To coincide with the launch of Patrick Watson‘s latest album, Adventures in Your Own Backyard, I recently revamped his website with production and dev by Ombilicus Mundi. I’ve always been greatly inspired by Watson’s cinematic music, and the goal of this design was simple; showcase the music and get out of the way. We did just that, devising a docking content column that sits on top of full-screen videos, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the experience.

On the homepage, floating navigation links to the featured videos.

A beautiful featurette documents a “Backyard Adventure” in Rouyn-Noranda.

The stripped-down content is laid out clearly and simply in the content-dock, allowing visitors to browse through the information while the videos play in the background.

I’m incredibly pleased to help launch this album. It’s a beautiful addition to Patrick Watson’s impressive body of work. We’ll be adding more content soon, so be sure to check it out…
