Capstone Update #3

What I have accomplished so far

As of late, I have started working on the album a bit more, focusing my attention on the vocals. I
originally just sang a line multiple times till I had a take I thought was good. But now I’m carefully trying
to perfect each delivery the best I humanly can. Today in class we had to work on our Capstone. But
since I wasn’t able to do it, I instead wrote down my plans for the next 4 months since they may be the
busiest months I have of the whole year.

What I plan to accomplish by the end of the week

I hope to get more progress on the vocals for songs like “Whirl” and others. Or atleast get a good
advantage at most of the songs until I go full on creative mode in May. If I can get a couple of verses
figured out, then I will be satisfied. As of now, I don’t have a whole lot of experience with my vocal
ability. But if I’m lucky and by the end of the project, I can sing better to a certain degree, that will also
make me happy.

My needs (materials, time, space, mentor etc.)

Time. I need time alone, a space where the only noise that is made is from me in this room where my
stories can come to life. Although everything is so not expert level as I imagined it to be, I still finding
ways to make a DIY vibe with the art to work. I need maybe a whole month and a half by myself,
working. Not thinking about anything else around me. No distractions, no communication, nothing. Just
me, in a room, creating, working, to the point where I’m not even thinking about anything, just working.
Like I almost become numb to doing it and start creating like it’s the only thing I know how to do. I know
for a fact that if I had to time to create a whole album rollout with cool t shirts, hoodies, videos and
such, I would do all of that right now. But I don’t think I’ll have any time to do any of that before it’s
release. Maybe afterwards? (No that doesn’t make sense. Maybe only in video form.)

Challenges I encountered and how I have overcome them

I am aware of the challenges of doing this all by yourself. I know I’m throwing a lot on me, and I want to
do that. I want to show that I can do this much and still come out with a good piece of work. I also know
that walking around after everything is done is going to be very weird or maybe awkward, which
depends on the people listening to my work. I’ve decided that I’m not really going to think about
anything else but this album soon. And even when everything is completed, I’m going to move my focus
to the next thing.
