Objective

Most albums that begin as a personal deadline never reach a track listing. This one has twelve finished masters, a cover, a logotype and a site to put them on.

Doing it alongside a full-time job means the constraint is never the ambition. It is whether the thing gets finished at all.

Creative response

Written, recorded and produced with friends, and designed, branded and published solo.

What exists

• Twelve tracks. Autumn · Scandal · Morality · Machination · Democracy · Bridges · Formula · Vision · Evolution · Humanity · Memoriam · Sentiment
• Album artwork. A nebula field with a triangular geometric overlay
• A logotype and button set, worked up across several variants
• A website, with its own background and asset set
• The InDesign source, so the artwork survives as an editable document rather than only as a flattened image

The reason it is on this wall

The track titles are not incidental: Morality, Democracy, Machination, Evolution, Humanity. It is a record with a subject, and the same person who now builds political and economic risk engines wrote it a decade earlier.

It also demonstrates the full stack in one object: the music, the sleeve, the identity and the site, all by the same hand. That is the argument the rest of this wall makes across a hundred and forty clients.
