Hi everyone! For those who don’t know me, my name is Donna, and today I will be talking about my thesis project and the process behind it. My thesis project is to release a mixtape.
Why am I making a mixtape instead of an album?
I believe that in an album, there needs to be a common thread or common theme behind it, but I wanted to create different types of music with different messages behind them. Also, an album needs to have at least six tracks or longer than 25 minutes, and honestly, with the time I have, I don’t believe I can create that many tracks. Mixtape has more flexibility behind the concept and I can adjust to my commendation. Therefore I am making a mixtape.
What will my mixtape contain?
I was thinking of creating 4 different songs. 2 of the songs will be related to current event issues that are happening around the world. I will have 1 song about someone who inspires me and 1 song that is personal.
How is my mixtape coming along?/How is the progress?
Honestly, I am in a dilemma where I want to start writing and composing these songs, but I haven’t at the moment. Schoolwork has been compiling on me and it is that time of year when all your classes are getting aligned. I feel like all my classes are giving me an overload of work and I am not giving enough time to work on my thesis project. I started to write each topic on a piece of paper and started jotting down words related to that subject. I thought that this will help me when trying to write lyrics down. Whenever a melody randomly comes to my head usually I would record it so I have a few ideas of each song that will sound like. Also if there is a word that catches my eye, I would write down in my notes for future reference. I should be in progress with at least one song in the next upcoming week/s.
What do I want to achieve with my thesis project?
There are a few things I want to achieve with this. I wanted to create something that was meaningful to me and that can be inspiring towards others so I decided to make a mixtape. What better way to impact someone’s life by music. I also want to prove myself through this project that I am more than capable enough to produce music;I just need the guts/confidence to get through to this. This project is the perfect way for me to test my limits and motivate me to do something I wanted to do for a while now.
