This was the result of my final project, an 8 song EP titled “555”
During the creation of this EP I faced many difficulties, the most prominent one being following an image and a story to allow the EP to feel like a full fleshed piece of work following the same guidelines, rather than it just been a collection of songs that have no purpose or meaning together. After researching many Albums and EP’s that I enjoy and like listening to, I’ve found that this is the most suitable and professional way to orchestrate an EP. The way that I got around this problem is drawing out a mental storyboard, of what each songs meaning would be and where it would fit in the almost “timeline” of the EP.
After creating and releasing the EP, looking back I realised I could have improved the production on some of the songs, primarily the older songs that I didn’t touch up upon. This is the case considering I have improved drastically from the time some of these tracks were created. Another thing I would have improved is the amount of publicity the EP got, along with other promotional techniques that I could have applied in order to gain more traction and exposure towards the project.
