If you could design an album...

libera36 · Post by **libera36** » 16 years ago

My brother and I were doing this for another musical group, and I decided to put the idea up here because I was having so much fun with it. If you could design a Libera album....

-What would it be called??
-What songs would it have on it??
-What would the album cover art look like??
-Who would the soloists be??

It doesn't have to be realistic at all. Not in the least. If you like, have Liam O'Kane sing a duet with Kavana on Prayer

I just wanted to see what other people came up with!! I'm not done designing mine yet, but its called "Libera - Air" and the cover art would be a picture of a plain (the barren, deserted land kind, not the kind that fly

) with birds flying in a cloudy sky. And it would be in black and white, sort of like the Visions cover.

Hmm...this is challenging!

* Title: Pax
* Art: a pair of outstretched hands releasing a dove, carrying an olive branch...in motion (so it looks all "whoosh", or whatever the term is

)
* Track list--a 'morning to evening, and back to morning' sort of idea (if that makes any sense!)...
1. Jubilate
2. Locus iste
3. Love and Mercy
4. Air
5. We Are the Lost
6. Ave Maria (the not-solo one)
7. Mother of God
8. Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
9. Luminosa
10. Recordare
11. Silent Night
12. You Are the New Day

...and that's all I have so far!

The next phone call you get will be EMI's marketing/creative director asking you if you'd like to 'join the team'

Right...

Its called Libera - Air, and the album art is a plain, with birds flying in a cloudy sky, in black and white. Kinda like the Visions cover. And I'd definitely buy that Christmas CD too! "Celibritas"

Fits the Libera style!

Not much good at the creative stuff?!?!

That IS creativity. Putting together a CD that would sound good and people would buy. And you have accomplished that. Therefore, you are fine at the creative stuff! I'm tossing around the idea of another one. I think it would be called "Memories"... Or maybe it would be "Libera - Looking Back" and have a history of their songs on it... Hmmm...

Why thank you, very kind of you to say but don't forget you came up with this idea in the first place. That, I cannot do

So, you are more creative than I.
