For this project, the aim was to translate the thoughtful stillness exhibited within the music and original collage art provided by the artist visually. This resulted in the development of textures and abstract compositions that felt at home with the original collage art as well as a thematic echoing of the collage process within the text layout.

Spotify Canvas animation for Xinxin’s single, “Control” which centers around themes of overbearing self-awareness, and existential dread. My vision for this piece was to capture these themes by creating what feels like the angsty pencil doodles of a disenfranchised young adult coming to terms.

This project was a true labor of love being the culmination of so many songs and ideas that I had presonally preformed as a musician alongside some of my most highly-regarded peers. Closeness with the project presented some unique challenges that insighted the development of strategies to maintain perspective and keep the voice of the project at the forefront.

ABOUT
Early exposure to obscure and eclectic music spheres, countless hours burning CDs and living life to a soundtrack, the feelings insighted by Graffitti art, indie films, anime, and fashion magazines;
All of these things have subtley shaped my sensibilities and love for sound and design.
Whether approaching a mix, or developing a visual concept, I draw from experience as an enthusiast first, often embracing unconventional approaches to craft atmosphere and emotion across both sonic and visual spaces.
Much of my work involves translating between these realms, finding the visual rhythm in audio or the sonic quality in design, creating cohesive experiences that speak to both senses.
