The Obelisk by Janis Lago

original description:

"The cover art is the genesis of the record. Designed entirely in LaTeX (with the help of PGF/TikZ among other useful packages) on my recently-acquired ThinkPad T480, it is a digital artifact or compendium thereof, or perhaps even a compendium of compendia, a datum of data: it is the Latin plural transferred into English as one of the "learned" variety, a language not designed for design used nonetheless to design. I suck at code in the classic sense of programming, but I'm a fair shot at visual art, so I develop designs from time to time now. I'm trying to typeset a book I'm writing with Octa in addition to actually writing it. One is behind the other, and both are probably going to take a full decade to complete, but it's fine since I'm not working alone. Thanks Octa.

I made the music the next day. It only takes up four DAW tracks. I will let it speak for itself."
