album artwork [draft]

-

the song I have prepared in conjunction with this piece is unfinished; that being said, I primarily focus with soundscapes and ambience, and wanted to reflect that ambiguity in my album artwork.  once I have more of the song finished, I intend to flesh out the album artwork, possibly with some sort of framing/typography.  below is a link to listen to the song.

for my final project, I will be composing a song along with accompanying album artwork.  I intend to produce various iterations of album artwork, mainly in an attempt to experiment with different directions.  often my work revolves around themes of nostalgia, and as such I intend to utilize 35mm film heavily within my compositions.  below are some images I may utilize.
