Narrowing Down & Audience

It's important that the songs I chose to have for this project work well together and evoke a similar emotion // intimate feel. All of these songs fit into a indie//lofi//ambient genre of music, and though they have differing properties, all of them were chosen because they provoke an emotional response within me. They're all very contemporary tracks too, listened to primarily by people around my age//students//people in their 20s. This isn't to say that the track artwork will be specifically aimed at this demographic, but it's clear to me who the kinds of people listening to this music would be. A few of the tracks are very niche and not known to general music consumers, rather those with an interest in independent and lofi music. Because of this I want the pieces themselves to feel a little raw around the edges and lofi but with a definite contemporary illustration point of view.

As discussed in my tutorial, I will chose six of these tracks to illustrate // work in response to, forming a collection and series at the end of it. Six tracks feels like a good number to do and will create enough material for a visual collection to be made.
