My name is Clementine McCoy and for my project, I created an EP. I used guitar, bass, synth, and drums to experiment with different recording and mixing techniques surrounding the drums. My goal was to create two non-traditional songs that would enable me to get as creative as I wanted with the drums and mixing. I had a lot of inspiration going into this project and I tried to combine my favorite parts of my favorite artist's work.
I chose this project because I love music and think it’s important to have a well-rounded knowledge of many different genres and methods. I have always been interested in music and am always looking for opportunities to create. While I have a lot of experience playing in bands and collaborating in groups, I don’t have very much solo experience. Typically, my songwriting process is very collaborative and the only thing that I have to focus on is the drums. For this project, I wanted to gain more experience as a solo artist across multiple instruments. While I often write songs on acoustic guitar, I rarely record full original songs by myself. For this project, I wanted to find my sound and independence as an artist.
