Figuring out concepts for each song, then narrowing down to a feasible number of tracks
Start fixing up lyrics and chord progressions, record demos for each song with realized sound characteristics (ex. kulintang samples)
Have definite produced tracks for the finalized amount of tracks for seamless recording sessions
Conducting final recordings for the produced tracks
Start finalizing the tracks by editing and mixing them in appropriate spaces
Making sure all tracks are polished by this time, and sequenced cohesively
Everything is packaged for presentation and possible release
It is important for me and people in my community to have points of view from young Filipino immigrants. We have a unique subset of sociocultural norms that aren't referenced within the diaspora. I hope to bring comfort and familiarity in that, as this project helps with my own homesickness.
Filipino immigrants around the ages of 15-30 years old.
I noticed a lack of media that represents people in my situation as a young Filipino immigrant, which took a while for me to realize that there's a huge number of us in the diaspora that are born and raised in the motherland. It's a project specifically meant for that micro-demographic in our community.
Most of my resources will be in-house, such as songwriting, arrangement, production, editing and mixing. I'll mostly outsource for a recording engineer, and possibly a bassist.
Refer to the Project Schedule.
Seeing the tight schedule for this project, the number of tracks will be at a minimum of 4 despite the initial goal of 6. Conceptualization and songwriting takes up a lot of time and energy, and are the most important building blocks of this project. I'll have to mostly work with purchased samples and public domain recordings, for both efficiency and to stick with a set of sounds that clearly define the EP.
At the moment, the project will be published on Soundcloud as soon as it is done. But it will still undergo some polishing (e.g. mastering) before an official Spotify release.
This project would have been successful if my peers in these spaces understand the message seamlessly. It would be evaluated in enjoyment, relatability, and shareability.
There's no income projected for the immediate future, as it is not a definite goal of the project. It will be determined later on when it is officially finalized.
First few weeks have passed and I have gotten into a writing flow. Unfortunately, my concepts are not as sharp as I need them to be. Taking more time to write and conceptualize.
Finally have 2 out of 4 songs for the EP with written concepts. I'm starting to write concrete lyrics and figuring out instrumentation for both. Planning on demos soon.
Finalized Track 3 for writing and composing. Gathering instrumentalists to record on the demo and allocating time in the near future for mixing.
Slight hiccup due to a lack of a drummer. Getting demos together while finding drummer substitute, and finalizing visuals for the EP. Possibility of only producing Track 3 demo for now.
