Coastal Recording Studio and Album Design 

My client is a small music band of three, who currently reside in the inner-city suburbs of Melbourne, however, grew up in the rural areas of Victoria where their passions for music were sparked. The group have struggled to produce new music since 2020, due to the pandemic, lockdowns, and a general lack of inspiration in the city environment. The period spent stuck indoors has allowed the group to reflect, and each of them concluded that moving back to their childhood town may be the perfect remedy for their lack of motivation and creative block. The issue with moving home is the lack of resources in the remote community, specifically the non-existent recording studio. Therefore, the trio for seek or require the services of a designer to design a space for them to not only live in, but to also have the facilities to record music whilst they are in their hometown. The main of goal of this new recording facility will be for the trio to write and record a comeback album, meaning that they also seek the design of album art to be used for their newest release.

The band requires a new recording studio is built on their property in their remote coastal town. A living space will also be required as there is currently no house on the property, meaning part of the build will need to be dedicated to sleeping quarters, amenities and other desired elements.

The trio have requested the design of the studio to create a space for their new album. Therefore, the band also needs the cover art to be designed for the album. This includes helping them during the process of deciding on the title of their new album.
