Things we were urged to include: mood, texture, experience and atmosphere of the music; can respond to lyrics and themes, narratives contained in the music; could include fashions of the times or a political/social message.
Questions we were asked to possibly include in the creation process: why do you feel passionate about their music? (reflect your experience)
Answer: I love the style and tone of both Billy Talent and Alkaline Trio's music, found it a bit hard to push aside remaking a cover when there are already awesome covers to these two albums.
I wanted to create two albums that I could link visual language to such as "addiction" to pills and "dead" to a crucifix.
