Picture
Perfect
Picture Perfect all
started with the idea of optimism. It is a classic tale of an adventurer and
his journey to an untamed and foreign land. A person’s first time into any
endeavor has a special kind of optimism and nervousness that I feel does not
get replicated in later attempts. For this reason, I wanted to use audio pieces
from the United States’ initial journey to the moon. The quality of audio
recording in the 1960’s was much lower than in recent times, but this roughness
is necessary for authenticity. The backing music for the audio pieces is an
upbeat post-rock song composed using a three act structure like would be found
in any typical story.
There are some
that think that the mission to space was a hoax. This is represented by the
children pictured on the cover artwork. It may be that the moon landing was
nothing more than a cleverly demonstrated fair-tale. Still, the ideas that came
from it have inspired and will continue to inspire, as if it were the invention
of imagination during a child’s playtime.
I believe our journey to space is one of the most, if
not the most inspiring adventures of all human history.
