Tom Phillips, the artist whose work graces the front, back and interior of King Crimson's Starless And Bible Black has a new variation of his ongoing graphic work A Humument. You can now listen to the artist reading from A Humument via this very snazzy limited edition USB.



The enigmatic phrase which is on the back cover of Starless And Bible Black originates from page 222 of the work. Click on this link to see the original page of the Victorian novel upon which Phillips bases his graphic interventions and enhancements. You can find out more about the origins of this remarkable work by visiting the official site.

Phillips also used the phrase as a title for a 2005 collage.



A Humument
is available in several different editions and as an app
