Album Art for The Land Behind

Earlier this year, I released my debut chiptune album, "The Land Behind." It consists of seven tracks made using Little Sound DJ, a homebrew music program for the Nintendo Game Boy. Some of the tracks on here began as snippets as far as six years ago, before I was even done with high school. Since then, I've moved away for university, and then further away for work. For me, this album came to embody massive nostalgia for a time and place where I wasn't so mortally stressed.

The photo on the cover is a view of the highway outside my childhood home in rural Arkansas. The treeline appears above a stark white border, giving the composition some depth. Massive white clouds are framed in the back. The land a sky are from separate images, but both are scans of my old 35mm photos from back home.

Everything is cast in monochrome blue and saved with a pattern dithering effect using Photoshop's legacy export tool, giving it a pixelated grain that speaks to the lo-fi nature of the music.
