Flatspace Canvases

Another full day of music admin, how overwhelming it seems! Yet I know I'm charging though things. Today, completed 11 Spotify Canvases for the new Flatspace album. These are simple loops, a mix of slow fades which used the album art effectively, and some simulations of the intro tunnel, which works well for The Spiral Staircase tracks. I wanted to unify things with the album art, although the Snow track is more generic, a fall of snow which is similar in operation to Bleak Forest from Heart Of Snow.

Last night I updated my online albums to first person (a change back, this has pros and cons, I rather prefer first person).

I needed to make a change to Argus for the canvases, a feature to control the lens flare intensity, so I added this and have updated Argus too. I'm charging though these albums at pace, though it remains a multi-year project.

Time is pressing and I feel a sense of constant pressure, constant frenetic energy. I must make some visual art soon, I need to paint a new series... this I must do in June. I also need to write the Bruce Springsteen song.

Onwards I run.
