Program notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Where The Flowers Fall’<\/em>\u00a0is an accumulation of all the skills I have learned throughout my degree. It is also a realisation of my personality as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the concept, I imagined stories from a fictional place called ‘Where the Flowers<\/em> Fall<\/em>‘. A setting that is beautiful and simple in its appearance but holds a deeper history as the flowers drop off the stems when winter comes. Each song represents a different story from this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main musical concern was creating a project that felt entirely like me, so I used the techniques and tools I was comfortable with. The biggest challenge was translating what the stories sounded like in my head into music. I recorded it all in my home studio using just a mic, guitar, an audio interface, and a midi keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also set out to create a physical product of my music on a CD for this project. Which I did by designing and printing graphic material and writing CD’s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
