music meet art / east meets west

A fascinating hybrid of electro J-Pop and classical cello, the Stereo Art project is still in its early phase, but thanks to many live performances, the word is spreading!

As the idea is to combine music & art, I was commissioned to put together a clean but ’scribbled’ style Flash website to show off the music and display live news. The end result is a scruffy but-not-too-shabby gallery and news reader all wrapped round a live music streamer. You can check it out here.

The design process was refreshingly quick with this project…After five minutes of sketch ideas, Producer Pop lifts up the most basic looking sketch and finalised,

Less is more! … Complete!

and so within a short space of sketching (and a few months of actionscript coding!) the site was launched and began picking up popularity. If you want to check out the Western J-Pop sounds, see it here!
