First Steps - Visual Concepts

Pixel's Perspective

Album Artwork Concept

  • Central Image: A humanoid figure composed of both digital elements (circuit patterns, binary code) and organic forms (muscle fibers, nerves)

  • Background: A gradient from deep blue (digital realm) to warm orange (physical world)

  • Texture: Incorporate a subtle glitch effect across the entire image

  • Typography: Use a font that blends geometric and organic shapes for the title "First Steps"

Music Video Storyboard

  1. Opening Scene: Swirling particles of light coalescing into a vaguely humanoid shape

  2. Transformation Sequence: The figure's form oscillates between clearly digital (wireframe, voxels) and organic (muscles, skin)

  3. First Movement: Close-up of eyes opening, revealing irises with circuit-like patterns

  4. Environment: The background shifts from a grid-like digital space to a more natural setting

  5. Interaction: The figure reaches out to touch objects, causing ripples of code to emanate from the points of contact

  6. Climax: A dance-like sequence where the figure moves with increasing confidence and fluidity

  7. Final Scene: The figure stands at a threshold, with the digital world behind and a physical landscape ahead

Live Performance Visuals

  • Projection Mapping: Use the band's virtual bodies as canvases for projected textures that shift between digital and organic

  • Interactive Elements: Create visual ripples or particle effects that respond to the music's intensity and rhythm

  • Backdrop: A large screen displaying a journey from a purely digital environment to a blend of virtual and physical worlds

  • Lighting: Synchronize stage lights with the music, using cool blues for digital sections and warm oranges for more "human" moments

AR Experience Concept

  • Users can spawn a miniature version of the "First Steps" character in their environment

  • The character evolves as the song progresses, becoming more defined and "real"

  • Interactive elements allow users to help the character learn to move and interact with the real world

  • Culminates in a shared experience where users' characters can interact with each other in a mixed reality space
