App?
I’m considering an iPhone app to go with my next album The Good, the Bad and the Awkward.
Especially as it’s a cinematically inspired album, I think it might be nice to link up all the pieces to video excerpts from the films, words from the film-makers as to why they chose a particular composer’s work (living or dead!), opinions from reviewers about the use of music in the films, and my own words on the characters and my relationship to them, my admiration for them… and so on and so forth.
Embryonic idea as yet, and fraught with difficulties over intellectual property and copyright and so on… but I think it could be a really wonderful way to help people get inside this album. Hm.

if u overcome licensing issues, can make the app do what u invision & come up w/ something 1/2 as good as yr album title, it’d be worth it

Why not a dedicated website with just a short link in your album to it? (Would make it much easier to maintain…)

I think just having a good amount of liner notes is enough. Anything more generally borders on pretentious. o_o

If licensing turn into a nightmare, consider art or animation to evoke or enact the scenes you think of.
