This is a book and a song. Mmmโ€ฆ Skyscraper I Love You is a song by the band Underworld, and the lyrics by Karl Hyde were about New York city.

This is a book and a song. Mmmโ€ฆ Skyscraper I Love You is a song by the band Underworld, and the lyrics by Karl Hyde were about New York city.

Anyone that is aware of Hydeโ€™s work would know it is heavily reliant on words; from lyrics he writes that are a a mixture of songwriting, overheard conversations and observations on the street, recorded in his ears much like a street photographer uses a lens.

These lyrics were then taken up Hyde in collaboration with John Warwicker of design company Tomato.

They both then used painting and typography in order to make a book of words. Tomato is almost an extension of the band Underworld, Hyde being part of the informal company, they made music videos, design artwork and promotional material as part of the creative process of the music, much like the relationship between Stanley Donwood and Radiohead.

Here's another prompt for your consideration! What's lost, or added, when we layer layers of diffusion and composition, tagging and description, back and forth? Our submission window is closing soon, but get experimenting and have something ready either for Issue 4 or for December when we reopen!
