Flashpoint

The movie Flashpoint starred Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams.

“Another by-the-numbers score from Tangerine Dream, though a little more interesting this time, with the odd bit of unusual dynamics and a few examples of something other than the arpeggio-driven synthesizer tones. Good driving music.”

Edgar designs most of the TD album covers. When is he satisfied with the end product?

Answered by Administrator

Edgar studied arts and crafts in university and worked for a few years as a graphic designer before becoming a professional musician. This taught him to make his ideas real visually. The original idea was to give all the covers a certain identity that would be seen as a foundation for the label. Normally the cover is designed after the music has already been completed. Listening to the music while designing the cover is a way to get direct inspiration. The results are often spontaneous. Edgar works solely with the computer. Over the years he has developed a certain technique by using various software programs. If you look at album covers and other pieces of art you will see parts of an old collage and morphing technique – that’s what he prefers to work from.
