Derive(ative) Mix CD
- Client
Personal Project - Date
May 2005
This mix CD was created for a friend and allowed me to test out a few various techniques I had wanted to work out for myself.
The CD played off the surrealist idea of the derive, where they would walk randomly throughout the city, taking in everything and letting one event lead to the next. In the end, hopefully greater knowledge was achieved. The songs on this CD were not listed. Before each track was an audio set of loose instructions for each song, allowing the listener to get in the right set of mind to freely roam throughout the song towards some greater goal.
As far as the artwork, I had been working at Starshaped Press doing a good handfull of letterpress work, so I set out to completely recreate the feel of a letterpress piece using only Photoshop; From the texture of the chipboard to the way that overprinted inks react. I would later use some of these techniques on the Live on WLUW 2xCD set.
