Artwork: with the exception of the front and back covers, the images in the booklet were organically created by coffee. Most of the images began as photos of the dried residue from espresso, and some from cappuccino. They were then altered in hue or colour fill, saturation, contrast etc. A couple were images that spontaneously emerged from the crema on top of an espresso. This was a process taking several years of keen observation and strategic photography of anything potentially interesting that occurred inside a coffee cup. And then many hours of experimentation and fine-tuning using GIMP.

No ‘AI’ was involved in any of the music on the album or art images in the CD package.

Some trivia

I know Steve Howe has a song called ‘Don’t Take No for an Answer’. My song of the same name was written way back in the 1990s, so it very likely pre-dates his by a large margin. (and, as it’s a common phrase, I’m sure there are many songs that use it)
