"COMPREHENDING AUDIO & APPLYING COHESIVE VISUAL APPLICATIONS TO MUSICIAL MEDIA."

MISSION STATEMENT

LLUMII, (LOOM-E) is an upcoming edm artist that makes music in the category of experimental edm, exploring different techniques in sound design. This thesis was based around exploring VISUAL IDENTITY and other methods for their album, “A Most Beautiful Gift.”

Audio Analysis: Representing Musicians is an exploration of the symbiotic relationship between a visual identity, the musician and their music. This multidisciplinary approach to visualizing music invites the viewer to fully envelop themselves in a beautiful expression of auditory creativity.

Taking into account the various platforms and formats through which music is consumed, this thesis investigates how these formats can be pushed further. These experiments seek to highlight the creative process of the musician, the themes embedded into the album, and the overall visual and auditory experience

Thesis Abstract

Cover Concepts For LLUMII

Vinyl & Cover: Taking the structure of a vinyl jacket, and expanding on traditional appearances. An album cover is a crucial factor to help represent the chosen music through visual practices. Features such as paper engineering can be incorporated inside the vinyl, to develop the narrative of the album through.

3D Stand: The purpose of the stand is to help present the vinyl as a “work of art.” How can the 2d aspects share a relationship to 3d aspects? Similar attributions in terms of visuals are going to be shared through both the vinyl & the stand.

Inputs: Graphic Design, Sculpture + 3D, Printing Methods, Paper Engineering
