I collaborated with Cape Town composer and beat-maker, Maike Watson aka Lil Miss Beats.
I designed and illustrated the cover artwork while Maike composed the song.
The figure was loosely based on Maike herself, and the décor was some of Maike’s own collection. You’ll see her parrotlet Bae and a Cape turtle dove. The turtle dove’s sound was super nostalgic for me so we used that as a jumping-off point for the beat.
It was a great experience working alongside Maike and learning more about the creative process for musicians. Maike intuitively pairs her classical training with an experimental approach and that makes her work both gratifying and unexpected.
