KEN ANDREWS

Musician/Producer Ken Andrews released his solo record, Secrets of the Lost Satellite the year following his former band, Failure, released their Essentials collection. Ken’s album title immediately conjured the pre-historic geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines of Peru. The only technology available to capture an image of such massive physical scale was synchronously a satellite. Working with NASA and Japan’s Aster program, initial technical guidance and geographical information system software were provided. Experimentation ensued. Images were composited using variations of satellite data sets, combining elevation with select spectrums of light from the Nazca Desert. The resulting images were further colour graded, becoming the basis for a sci-fi inspired design that extended across a matte 4 panel CD digipack, 6 panel foldout insert, tour poster, postcard, website, 30 page art book, lithographs, advertisements, and cloth patches. In 2024, a gatefold orange vinyl release was added to the collection.
