The only post processing was a couple of overall audio adjustments for loudness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>originally every song was supposed to be prepended with a Step number. Step 1 : Visualize,  Step 2 : take stock, et cetera.  But! The music stores don&#8217;t like that, so they don&#8217;t let you. So I had to compromise my artistic vision to conform to their rules. Wah!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cover art was generated in Processing, and further edited using Pixelmator Pro.  I generated some other images that were nice, but this one was the winner.
