Michael Weber: OMAKASE Album Art
Michael Weber's vision for Omakase was already somewhat developed, and he approached me to help him put his vision together. OMAKASE. What does this mean? Omakase is a Japanese word and it’s literal definition means “to be left up to you”. This term is commonly associated with sushi restaurants which offer Omakase-style dinners where the sushi chef makes anywhere from 10-20 single bites for you to try. They tend to contain seasonal or locally acquired ingredients. It's considered one of the most luxurious offers in the culinary world to attend a high-end Omakase dinner.
"I decided to concept and create a whole album around sushi and what i do for a living. Lots of repetition and back-and-forth beats to simulate what I experience when feeding customers on a daily basis at my sushi bar. I am constantly writing beats down when I get home. This album is literally the inside of my brain while being a sushi chef." - Michael Weber Taking the concept to its final form, we utilized classic japanese themes such as the OBI strip, and authentic fonts from the 1980's I have collected from various physical media sources. (Its cool to say this now!) Listen to the album if you can, it rocks.
