really good tutors that I really liked so nothing bad about them, the course was just not working for me. Are there any artists, past or present, that you are inspired by? Yes, loads! I don't feel that they inspire me in my work but there's a lot of artists that I find very inspiring and so great that I wonder why I am even trying. Like David Shriggley, I love his work, he is amazing! I also really like Gustav Klimt and his passion and admiration of women, and a Swedish children's book illustrator, Emma Adb책ge, I love her work. Her children's books are mind blowing, great colours and very playful, fun drawings and characters. There are so many! What advice would you give an aspiring illustrator -In hindsight, would you have done anything different? Don't try to be someone else. Nobody wants a Jon Burgerman or a David Shriggley copy, be your own original instead. It took me a year to realise that actually I can do whatever I want to do and that I do not only have to do collage or hand drawn work. We are all different and just have to find ways of working that suit us and not care about trends or what others are doing.

I don't think I would have done anything differently, even though I hated those two last college years they were still good as I met some amazing new illustrators and friends and learned to stand my ground and to go out and just throw myself into the industry. Work placements are also great! I know some people have had really bad experiences and only made tea and coffee but I learned so much and wouldn't have been where I am today without it. The confidence that died in college came back through my work placement. All of a sudden my designs were on products in hundreds of shops around Sweden and Norway and I wasn't even trained in design work! I got such a kick out of that and wanted to chain myself to my desk at the placement, I didn't want to leave! I had just found out what I wanted to do and that I could actually do it, and then had to go back to college again, that sucked. Right, just a few more questions, I could do this all night, it's so interesting but I'm sure we have other things we should be doing! Yes, I got some penguins' waiting to be made ha-ha. What do you think the current trends are in illustration and how do you see the industry evolving.

UNTITLED

lemonade|a chat with

I am not sure about what's trendy right now, I think the best thing we can do is to not care about trends and just do our thing. I think that illustrators and designers have become much more pro active in the last ten years, we do our own products and start our own brands, we arrange our own exhibitions and events and start collectives so we do not sit and wait for opportunities any more, we create them and as hungry creative people only time will tell what we will do. Like I mentioned earlier on, it could be interesting if illustrators and designers started to do more society related work, improve hospitals, play grounds etc. Where would you like to see your work take you? Have you got any plans for the future? Hmm, I want to do everything! That's' my problem. I love design and think that the dream situation is freelancing for design companies while doing my illustration work on the side but if that doesn't work out then I might just go and do it myself and set up my own company, I just have to sell a few more t-shirts first. Right, that's it, you have been excellent! Thanks, hope I made sense! I'm looking forward to seeing your

aving seen the new Bell & Ross Twelve O’Clock concept I was struck at how similar it was to a past project by Christiaan Postma. Postma assembled more than 150 clock mechanisms to display the time, however it is not represented numerically. Instead each hand gradually rotates and interacts with other surrounding hands to reveal the hour as a word.

The creative process is described as such by the artist himself. The starting point with this project was a personal study about form & time. I put together more than 150 individual clockworks and made them work together to become one clock. I show the progress of time by letting the numbers be written in words by the clockworks. Reading clockwise, the

time being is visible through a word and readable by the completeness of the word, 12 words from “one” to “twelve”. The size of the clock is 1,4 by 1,4 meter. An ingenious time piece that doubles as a splendid work of art.

ee, this is why Spotify is a great thing, you want to get some work done so you log on, the homepage loads up and presents you with 6 "New Releases".

s

Now, there is chance you are probably aware of maybe 2 of them and because we listen to a lot of music that is usually the case. So you are then left with 4 new releases and although you are told thousands of times over not to judge a book by its cover, or in this case music, but we still do. and BANG! there goes 2 more. So 4 down, 2 to go and you are left with a choice, Do we take a chance on one of these 2 remaining albums and give it a proper listen or do we give it a miss for today and go straight to the playlist marked "Lemonade?�

