On the cassette below, I present the four songs, and the creative process I undertook while making said songs, each with both an English and a Norwegian version. By clicking the title name you will be brought to the song. The sound clips that are presented at the top of the pages are bounces of freestyles made during the creation phase. Although at times they might be incoherent, these clips are still relevant to my research, as they show the early stages of song creation where I often start finding the flow for each song.
As my research is centred around my lyrics, I will provide two bounces of the finished songs: one without drums, allowing the listener to more easily hear and interpret the lyrics, and one containing all elements of the song, so the listener can get the full picture of the song.
During each phase, I have been journaling my thoughts, process, and other relevant observations, using them as a guiding hand when writing the in-depth description of the creative process I took when creating the songs. Because of this, these descriptions can at times be written in a spoken and informal tone. However, I feel this paints a more personal and clearer picture, since this research is shedding light on my personal artistic and creative process.
