They own the records already. This is the part the records never showed them: how few people it actually took.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI plot these in CAD software. Every credited musician becomes a transit line, every album becomes a station, and anyone who appears only once gets a branch line of their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree stations, Bleach in 1989, Nevermind in 1991 and In Utero in 1993, and a set of lines that carry on past the last one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour musicians are credited on Bleach. Six are credited on In Utero. That is the entire span of a band that changed the decade, and seeing it at that scale is the point of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot an algorithm - every connection on this map was made by hand, by an obsessive fan. I worked from the sleeve credits, which is why the odd spellings and the uncredited appearances are on there too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic run across all three albums. Cobain is credited on Bleach as Kurdt Kobain, and Novoselic on the first two as Chris Novoselic, which is how the sleeves have it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChad Channing drums on Bleach, and Dale Crover plays drums on three of its tracks. Dave Grohl arrives at Nevermind, but Channing has one more appearance after that: uncredited cymbals on Polly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the map is strings and one guitar. Kurt Cobain and Canning play cello on Something in the Way, Kera Schaley on All Apologies and Dumb, and Lori Goldston on the live tracks. Pat Smear joins for the In Utero era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrohl and Smear are the two lines that do not stop at 1993. Both run on into the Foo Fighters catalogue, which is mapped in full on its own print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrint Specifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
