I've completed a concept drawing to accompany the story behind Leitmotif.
Leitmotif:
Meaning:
Movement I: (seek)
The antagonist in the story learns of his moral disease while asleep, so the first movement takes place in the mind, leading to the departure to the underwater city of Natoma to Kayasuma's temple.
Movement II: (patience)
Takes place in the upper left chamber of the heart and represents the meditative state achieved, realizing "patience is the key" as the spirit of yuta melts the arctic cold revealing a set of stairs.
Movement III: (wonder)
Two hearts are shown transferring electrical current. This depicts the "heart-to-heart" moment shared between the traveler and the inhabitants of the city of Koele. The traveler learned "wonder is the key" and love and appreciation is the crux of their culture, which "binds their heart with appreciation".
Movement IV: (question)
The mountain and leaf atop represent the journey to the city of Barea in search of Yatahaze. The travelers questioning reveals that Yatahaze is not a man, but a tree, "its leaves drop the answers in which I think - The fruit holds the answer, your nature is your own self-discipline."
Movement V: (discipline)
Since the "fruit of knowledge" wasn't named I chose a pomegranate. The 90 hour sleep experienced after consuming the fruit is the revelation that the traveler has been educated through epistemology, the study of the nature of knowledge, and cured of his moral disease via his self-discipline.
The overall purpose of the journey was for the traveler to "build up" his heart and cure himself from a moral disease. So the journey starts in the mind and progresses through each heart chamber.
I already posted this in the Tour section since I had it signed during an in-store appearance, but this is where it belongs along with the meaning behind it. I plan to make a concept piece for each album and eventually I would like to have them all signed and framed, very wishful thinking on my part. Thanks to everyone who's posted their artwork. All creations have been unique, creative, and definitely inspiring.
