Infographic: Fischerspooner - Emerge from Steve Myers on Vimeo.

The Infographic

The infographic will include as much information as I can possibly find through researching 'Emerge' which was first released in 2001.

A few examples of what will be included in the inforgraphic are BPM, chart position, use in the media ....etc

We Need a War Cover

One of the many covers

A Sneek Peak at the Infographic

Just a little screeny of the Infographic that I am working on.

Posters and Covers

So for the rest of my illustrations I am creating a series of simplified record covers inspired by the track which will then be displayed on a giant poster.

For this I will be using 'We Need a War' by Fischerspooner.

Music Choices

Well I was originally going to go for a Detroit based electronica band 'Adult' and use two of their tracks from the early 00's called 'New Object' and 'Your Lies' but, unfortunately I could not find enough information on either of the tracks as 'Adult' have more of a cult following as their music is a little obscure for mainstream culture.

So I decided to go with another favourite band of mine called 'Fischerspooner' and two of their tracks. They are from New York however, they are more popular overseas than they are in The U.S.A. and again they are an electronica band. Fischerspooner are made up of producer and musician Warren Fischer and openly gay performing artist Casey Spooner, they are also not mainstream however there is a lot more information available on them and the tracks that I have chosen.

The two tracks are;

'Emerge'
'We Need a War'

Good News!

I have come up with a possibly far greater idea for 'Visualising Music' and that is to create an Infographic with an animation to explain it.

Of course the infographic will be fully researched and all the information with in the infographic will be referenced and true (apart from some comedic elements).
