David Byrne / Brian Eno
Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
David Byrne and Brian Eno approached us to create the deluxe packaging for their latest collaboration - Everything that Happens Will Happen Today. The music is folksy - however not without a dark edge.
We let this influence the design of the package. An idyllic suburban house sets the stage for many different scenes. Some seemingly innocuous (an oil stain on the driveway), some quite curious (an industrial-size air conditioning unit on the front lawn) and others more disturbing (a gasoline canteen in the kitchen)... All of them eluding to a deeper story which goes untold.
Recipients of the special edition package are treated to a miniature 3D diorama of the scene, light-activated sound-effects originating from within the house, a 92-page lyrics mini-booklet, the music CD, a bonus DVD with enhanced content and other surprises.
