Yair Elazar Glotman – Speculative Memories album art

Speculative Memories is inspired by the rich sound design and experimental double bass playing in Glotman’s most recent homonymous album, combining his classical training as a double bassist alongside his studies in electroacoustic composition to create textural and spatial works. The album was released in both traditional listening format as well as a sound library made available by Spitfire Audio, allowing musicians and sound designers access to the variety of sounds, voices and textures used across the record.

The LP’s design is made through both restrained and expressive, interpretative forms to demonstrate the nature of the record’s attempt to reconcile with the ever changing obscurity of our personal memories.

The physical record consists of a traditional black vinyl with a screen printed outer plastic sleeve which obscures the cover image beneath it with illustrative non-linear line drawings.

Speculative Memories was released on Spitfire Audio. Design by Dennis McInnes & George Edge at Cave Studio, with photography by Shuka Glotman.
