A concept album by The Telescopes released by the publishing house Yard Press, inaugurating a series of record productions curated by Giandomenico Carpentieri in which artists develop an experimental concept album designed specially for the publisher. It is inspired by the Stone Tape Theory formulated by Thomas Charles Lethbridge in 1961: the idea that inanimate materials can absorb energy from living beings, and that this energy, released during emotional or traumatic events, could be stored in such materials and reproduced under certain conditions. The six songs were written, produced, arranged and played by Stephen Lawrie, founder of the band.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
