The rock cover shows a multitude of moods.  It seems to be designed intentionally.  The Echo Chambers cover is just lazy and odd.

The idea of Echo Chambers seems to be a human image degrades into a bunch of pixels as the viewer's eye moves left to right

Ashes to ashes, pixels to pixels.

My brain doesn't see them as being in the same space so I don't imagine them colliding.

My first thought was the same as yours, as in "Hey, that's a composite photo," followed by "Well, that's one way to get both artists on the cover," followed by "But it just looks like he's hitting the pianist."

I modified the cover art to hopwfully helping your brain to see them as being in the same space. I also turned the red color of BEETHOVEN into grayscale which makes the art more coherent to my eyes. Only the Decca logo has color in it.

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Why on earth would you want to "help" me to see the cover wrongly?

I think it looks better (I wasn't a fan of the red "Beethoven"), but to me it still looks look cello guy is taking a swing at piano guy.

You are correct. My skills are not up to such task.  ???

The cellist is plugging him into the matrix. Two minutes from now he'll be able to record Beethoven.

But he does look remorseful for the action that he is about to take. >:D

Not just you.

It's crying out for a samurai sword edit.

Those are some of my favorite covers; I love the paintings.
