Book excerpt: Over the last 10 years, Copenhagen-based graphic designer Denise Burt has been on a unique discovery of contemporary classical music through her work designing covers for hundreds of art music releases. In "Seeing New Music" she tells, from a personal viewpoint, the stories behind the creation of 24 of her CD designs. She also explains how starting out as a music novice she learnt to inquire and engage with the ideas behind the often complex music, in order to create more meaningful designs. She takes us on a visual journey through a diverse range of new music projects and gives us an easily understandable entry-point into a genre of music that is generally considered difficult or elite.
