Hello! Welcome to my special project. This is my final year project for my BMus Music degree at the University of Sheffield. The aim of this project is to explore climate change through pop and electronic music production.
The objectives of my project are currently as follows:
Write and record an EP (approx. 4 songs) exploring climate change and the political issues surrounding it by combining classic popular music production with more unusual electroacoustic and electronic elements
Explore the themes of the EP through a modern take on tone painting, through utilising recorded sounds and production techniques that will link to the themes
Collaborate with other musicians to create a wide variety of high quality, interesting songs
Promote the EP through a blogs, playlists and other online means.
This project aims to be viable whatever the level of Covid-19 lockdown.
So far I've been working on planning the song structures and how I might explore my themes through different sounds. Here's an early screenshot of one song idea I'm working on about deforestation.
Next up I'm planning to finish drafts of all four of the songs before the end of the calendar year so I can get going with the recording process in the new year. Stay tuned for more updates!
