Q: What influenced your chosen technical approach, and how did it go beyond past methods?
A: We chose animation to be able to seamlessly move throughout various stages of music production. And for the ability to include easter eggs nodding to the albums and artists throughout. The style was a bit loose, colorful, and energetic — very rock and roll.When did you experience a breakthrough or an "a-ha" moment during this project?
The original music track needed to flex and change to shift genres, instrumentation, and styles to nod to the referenced albums. The track was written for this express purpose and was performed and recorded live using many of the same instruments, setups, and playing styles of the artists, bands, or genres being referenced. The result is a musical joyride through eras and the music production process all rolled into one.
