Description
Summary:<p>This concept album is a recording of compositions which consists of stories with a</p><p>specific theme, various genres and styles that connect one song to another. The main</p><p>aim of the research is to organise, revise and orchestrate a collection of her existing</p><p>songs, and write new songs which fit the idea to be put into a concept album. In this</p><p>research, the concept album title, Summer Dreams, contains ten songs, and they are</p><p>inspired by a man. The researcher places Love as the subject and life experiences as</p><p>starting points in the creation of this concept album and utilised practice-led, practicebased</p><p>and autoethnography as the methodologies of the creative process in this</p><p>research. The challenges faced in the production of this concept album was to preserve</p><p>the quality of each song that was created in the process of recording and post-production</p><p>and, at the same time, ensure the connectivity of each song in it. The creation of this</p><p>concept album details the process of constructing using software such as Sibelius, Logic</p><p>Pro X, Word, and Pro Tools and produces the analysis of how each song is connected</p><p>in terms of its emotion and theme. Besides, the intention to share the sentiments from</p><p>a psychological approach is to allow people to grief when facing a similar situation</p><p>because it is the process of being reborn. Assuredly, the researcher shares new</p><p>knowledge in her compositional process by producing unique sounds using synthesisers</p><p>and soundscapes. Next, in lyric creation techniques, she demonstrates that there can be</p><p>less or no repetition in a song, to depict that composing is boundless.</p>
