This is the official cover art for Peter Gregson's new album "PATINA", available on Deutsche Grammophon.

For years, I have been mesmerized by the river systems that glaciers leave behind. Their feathery blue veins illuminated by refracting glacial flour flow through scraped landscapes like abstract art. When I saw this from my drone in 2018, I imagined a cello playing. Two years later, I met cellist & composer Peter Gregson.

Peter writes, "There was something about the scale, colour, & serenity of this scene that drew me in early on when writing the record. I love how it teeters on the edge of reality but retains a grandeur that could only be natural. This was the foundation of the artwork & aesthetic for the whole record: something that was so real, it almost looked artificial."

PHYSICAL BONUS: The original collector of this NFT will receive PATINA on VINYL! Contact me via social media.
