Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Myd - When pastel visuals and live show pranksterism collide
Q: What was the idea behind the Dubai shoot and the anti-all-inclusive concept?
The Dubai shoot aimed to capture a raw, aggressive side of holidays, contrasting the previous all-inclusive imagery and reflecting a critical view of opulence and spectacle.
Myd - When pastel visuals and live show pranksterism collide
Q: Can you describe the philosophy behind your live show and how it connects to your studio work?
The live show is an extension of the studio, filmed with multiple cameras, featuring the video operator on stage, with the audience invited to film themselves as part of the performance, keeping the focus on music and visuals rather than decor.
Myd - When pastel visuals and live show pranksterism collide
Q: When did you first see the link between design and music?
It started as a sensation during youth, with visuals shaping how people discover artists before or alongside music, as seen in iconic music videos and the broader visual culture of the era.
George Clarke - Designing Deafheaven's visual legacy
Q: George, thank you so much for joining us here on What Music Looks Like. Is there a particular album cover or artwork that has inspired you over the years?
Yes, there are tons, with a mix of classic impactful ones like Slayer and Sigur Rós, but also minimal, typography-forward designs that influenced me early on. The idea was to balance the grotesque nature of metal with clean design, and then lean into Nick Steinhardt's strengths in typography to craft something unique.
Jacob Bannon - Shaping visuals for Converge and beyond
Q: What role does collaboration play in creating Converge's visuals and Deathwish's branding?
He emphasizes the importance of collaborating with other artists to bring fresh interpretations, noting that visuals are often a collaborative process and that he values the energy different artists bring to the work.
