The album from teNeues brings together 350 photos and a QE code, giving readers access to eight unreleased Summers songs
As punk swept England in the mid-1970s, a trio of musicians forged their own path and gave the new band the name “Police”. They embraced reggae, jazz and funk to create a new style of pop rock. In 1979, they already had two albums under their belt and started touring the US, as hits like ‘Roxanne’ and ‘Message in a Bottle’ were setting the charts on fire. While sitting in his room watching TV, guitarist Andy Summers decided it was time to buy a proper camera and make use of his time as they went from gig to gig. Now, he is releasing his fifth photo album, entitled “A Series of Glances”.
Drawing from his love for the “New Wave” film trend, Summers began to compose photographs of the everyday, which are both mysterious and commonplace; images that bring to mind the quote from the 19th century English critic Walter Pater “All art is ever aiming at the state of music.” With the release of the album “A Series of Glances”, Andy Summers looks back on his travels around the world. A retrospective of four decades of his experimental work, combining street photography, documentary photography and portraiture with poetic reveries in faraway places such as Thailand, China, Morocco, Brazil and Bolivia, among others.

“Opens the shutter – closes the shutter,” Summers writes in the book. “As few words as possible. Don’t talk about photographers. This is a jungle, this is a river, this is a city. Somewhere… That’s all». The album from teNeues brings together 350 photos and a QE code that gives readers access to eight unreleased Summers songs and an audio documentary in which Summers shares stories and glimpses of his life from both sides of the photographic lens. In addition, a list of musical compositions with titles is hosted on the website prepared by the publishing house “Andy Summers – A Series of Glances – Favorites”.
In parallel, Summers has launched a series of solo concerts – ‘The Cracked Lens + A Missing String’ – in which he fuses music, photography and literature (in the US and Canada until December 10).
