As I sat down to begin this assignment, I was listening to my Chill playlist (just a collection of relaxing, atmospheric tunes). I often use music as a form of emotional regulation, using it to encourage whatever emotion I want to experience. Or, as in this case, enhancing an emotion I\u2019m already experiencing. Before I even began looking for an image, I knew exactly what type of image I wanted. After struggling to come up with some keywords to describe my mood, I settled on the term \u201clo-fi\u201d. The first hit on Wikimedia Commons was Lofi Cyberpunk by David Revoy. That was it, that was my mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I knew I wanted to enhance the image. So, I needed to find a title that would add some depth. The \u201clo-fi\u201d term just wasn\u2019t giving the vibe I wanted. I thought about the image. Who is she? What type of world is she in? My mind settled on the movie Blade Runner<\/em>, a futuristic detective noir film from 1982 based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep<\/em> by Philip K. Dick. I needed some chill jazz vibes to enhance the image. Eventually, I settled on \u201cCool Vibes\u201d by Kevin MacLeod, a jazzy, laid back, atmospheric piece that helps to enhance the vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
