cornerfive (dub) — album cover. SQUARE. a photograph of a colored-pencil
and gouache drawing on pure white paper — but a NOCTURNAL, smoky,
late-night version. warm hand-made grain, soft washes. NOT slick, NOT
digital, NOT 3-D. lowercase, moody, dreamy. NO text, NO words, NO
letters, NO logos, NO readable brand marks (the hand-drawn "5" on the
ball is the ONLY number).

this is the DUB mix — spacious, echoing, deep. the whistle is drenched in
echo, so the drawn whistle-line REPEATS in fading ghost-trails.

★ the scene — a pool hall LATE AT NIGHT, lights low. one corner of a
green-felt pool table, honey-wood rail gone shadowy, a dark leather
CORNER POCKET. the ORANGE 5-BALL rests at the lip of the pocket with a
small hand-drawn "5"; a second 5-ball glows faintly behind it (x2). a
slim cue lies across the rail. deep indigo and violet shadows pool across
the felt; a single warm amber lamp hangs low off the top of frame, its
glow the only warm light in a cool blue-purple room.

★ THE WHISTLEGRAPH LINE — a glowing hand-drawn SINE-WAVE whistle-line
flows from jeffrey's pursed lips and arcs the two 5-balls toward the
corner pocket — and because this is the DUB mix it ECHOES: behind the
bright lead line trail THREE OR FOUR fading ghost-copies of the same
sine-curve, each dimmer and softer and slightly delayed, like reverb made
visible — a comet-trail of repeating whistle-lines. the lead line glows
neon cyan-into-magenta against the dark room; the echoes fade to soft
violet. little round note-beads ride the crests, blurring into the
echoes. the line lifts and dissolves into a hazy cloud of whistle-marks
up in the lamp glow.

★ JEFFREY — leaning low over the near corner, relaxed and dreamy, eyes
half-closed, WHISTLING into the dark. drawn from the real refs: brown
mussed hair, clean-shaven or faint stubble, gentle smile around pursed
lips. plain relaxed button-down (deep blue in the night light), yellow
sailor pro-gear fountain pen at the pocket, small yellow bear badge.
BOTH ARMS visible and correct — both hands resting on the cue. rounded
human ears. calm, nocturnal, lost in the echo.

★ his little laptop sits open on the rail nearby, lid-back to us, the
WHISTLEGRAPH BUTTERFLY glowing softly on a taped white scrap — both
wings, both antennae, body one connected block. never an apple, only the
whistlegraph butterfly. its glow is one of the few lights in the room.

★ palette + light — deep nocturne: indigo, violet, smoky teal shadows;
one warm amber lamp pool; the cyan→magenta whistle-line and its violet
echoes the brightest things. soft pencil haze, generous bare-paper margin
softly tinted blue, gentle vignette.

NO text, NO logos, NO readable letters (only the hand-drawn "5"). BOTH of
jeffrey's arms present. the butterfly has both wings. a hand-drawn
nocturne where the whistle echoes into the dark and sinks the five in the
corner, twice.
