THE COVER: breakdown!
the album is "
numb3rs & alphab3ts"...it was designed from the get go with a specific theme and intention, to not only inspire, but EDUCATE! it takes the format of what academics would call a musical dissertation . if you pay particular attention to the layout of the tracklist, it is takes the form of....intro, to body (main arguments and review), to the conclusion (one specific line of argument supported and ran with)
if i draw your attention to the tracks themselves.....the album looks at some of the most important minds to have ever contributed to what we are indeed today...CIVILIZED, CONSCIOUS, INNOVATIVE HUMAN ENTITIES (i.e) the great mathematician FIBONACCI, the great linguist VENTRIS...to...in the album you learn that these men set themselves apart as creators, not plunderers, as innovators not fabricators, hence their ability to forge ahead of their profession and birth Gems that guide our every move today....
there is a section on the album where a debate breaks out, on whether man should live for himself or for others...the argument can thus be extended to the lives these great men lived, whether they would have achieved what they did if their reasoning was guided by servitude or self satisfaction...a debate to which a final conclusion is selected...thus the dissertation style and layout
.
with that said we thought, what better way to harness the theme than to have
the cover as a BOOK...
if u look at the front of the cover....it was created to resemble the
front of a book, a hard covered book...
if u look at the back of the cover.....it should resemble the last page of the book, but without the back cover, the back cover maybe is torn out or sumin....
but in essence thats what it is, it is, for lack of a better explanation
AN AUDIO BOOK
