Fluency Fabrics

'Fluency Fabrics' by Drei Farben House combines Disco-infused House music with an interest in architectural cover artworks. The album's sleeve shows the 'Doris and Norman Fisher House' in Hatboro (a suburb of Philadelphia) designed by Louis I. Kahn from 1960-1967. Kahn, based in Philadelphia and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, was already in his sixties and progressively getting famous around this time for his sensitive combination of concrete and brick in larger scales. The almost spiritual sensibility of his buildings and his poetry of light created deep, fundamental connections between the spaces and their inhabitants.
“Every building must have . . . its own soul”, this famous quote of Kahn can easily be seen in the modest and wonderfully warm Fisher house which consits of two intersecting cubic volumes created from cedar wood – finished at the same time when only twenty miles away the newly founded Sigma Sound Studio recorded the Delfonics first record, installing the basements of Philadelphia Soul which was later leading to Phillysound, Disco and House.
Concept, art direction and graphic design of 'Fluency Fabrics' have been created by Till Sperrle of ITF Grafikdesign, one the most sought after conceptual designers in the field of electronic & independent music. The cover photograph has been photographed by the leading architectural photographer Tom Crane.
