The Legend of Kaptain Karnival

The Legend of Kaptain Karnival is an epic and highly original audio-visual feast from the imagination of renowned graphic artist and DJ/producer/composer Jem Panufnik, aka Jem Stone, in the form of a lavishly illustrated art book with specially created musical soundtrack.

Take yourself on a psychedelic voyage of discovery through thrilling and bizarre scenarios on a quest to find the truth about this tantalising icon, Kaptain Karnival: deity, Confucius or downright cheeky monkey? Or perhaps it is an inward search in pursuit of lost magic and mischief?

Fifteen glorious chapters of Jem’s striking and surreal imagery are accompanied by their own compelling and hypnotic soundtrack of electronica. Ranging from lush ambience, nu-jazz and dub to the kind of unique twisted funk, wonky disco and jazzy breaks the Finger Lickin’ Records pioneer is famous for.

The book is 24.5cm square and the 96 pages are printed and bound on heavyweight 150gsm paper, with hardback cover and a CD of music beautifully incorporated within the book’s highly imaginative artwork. You will not have seen or heard anything like it before!
