I turned 28 on the 13th, and this is the birthday NYP release of the year.
Since this is a birthday release, I wanted to incorporate the number 8 or 28 into the artwork. The output became quite simple, but the way the lines overlap three-dimensionally made it much more difficult to achieve than it looks.
After creating the artwork, I was looking through my vault to see if any tune would match the theme of this artwork, and the tune popped up.
I thought that the swaying bass and the glitchy soundscape totally matched the artwork, and the skewed look of the character "8", so I named my tune eight as well. I like how Mathcore bands and HexD artists have unreadable track names, so I made it unreadable as well. (It's supposed to be read as "eight" by the way.)
