Project synopsis:

Our group consists of Myself, Jaycee and Darcy. Our aim for this project is to create a 3 track lofi/hip hop EP, with the tracks being intrumental pieces made to help someone relax, chill out, and take a break. Something that inspired the idea for this project is the lofi hip hop beats to study to page on youtube, we are going for a similar vibe to that, some chill instrumentals for someone to relax to.

Project deliverables:

The final versions of our beats we made are in the compositions folder in the google folder.

Music Compositions:

Ramen

Ramen is the first chapter of our 3 track EP. Ramen is a calming track containing elements of guitar, piano and harp over a nice lofi drum beat. This track serves as a relaxing introduction to the couch food experience and brings the listener down to the wavelength needed to fully enjoy the EP.

Nachos - Justin Norment

Nachos is a chill but rythmic composition that incorporates elements of drums, percussion, vocals, piano, and guitar to make a beautiful piece of music to relax to. It is the middle track in the 3 track EP that we made.

Chicken Soup - Joshua Cook:

Chicken Soup is a very melodic and beautiful piece that is used as the finisher for the Couch Food EP, Using beautiful Pianos, Strings and Vocals to capture the feeling of a cold rainy day with a nice warm bowl of chicken.

Pre-Production planning:

First we got the ideas down for what our project will be.
We then figured out what we will need to do and deligated tasks to do amongst our group members
We decided that we'll make one track each for the EP and we will record guitar and vocals into the beats
We researched main components and instruments of Lofi music
We found references of Lofi beats and marked what we liked about them

We set studio days to come in together and work on the project

Production

We got in the studios to record guitar into the beats we made
We got all the guitar recording done in 2 studio sessions
Justin brought his guitar to the studios and we hired out a microphone to record it
Justin and Jaycee both got vocalists to record vocals for their beats in their home studios

We prepared our own tracks before heading into the studios for some feedback from each other
We did a slight mix before coming into the studios
We mixed all 3 tracks in the Mastering suite at SAE, we were all in at the sessions giving feedback and helping each other
We mastered them all together in the Mastering suite as well
