Hi guys, as a few of you are quite aware I am rob gale a freelance video editor and graphic designer, Most recently working with an indie record label based in the US producing album artwork. I have worked with bands such as Smashing Grandpa, Genetic Misprints, Brains over Prawns, Mute and The Unspoken and most recently a british artist entitled ‘CI7IZ3N850’.
Usually when I recieve a brief through the door, or via email, I can contact the artists to converse about what they require, or I know the artists personally and know what they will like. HOWEVER…
A few weeks ago I recieved requesting me to create an album cover for CI7IZ3N850’s latest release.
UNFORTUNATELY, he is impossible to contact, even Mute (The Record Label Manager) is clueless about what he might want and any other details.
THUS BEGINS MY JOURNEY.
Upon speaking to Mute I have permission to persue my own studies into ‘THE CITIZEN’ (As I will refer to him from now on), I do not wish to unmask him or his persona, just track him down for an interview type conversation that can be used for my own records and the label’s promotional material.
Along with this blog, I intend to produce a webseries, filming and recording my journey, entitled ‘HUNTING CITIZEN’.
(I know many people will be saying ‘why should we care’ however my findings so far are justification enough for me to persue him)
ROB.
