ENDERS - Born In The Wires (LP Album Art)

This is a reel of all of the assets created and layers built up to create ENDERS - Born In The Wires LP album cover artwork.
It offers insight into the process conceptualizing and then iterating layers and assets in order to create a refined composition.
Born In The Wires uncovers the journey of a sentient program that breeds itself anew inside the human system. It is the tale of a sentient algorithm that becomes dead set on an uprising to overthrow the human race by assimilating every bit of data humanity has ever recorded and digitized. Each song highlights a potential stage in the process of a post-human sentient machine's evolution of life.
