[edit] Graphic Design House is associated with Intro, a London-based design/production direction company who work in many media. House is perhaps most known for his album cover design; most notably for Stereolab and Broadcast, both bands who share many influences with House, both visually and musically[citation needed], but also for The Prodigy and Razorlight amongst others.
His work is largely collage-based, and draws heavily on record sleeve design and comic book art, with an acknowledged pulp infuence - in House's own words, the 'pulp' end of things which still informs me today, as much as classic design.. Strange old vinyl LPs, paperback books, found ephemera... In the same interview, House named many artists across many disciplines as influences, ranging from Peter Saville, Saul Bass and Max Ernst to William Burroughs, Bryon Gysin, HP Lovecraft, and Lewis Carroll.[1]
[edit] Music House releases music under the alias The Focus Group on the label Ghost Box Music, which he is co-founder of with Jim Jupp. The releases on the label tend to share a common aesthetic, both in design and sound, which draws heavily on the sound of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, musique concrete, the soundtracks to documentaries from the 1970s, and library music.[citation needed]
He lists his most recent work as collaborating with Martina Topley-Bird, some public information films for Live Earth, ongoing Ghost Box work and a musical collaboration with Broadcast[2].
