"IO Vapoura" by Jaya Prime

Pt 12 of 36 in the "Spectral Recursion" series

"A blade of grass is a commonplace on Earth; it would be a miracle on Mars." ~Carl Sagan

Notes: This is my original album art for "IO Vapoura [Variations]" (2010) -- world, downtempo, transnational, electronic music. The flying city of Vapoura is coming through my signature fractal -- a bent hyperbolic fractal that appears in more than 60% of my designs. I have a similar signature in my music, where I sign one song on every album with a glitched synth-sequence. Not only was "Vapoura" one of my favorite albums to create, but it has remained my favorite to listen to over the years. My song "Gongo Dodan" has been remixed more times than I can count, yet retains the same ineffable and striking "otherness" that gives it its namesake. "Gongo dodan", translated from Japanese, means: "Words fail." Words. Fail.
