When you think back to the first album you bought or reminisced about your all time favourite single - do you just remember the music? Or do you also remember the album cover and the music video? If you love Kate Bush, is it just for her music? Or the controversial performance art? And when you finally get to see your favourite artist in concert, would you really be happy with a barebones performance? No lights, no sparkles... just music?
Our Summer issue is all about getting visual. We talk to musos who are passionate about the role of visual art in music and showcase the talents of musicians, music loving models, artists and photographers alike.
We still have big plans in the next year, but we will be taking a hiatus on the issues and focusing on the website and refining back issues. Don’t forget to visit us at altmu.co.uk.
