Four music makers. One graphic designer. Five weeks.
This is the High Noon Artist Pact, a collaboration of five different artists with one common goal: to create, finish, and release one new piece of art each week for five consecutive weeks. For the musicians, this means one completed and mixed-down track; for the graphic designer, an original piece of cover art for the release, as well as individual covers for the musicians, is required. The pact is a creative pressure cooker, both a test of their current abilities and a unique way to hone their skills. At the start of each week, the participants are given an inspirational word to base their project around; the rest is completely up to them.
While the standards of the pact make this an expert level challenge, High Noon has no minimum entry requirement. The focus here is on open-ended creation, a reminder not to over-think things. Practice makes perfect, as they say. 
This round of the HNAP finished up last week and we’ve been blown away by some of the projects it contains. Read on to meet the participants and get a feel for their individual styles!
