Program notes
Essentially, I want to deliver a product to the world. My product is an EP. The goal is to deliver this product to an audience that can help them formulate their identity and emotions through my music. Aspiring myself in creativity, I tap into my electronic producing techniques, my singing/songwriting abilities and tie them with strong music theories. I want to paint a unique vision into the mind of my listeners to notice these techniques aurally. All through my life, I’ve learnt that things can be predictable; next thing you know, unexpected things happen. You sometimes slide away from it all. You hit rock bottom, and it sucks. I’ve learnt that good things do happen, and you do find your way back up again, but for me, it’s like a pattern or a cycle. 3 of the 5 tracks will be performed in the following order: ”Nothing to Lose”, ”Wanna Know” and ”Falling Down”.
