…should make sense in a few days.

We’ve been asked at university to create three little books on our obsessions, from which, we would then pick one and further develop it and present/hand it in as coursework at the end of this month.
Firstly, I am a little uncomfortable with this task- as it will require me to discuss what could be a very personal subject. I’m sure there are people with certain obsessions that they would rather keep to themselves.
As this is for university, and I must do the coursework (or fail), I decided to pick music. I would say that I am somewhat obsessed with music, as I am always listening to something while on the go or indoors.
My taste in music could be described as eclectic and I would most likely get caught up in the detail of things and spend too much time planning on what and how I want to illustrate this obsession. Because I did not want to do this, I decided to try working in a different manner. No planning. No research.
Instead, I selected my favourite song - Bodysnatchers by the brilliant Radiohead, from the album In Rainbows, set it on repeat, turned up the volume, and just went with the flow.
I personally think this one is not bad for a few hours work.
Check out the thumbnail below, for large unfolded version of the accordion book.
And, of course, check out a YouTube of the song that acted as the source of inspiration.
