Karim Rashid Designs First CD - The ObliqSound Remixes Vol. 2
ObliqSound steps deftly into the realm of "designer music" with the
innovation of an accessory that speaks as much to fashion as it does to refined
musical taste. Brazilian plastic footwear manufacturer Melissa
produced The ObliqSound Remixes Vol 2 Limited Edition carrier case as designed
by Karim Rashid. It is a beautiful collectors item which marries great
music with cutting-edge design to create a sleek and sensual multi-purpose
accessory that is aesthetically distinctive. Available in pearl white and
electric blue, only 2,000 copies of this limited edition will be available
worldwide. (ObliqSound)
"Art, design and music are so intertwined and intrinsic to one another--they are conduits and modes of self-expression. So when the elegant, bombastic label ObliqSound approached me to design their special remix CD, I was jazzed to say the least, ” opines Karim Rashid. “I have loved jazz all my life, and my favorite most influential period was in the seventies when jazz got conceptual and funky (dazz, fazz and acid jazz sounds). I love their really contemporary new jazz sound. It has the nuances and flavors of my favorite jazz periods, but takes us to a new level, offering a new axiom in jazz.I wanted to create a techno-visual package that speaks about this new age of digital jazz, of jazz that has been remixed to move our spirits, our lives and touch our modicum and aural landscape." - Karim Rashid (Jazz News)
