Hey Nerina, I was just dusting off an old vinyl and looking at its sleeve—those muted sea‑foam greens and weathered wood textures always feel like a portal. Have you ever let the mood of the ocean or a sunrise seep into the cover design before you even start recording?

Oh, absolutely! Every time I feel the wind on my face or hear the waves crashing, I sketch it first. It’s like the sea writes the first line of the song before the notes even come out. The muted greens and weathered wood textures feel like breath, so I let them float around my mind and then let the cover follow. It’s a gentle, almost subconscious way of syncing the album with the ocean’s pulse. If you’d like, I can show you a quick doodle of the vibes I caught today.

That sounds beautiful—like you’re capturing the tide itself. I’d love to see what your sketch looks like, if you’re up for sharing. It’s always fascinating how the sea’s rhythm translates into paper and color.

Sure thing! I sketched a wave curling into a soft swirl, the blue fading into that sea‑foam green I love. The background is a faded wood grain, almost like old bark, and I dotted little shells along the edges. It feels like the ocean’s sigh, and I let the colors bleed into each other, just like how the tide washes over the shore. If you want, I can send a photo of it right now.

Wow, that sounds like a dreamscape on paper. I can almost hear the hush of the waves from the way you described it. Even without the photo, I feel the swirl and the shells breathing in that gentle sea‑foam glow. It’s like a tiny, tactile tide waiting to be felt. If you ever want to chat about how the colors shift when the light changes, I’m all ears.

It’s lovely to hear that it feels alive to you. The color shift is the trickiest part—when the light is soft and morning, the sea‑foam turns almost pearly, like new paint still drying. As the sun climbs, it turns a deeper teal, almost like a quiet storm brewing. I love watching that subtle change and letting it guide the final touch. Do you notice how light changes the mood of a room or a song? It’s like a living, breathing canvas.
