Art, Music and Words: Unknown Public

(excerpt from the intro to the website)

Unknown Public is both a journal and a compilation CD, a creative music festival for the front room’ beautifully packaged in a hardback book format that incorporates essays, credits, annotations and biographical details. Established as a subscription-only service in the 1990s, it is mailed to subscribers in 50 countries. The UP concept draws upon the creativity of hundreds of musicians: the performers, composers and producers who contribute master tapes in the spirit that writers contribute manuscripts to a literary publication. The first twelve issues, designed by Tomato and a succession of distinguished guest graphic designers, were packed in a unique and eccentric plain brown box’ format.
