Beyond From Within - Psychedelic Band website — Beyond From Within – Psychedelic Band website

Steve Andrews’ band, Beyond From Within, had a website that had been online a few years. It wasn’t mobile friendly, and didn’t have the flexibility that they wished for, as they grow their fan base.

This redesigned website was built to showcase the band’s music and videos, and to share the ever-growing number of reviews and other press that they’ve been receiving.

I added a custom music player, so listeners can preview the band’s eponymous album, “Beyond From Within.”

The color scheme and graphics were carefully chosen to convey that vintage psychedelic aesthetic – and to coordinate with the band’s album cover.

Steve wanted lots of movement and asked for images that would replicate a 1960s-style liquid lightshow. This was added in the header of all pages, and in the sidebar on selected pages.

Poet, playwright and novelist Michael McClure and the late Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for The Doors, met at The Doors’ third recording session.

Their spoken work / jazz collaboration spanned thirty years. During that time they performed together throughout the United States, and released several CDs and a DVDs.

I took charge of their website over 13 years ago. During that time, the site has had several different incarnations. In 2014 we unveiled a radical new design, which you can see here.

This site neatly organizes information about Michael and Ray individually, as well as their collaborations. It also includes writings by some friends, and features a mailing list so that visitors can be notified of upcoming events, as well as additions to the website.
