Pete de Freitas of Echo and the Bunnymen died on 14th June 1989. This composition focuses on the song - ‘The Killing Moon’. The number 27 is not only the age De Freitas died but also the number of days in a moon’s cycle, which is represented within the composition in a circular pattern; the sporadic orange circles correspond to the position of the moon on the day he died. This piece utilises both physical and digital processes; the relationship between the two is a visualisation of the band’s genre - Post Punk - encompassing the DIY punk aesthetic and more contemporary design.
The orange and blue colour palette serves as a visualisation of night and day while the white handwritten type shines through on top of the gloomy moonscape background.
