Cover Art Process for Snares N' Roses


My original idea was a snare drum disintegrating or melting upwards like it's in space or some other world with different physics with one small floating rose and 2 drumsticks above it. On a DIY budget, I started messing with the AI sites I had access to. A few of those experiments are above and below.

I wasn't into any of them 100% and tried going another route.

I still wanted a snare as the main shit. So new idea to try was an alien-like snare drum floating in the middle of dense forests on some Twin Peaks shit. I started looking at photos of our hikes here in the Pacific Northwest when I saw the batch of ones Klod took for an Inperspective album but didn't end up using. It had the abandoned pier stilts and it was instantly "yeh that's the one."

breakformation.01

First instalment of a new beat tape series from myself, breakformation.01, is out now. This series, based on flipping video game soundtracks, is something that's been on my 'project ideas list' for years. Theme for this one is Persona 5, an engrossing JRPG series with a soulful and often, melancholy soundtrack. 

The game doesn't require as much grinding as some other JRPGs but you may want to do multiple playthroughs of it maxing out different social connections each time. We went through the entire 3 CD soundtrack live on my Twitch channel and flipped some of it for this beat tape. The beats came out so varied, from Hip-Hop with heavy swing, Drumfunk, and there's even a 4/4 House type tune in there titled 'starvick5'! So yeah, most of the tune names are also based on drinks in the game which are a play on real world brands or drinks ha!
