Is this an album cover?

Nope, that's just how my Nexus cropped it.

Interesting. What is this then?

My university hosts its graduation ceremony on the 'Plymouth Hoe'. I took a 360 panorama of the place and turned it into a 'tiny planet' on my phone. Like I said in the original post, I linked it to music because I was graduating in Music!

This is what the place looks like normally:

That's pretty hip!

What area of music are you specifically interested in (assuming you're specializing in a certain area)?

Edit: The more I look at that photo the more I'm fascinated. How did you get it to come out like that?

The first 2 years of my degree were just core music but I specialised in technology during my final year. I produce a lot of electronic music but I'm in loads of different projects such as Blues, Progressive/Post Rock, Ambient and Jazz.

The photo was pretty much done automatically by my phone, but I did some research and found out it's called Stereographic Projection. It starts off with a 360 panorama and then maps a sphere onto a plane. Here is a photoshop tutorial I found.

That sounds awesome. I'm a jazz major myself about in my last year of school. Where are you based out of?

I'll look into it, thanks.

Ah nice one man. I live in England in a pretty uneventful little market town put I'm planning to soon move to London or Manchester.

I imagine there's a bit more music in those towns instead.
