"GANDHARVA"......too 'blue', I wondered? Paul Beaver's Heart was a Lonely Hunter in an Electronic Wasteland as the last teardrops fell from the electrical umbilical cables, 'shorting out' his Lifeline...........

buried,  within the pages of a Rand McNally World Atlas, the design that I submitted to Beaver and Krause's publisher, in 1970, for their upcoming  album cover.......It was, alas, not accepted.......and I did not, alas, receive the Bob Moog Synthesizer that would have been the 'reward' for having been chosen.......the 'chosen' art was, ironically, also blue and red......the SAME blue and red....go figure!  My design was, conceptually,  'too much like the 1968 Cover Design for a Nonsuch Electronic Music Album", maybe? 

 

Jan 16, 2026 will be the 51st anniversay of Paul Beaver's death after his cerebral aneurysm
