Here's Your Inspiration:

The Invisible Line

CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THEIR SOUND!

At the South by Southwest 2007 festival, Temposhark announced on stage that their debut album was to be called The Invisible Line. Robert Diament has said that the album title was inspired by controversial British artist Tracey Emin from passages in her books Exploration Of The Soul (1994) and Strangeland (2005)

He went to say “There was a phrase that had stuck in my head, it's early on when Tracey talks about her birth. She describes the moment she was born, how she was holding onto invisible lines that connect us all to each other, the past, the present etc… and it resonated with me so strongly as that was always the way I've thought about music, as a magical thing that can travel around the world and connect us to each other. The philosopher Spinoza wrote about invisible lines too in his work… there's many layers to it…I like the surreal, dream-like quality to the idea.”

Contest Guidelines

All Temposhark Contest Designs should be based on the theme “The Invisible Line”, which is the name of their upcoming album. Designs should not contain the name of the band nor album name.
