Tomorrow, AIGA Santa Barbara is hosting The Art of Music: Translating Sound to Sight at the Balboa Building (735 State St.) from 6 to 8 p.m. Organized by our very own designer/developer Keir DuBois, the event will include presentations by Capitol Records president Hale Milgrim, former Apple Records art director John Kosh, former CBS Records art director Andy Engel, and our CEO Jacob Tell! Each will be sharing their personal experiences with the processes of designing iconic album artwork, gig posters and illustrations to show how artists transform their songs into something visual.
Keir was interviewed by the SB Independent recently to talk about the event. He is beyond excited to have these legendary artists speak at this event. He stated, “I still get starry-eyed thinking about what it was like to work somewhere like Capitol Records, so we like to draw a balance between inspirational stories for creative professionals and discussing the practicality aspects of the job.” You can read the full feature here.
Admission to the event includes food, wine, and music spun by DJ Darla Bea that you won’t want to miss. To learn more about the event visit santabarbara.aiga.org!
