DARKEST STAR

Another Music Album Design, but this time commissioned by @/glamouruniverse (IG) so, I put the extra mile into making this gorgeous! To the point it even surprised me, and wow… took a whole month in contrast to Lockdown's half a month process 🔥. Still, was WORTH every careful design decision because… just look at that!!

A shame this time the photo session was a bit so-so because my amazing brain said "Let's use some cloudy backgrounds" and so the white light bounced A LOT and made it difficult to take clear-sharp shots tsk. But really: in hand looks beautiful. But I had fun! Especially when using those tiny golden doves (I sculpted them myself!) to accompany the compositions x3. I learned a ton with this too, and to be more careful next time I work with more of these in the future (for now, I'll wait until next year and prep a better comm sheet) because… it's quite taxing, not gonna lie haha ay.

Once more, thank you for the support to my client and anyone who enjoys my experimental works and wishes to see more of them 💖.

To the ones who know my work: what happened that I avoided putting a Depeche Mode song in the playlist?

Oh hohoho, I DID! But is a sort of Bonus Track, signaled in the Spine as "VIII"... and is the title of the whole album. I love that song so much:

"Stay as you are, the Darkest Star Shining for me majestically."

so there's a Stop Making Sense cover album coming out in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary, and i listened to the preview tracks that are out, and the best thing about it so far, for me, is that its reminded me that Girlfriend is Better is a really fucking good song

#i think girl in red's cover is fun but whenever i listen to it i have to listen to the original afterwards and be like DAMN!!!#i don't really like that she jumps into the chorus and 'stop making sense' parts early- kind of messes with the build up of the song for me #the original track is so killer. a song of all time #nothing is better than that!!!#i need a text post tag #i love MUSIC!!!! AAAAAAA (as a casual listener... i don't know like. any fucking music theory or terminology)#the thing about most of the tracks out for the cover album so far #is that they're like. not really very transformative?? they're very straightforward #so hayley williams is obviously having fun and doing a fine job singing burning down the house #but also its like. this isn't bringing anything new to the table for me... very listenable though. burning down the house!!!!#meanwhile in the little preview she's done; miley cyrus is sure putting a spin on psycho killer. but i don't like it #very excited for the full album to drop because i want to hear what kevin abstract does with once in a lifetime #and i love the national but i'm kinda like. can they do anything interesting with Heaven? i hope so! but i'm kinda expecting to be let down #like they'll just cover it straight and it'll be like. yep that sure is the national covering heaven by talking heads #im hoping they'll add something fun with drums... it'd dramatically change the vibe of the song but like. i like the national's drums #at the end of the day i think part of the problem is that talking heads are a tough act to follow

Thank you Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, the Cranberries, the last Dinner Party, Mitski and many more for getting it. You get it. (‘:

#sizzle rambles #Practically their live recordings and stuff #Something so different about seeing good performers #Makes the week songs on an album just pop and transform #Like I wish i wasn’t busy the week mitski is in town #Like id give my kidney to see her live #And i love her newest album so much #Like what if her next album is not as good? Or she never releases again? What if this is my only chance #Same for Glass animals coming around in September #Like i love life itself #Dreamland was fine #But i have a feeling their new album is going to hit #Taylor swift i wish i could be on your level #But you old stuff hit 12 year old me #But current me isn’t on the same vibrations anymore #Did have a dream about being at a swift concert #We like held hands and then she was like an ethereal goddess #But when i opened her mouth she kinda made the ‘your weird’ face #Ruined the moment #Even in the dream i acknowledged i wasn’t really a fan but it was still TAYLOR FREAKING SWIFT

I keep trying to like gay pop songs (listened to new chappel roan—didn't know who she was a week ago) but every time I'm just like. Ok.

#this isnt a dig im sad #im 'listens to maybe 6 albums on repeat depending on season in a year' type of autist #thats a slight exaggeration but i genuinely wish i was better at pop music #i liked the lyrics but the sounds did nothing transcendent to my body yk #I'm way too picky #if you want me to listen to your song more than once it has to physically transform me #txt #i only sort of know who crj is. sorry.

I see all these posts about sharing our favorite albums but i grew up in a time where you got money for like one CD for your birthday and that was your music for the entire year. i didnt just like those albums i had every second of them memorized. Anyway shoutout to the other 90's preteens for whom this album was your traumatic childhood healing \o/

#Jrnlsht #I remember when this came out #I was a few years or so late because it always took me ages to decide which album i wanted to buy #I would have to like at least three songs on the CD that i knew of from the radio already #And when i finally had my grubby hands on this one it turned out to be even more transformative than i imagined #Sad lonely questioning angry girl music <3 #My brothers never went blind for what they did but i may as well have #I'll see you next sunday #I think one of the things that pissed me off even as a kid was the people i saw keeping up a saintly facade #even as they judged me for being the granddaughter of catholics but unbaptized #When you knew the shit they did underneath the facade #And this song in particular skewered that particular type of person

thinking about how fearless being the first rerecord off the heels of folkmore is going to forever be preserved in the vault tracks and her approach to those musical arrangements and vocal performances 🥰

#& thinking about how those tracks completely transformed the album for me #vi is typing...

I have this great amount of respect and affection for massive fan projects.

Like I wander through TVTropes sometimes and there are these musical projects for some video games and pieces of media. Like there's an Ace Attourney musical (not talking about Random Encounters talking about something else), there's a Portal 2 musical, there is some Game of Thrones fan work titled Westeros, I don't remember how I learned about it but some group of people is working on an opera about Majora's Mask. I think there's a fanmade Pokemon theater thing but I might just be thinking about Pokemon Live. I have not listened to any of these but I have so much love in my heart that they exist.

Fan music in general is something worth so much. If it's original you have someone who cares about something enough to create lyrics and music and share it with the world and even parodies have the love put into finding something that matches the lyrics enough to fit in the original timing and sometimes people make new instrumentals to work with.

Anyway where the fuck is the Transformers fan music

#it didnt fit with the end line of 'transformers music pls' but i also have this huge amount of respect and awe for like #those massive fucking mod projects in the elder scrolls games #the tamriel rebuilt and other similar mod projects for morrowind making the entirety of tamriel #morroblivion that recreated morrowind in the oblivion engine and can be played right now #skywind and skyblivion the in-progress projects working to recreate morrowind and oblivion in skyrim's engine #skygerfall the mod that makes the main quest of daggerfall in skyrim #and most awe-inspiring of them all: beyond skyrim. a massive project collection working to make every single province in skyrim #all with new stories to fit in the period of skyrim and i think there will be voice acting #also VERY honorable mention to fan animatics that's good shit #especially fan animatics using musical songs with characters from a different piece of media #idw starscream candy store animatic my beloved #this is an open invitation send me your favorite fan projects i might not watch/listen/etc all of them but i will marvel at them and be joy #on the transformers point i know of like. two fan music things. this one almost 10 year old song that is technically nice #but i dont like the phrasing used for jazz and am petty upset over soundwave #and the transformers roll out album some people made together and that one has good music dont get me wrong #i just want more #being a minecraft and fnaf fangirl in the past fucking spoiled me im used to lots of music

it's the way harry's house is already becoming a comfort album for me, like the album i can play and it's like a sonic blanket, a soundscape i feel at home in, the album i can play when i'm home alone and want to dance around and be myself, the album i sing along to all the time, the album i can play in the car, the album i've cried to, the album that's going to colour this entire period of my life, the album that feels so personal and full of love that harry poured into making it, the album that really does feel like home for me right now, the album that i love more and more with each listen, i-
