I think I might make Scylla next. RL Grime gets me right in the feels.

[Worlds Project pt. Post Tour]

After seeing Porter at The Shrine, I felt like revising a few of my pieces based on the experience. Here's to the part where I lost my marbles - "Fresh Static Snow". All you guys that were there know exactly what I'm talking about >:)

"Worlds" by Porter Robinson

I realized through the course of the month making these, why this album means so much to me. It's not because of its innovation or execution; it's because of what it represents to me. It is an expression of my childhood and even an extension of my career now. Thank you, Porter, for evoking those feelings again and again.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. See you all at The Shrine on Saturday.

[Worlds Project pt. 12]

Porter Robinson - Goodbye To a World

At last our journey has come to an end. This is for sure my favorite track of the entire album. No matter what I tried, I couldn't do this cover justice. In the end, I stripped all of the excess gaudiness and left only the most important piece. It's a bittersweet goodbye.

Thank you everyone for the support. I had a ton of fun making all 12 tracks and can't wait to see Porter live at The Shrine this Saturday. Tomorrow I will be releasing the final piece - the Worlds cover art, as envisioned by me, along with a compilation post of all 12 tracks.

[Worlds Project pt. 11]

Porter Robinson - Fellow Feeling

This one did not come naturally. The jarring nature of the music had me swapping back and forth between serene and chaotic. In the end, this is the visual that came into my head. One more to go!

Planning on making all 12 tracks before I see him at the Shrine on September 13th. Thanks everyone for the support, and thanks Porter for the reblog!

[Worlds Project pt. 10]

Porter Robinson - Sea of Voices

When I made this piece, I sat there for 2 hours, somehow unable to produce it. And I will openly admit that the reason was cause I was wrought with emotion. It’s really hard to listen to this track on repeat and not feel your chest swell with nostalgia, longing, and hope.

[Worlds Project pt. 9]

Porter Robinson ft. Urban Cone - Lionhearted

At last, I reach the epic track that launched the Worlds album into stardom. I spent a meticulous 5 hours on this, the longest I've ever spent on any cover. My current play count with the song on repeat is 132. The Arty remix has another 50.

I'm also attaching the first version of the cover I made a few months ago when the track first premiered on BBC Radio 1. It was the inspiration that started this whole project. Hope you guys like both!

Natural Light grew on me as I listened to it over and over again. Can't wait to see what Porter does with it live!

[Worlds Project pt. 6]

Porter Robinson ft. Lemaitre - Polygon Dust

This was probably my hardest piece so far, but constant experimentation led me to try something a bit different.

Porter Robinson - Fresh Static Snow

Over the course of the day, I let the lyrics warp themselves in my head into what eventually became this. I had a ton of fun with it and hope you guys like it too.

[Worlds Project pt. 4]

Porter Robinson - Flicker

This one was hard for me to crack at first, but using the original art as a reference I was able to pull something out of my gut.

[Worlds Project pt. 3]

Porter Robinson ft. Breanne Duren & Sean Caskey - Years of War

This one was really interesting for me. I knew exactly what I wanted to make very early on, and I'm happy it turned out the way it did. I hope you all like it!
