The concept for Sound of Time is a young woman at the piano in deep concentrated thought about her art. At her feet is a young man who is working studiously on composing his music. And to the left of these two is a young girl observing their creative hustle. McPartland drew inspiration from the relationship with time and growth, the creative sparks we see in older people when we are kids, and how through hard work, we can grow up to become the people we once idolized.

“I knew what colour scheme I wanted before the design: red, pink, black, and white. The black and white would relate to the ‘old’ themes, and the red and pink could fit nicely with the brick,” said McPartland. “As for subject matter, I was trying to think of something traditional, timeless, classic. When I thought of the word ‘classic,’ I thought of my mom who is a classical pianist. The piano is something that goes back centuries but still has the all the same relevance, if not more, today.”
