To give this project structure, and to demonstrate the creative process, I've decided to do a "topical" or "themed" project. I want to be able to capture the point when inspiration fails and the discipline of songwriting comes in. I read recently something to the effect of "if I do something willingly, then I have a reward, but if I do it against my will, then I have become a steward." Its better be be a steward, a master of your craft than just a participant in it. Both are good, but mastery is better.
So the topic I have chosen is that of the Prodigal Son. There is enough content there to make a diverse project, require different styles and approaches, and allow for depth of emotion and content. At this time I am planning on the following for an "outline".
- @home
- Journey of Expectation
- This is the Life - Club Mix
- Scraping
- Longings
- Blowout
- Mine
- Blowout (redux)
Fair warning, I'm heavily under the influence of Moby, Cut Chemist, Bassnectar, and Violet Burning right now. Expecting some Drum 'n Bass mixed with Rock 'n Roll. Ready for the ride?
