The Fab Four by Daniel Davidson

£ 39.00

A once in a lifetime coming together of talent: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star. Original, prolific, energetic, talented. Every album and record they published broke records. They are influential for every reason, commercial and artistic but most obviously for being massively successful.   They are the biggest selling band in history having sold about 1 billion records counting digital downloads; in digital they started late. In this artwork the colours reflect the work of Wassily Kandinsky in his essay Concerning The Spiritual in Art.  Among other things Kandinsky explains his synaesthesia and the colour equivalents of musical notes.  The blocks of colour that would otherwise be the band member's heads are representative of the instruments they played. Daniel's interpretation here is one of the unconscious steps towards Colour of Music, our app that translates any song we can buy into a coloured bar code, where the colours of the stripes represent the notes and the width of the stripes the length of the notes.  Around 18 months after receiving this artwork from Daniel we had his first translation: So What, the first track from Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
