Aluminium is a music project based on an orchestral reworking of the music of The White Stripes. Its members are Richard Russell and Joby Talbot. Jack White of The White Stripes has endorsed the project. Rob Jones has also produced an exhibition of artwork based on the album. Ten images based on the album, as well as a series of other White Stripes and Raconteurs artwork, all by Rob Jones, were displayed at the Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester in autumn 2006. In the 999 LP editions of the album, there are 10‑inch square sections of a silk print by Rob Jones in each sleeve. The album, consisting of orchestral music, was originally conceived by Richard Russell and Joby Talbot. After working on several tracks — including “Aluminium” (the White Stripes’ original from White Blood Cells, retaining the American spelling “Aluminum”) and “I’m Bound to Pack It Up” — they presented the work to The White Stripes in Cincinnati. Following White’s penchant for the number “3”, only 3,333 copies of the CD version were produced, along with 999 LPs. In addition, the album is available as an unlimited download. It was available for pre‑order on November 6, 2006, and fully released on November 13. The music was recorded by a specially selected orchestra. Part of it has since been used in the ballet Chroma, choreographed by Wayne McGregor for The Royal Ballet.
