The Not-So Invisible Ghost

By Teri Firkins

The Idea

She must not be gone now / for I see her wherever I go

The album and corresponding (yet unreleased) screenplay follows the relationship of two ill-fated lovers. The album art captures two pivotal pieces of the plot, the climax (the locket) and the conclusion, the feeling of being haunted by someone you loved, sensing their presence everywhere despite the reality that the relationship is over. The construction of the album needed to capture the essence of the music, nothing overly slick or produced; it was important for the artist that their hands touched every single piece we created. While the screenprinted 12″ vinyl needed to be the star (it is how the music was meant to be listened to), a related CD package was created from scrap paper, two simple rubber stamps and colored yarn, staying true to the primary plot elements and requested production techniques.
