i started my visual responses by picking out different themes that came up in the album and figuring out ways in which i could illustrate them - most are quite abstract so the initial stages were about figuring out things like how to illustrate the feeling of time running out, and what consciousness might look like visually etc.
themes:
*time
*longing
*nostalgia
*love
*awareness
*consciousness
*duality/identity
*reflections
*connection
*solitude
thought the sound drawings were an interesting way to visually translate what the album feels like - kind of translating what individual songs sound like in a visual way. feel like this can be pushed further - want to make bigger versions of these and maybe use them as backgrounds for the little comics that have already started emerging in my sketchbook.
started playing around also with the visual format i wanted those initial sketches to take - and i've already tried to nod to the psychedelic aspects of the album through the colour schemes i've used but might be worth doing more research on psychedelic art and maybe even looking further into the album art itself!!!
also thinking of nodding to the musical inspiration for this project through the presentation of my final outcomes - thinking it would be nice to have a sleeve where my work sits that is the same size and format as a vinyl record? and a publication that is maybe the size of a CD? in which ways can i nod to the physicality of the album itself in my final outcomes?

| possible outcomes??? |
to take forward!:
more research on psychedelic art
more research into sound drawings? and art made from music?
keep drawing from those themes! keep those narratives coming!
more research on vinyls - what kind of bits come in them that could inspire my final outcomes? pull out posters, postcards etc
