Over a background showing misty trees on a mountainous landscape, white text reads “What I loved most was the soundscape. I could hear the water, the cabins, the forest and trees, the well. It was incredibly evocative. I could feel my feet ploughing up the mountain... I could hear the salmon farm tanks. There was so much water.”

A green pond with rocks and weeds growing in it. The scene moves quickly as in a time lapse. In white text, centered, “Macbeth.” Woods cloaked in a grey-green mist, and white text centered, “a captivating new audio production.” Zooming out from a stone castle with turrets and many soldiers marching below the walls. As the zoom continues, it’s clear the image is playing in the eye socket of a skull. The image becomes a crow on a branch with a full moon behind, there is one in each eye socket of the skull, which is now visible in its entirety. The eyes are consumed with a mystical green smoke, then the image settles into the Macbeth cover art, a skull with a red blood "crown" in the shape of a booming speaker, the word “Macbeth” over the skull.
