One of my oldest (although he’s still quite young) and dearest pals, Geoffrey Notkin and I play a game. One of us develops a theme and then we both share a bespoke Apple Music playlist based on that theme. After a couple rounds, we realized that we could create custom cover art for each playlist. And both of us are creative generalists (Writers, directors, musicians, designers, artists) so, of course, we added that to the game. Here are a bunch of custom covers from my collection, with more to be added as they materialize. So check back. And if you would like to hear any of the playlists, and you have Apple Music, click on the art below and you will be transported to each one.
Songs to fuel expansive endeavors.Songs inspired by creaturesSongs about the brain, mind, chemistry, and intellect.Songs for an epic road trip or adventure
The things that offer meaning.Songs about places, real or imaginary.Maiden, mother, huntress, sage, mystic, queen, lover.Songs with a name of a person — real or imagined — in the title.
Songs that take place above the earth.“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these musicologists from the swift completion of their appointed compilations”Songs containing references of a stimulating natureSongs about conflict, battles, sorties and the like.
