The way I wanted to do this was through condensing the key moments\/movements (opening, body, finale\/outro) of a set list into 3 songs and by having all of these songs played and recorded with a live band in order to capture the authenticity of a performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">My band members are; Ashton (Drums), Zach (Bass), Max (Guitar) and Oliver (Synth\/Piano). Within my major project I brought foundational composition but allowed each band member to add their own style to it. I believe this collaboration to be an important factor in allowing authenticity to breathe and have its own place within my major project.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uowcreative.com\/outro\/artists\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Return to Artists Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gerard Smith Gerard is a musician from the Sydney region who aspires to be impactful and evocative to all the listeners he plays to.