Well, luckily for us today we did choose to have a listen and we just so happened to stumble upon one of our new favourite albums. We have a pretty eclectic taste here at Lemonade, I'm sure the range of our music related posts testify to that, so we're open to anything. "Siberia" by LIGHTS has a combination of a lot of stuff that is already on our playlist rolled into one. It has fuzzy, distorted bass lines, catchy courses, dub step style break downs, acoustic guitars and even a progressive house style remix thrown into the mix. Thankyou Spotify and thank you Lights, we shall reward you greatly with a drawing in your name (LIGHTS that is, Spotify you will have to make do with our gratitude)

ree music is great isn’t it, well, OK, not always, but when its good, then its great! Now, a quick side note/rant before we go any further.I have no idea how this singer isn’t signed (cue the XFactor rant) and hopefully by the end of this article you will agree. Right, to the music.

So, This morning I put on my “Trance, House & Progressive” Playlist, my playlist of choice when working, and a few tracks later the Fred Falke remix came on and I instantly started nodding away. I decided then to finally listen to the rest of Florrie’s tracks expecting much of the same, but to my surprise, they didn’t. Now this can sometimes be a problem, I’m sure we have all done it before, you purchase an album based on a couple of tracks and then feel utterly disappointed by the rest of the songs, who’s with me? Happily for me the tracks on offer are so diverse, but yet all work cohesively as one collection, and whilst for the most part they have a dance style backbone (the standard thudding kick drum is a classic right?) they are all unique in their own way.

h hs

I became aware of Florrie’s music through Tiesto’s Club Life Podcast a few months back, the track that grabbed my attention was the Loverush UK! Club Mix of “I Took A Little Something” which I thought was a really refreshing approach to a remix. So, I tried to find more of the same which led me to Florrie’s website where I was greeted with a whole albums worth of free tracks and remixes and like any good music hoarder would, I proceeded to download everything, import it into my ITunes library and then proceed with my usual routine of not listening to it. I tell a lie, I did listen to one other track first and that was the Fred Falke remix of “I Took A Little Something” which is probably my favourite track to date. You would have thought that that might have been a sign to carry on listening to the rest of the songs there and then, but I digress.

After listening to all of Florrie’s free tracks I had a look through the rest of her website and noticed that she had an album for sale on ITunes which I was happy enough to purchase based purely on the quality of the free tracks, even more so when it cost only £1.79! As I type I am listening to the latest album “Experiments” and I will write about it in a separate article later on but why wait for my opinion? Head over to Florrie’s website and check out the free tracks, what have you got to lose right?

BJORNBERG A B S O L U T ordic countries seem to produce some of my favourite musicians and have done for quite some time. Across the board, in any genre of music I listen to there will always be someone from this region at the top of my list or not far from it.

N

Bjornberg “Absolut”) Sweden has some interesting musical stories to tell. Not only does it have the SHM and Avicii, it also has the musical talent of Adam Björnberg to fill silence. Residing under his Björnberg moniker, the 17-yearold(!) brings us the thunderous beats of ‘Absolut’.

Anyway, so on one of my daily browses through Beatport I came across this brilliantly catchy song by young Swedish producer Björnberg, and when I say young, I mean young. Have a read of his bio taken from the Zouk recordings website

Absolut’ is a piece of music that can get any crowd moving, whether at the start, peak-time or end of the night. Its prog-housy stabs, frisky beats and relentless energy invite you to a game of big-room pleasure. Absolute’ is absolutely going to kill your feet! Just the way we like it…

Zouk Recordings seem to have a knack at the moment of releasing these types of anthemic songs that get into your bones, most notably for us ‘Svenksa‘ and ‘Hi Scandinavia‘ by the Russian duo ‘Matisse & Sadko‘ which are two of our most played songs this year. Maybe we will do a top 10 Zouk Recordings playlist and post it on our last.fm page for you to listen to and tell us what you think.
