Recording Arts I | Made In the Stu

This student album was created during my 2022 Spring Semester. This was the first ever Recording Arts class here at Regis and it was amazing to be apart of! This album consists of twelve tracks with a majority of them being original tracks. Each track was produced and directed by a student within the class, with the others helping out in anyway they can.

My Track

6. "Destiny"

In this student album, my track is track number 6, Destiny. This song was inspired by my love of animated TV shows and Japanese Anime. This song was designed to be an opening to an Anime or TV Show, containing various tempos and rhythms and joyful upbeat lyrics.

Recording Arts II | DISSARRAY

The first volume of the Recording Arts II class released on Fall 2022. This was the first album to be released by the Recording Arts II class. This album contained up to two songs from each producer within the class.

My Tracks

5. "On My Own" & 8. "Sky Is The Limit"

The fifth track, "Own My Own" is an original composition where it follows in a Pop-Punk genre. This song features an addictive bassline that follows with a steady tempo. The lyrics talk about an individual going through a breakup, where they soon feel that they are ready to do things on their own, and so they tell their ex to "watch me do it on my own." No longer needed them to make them feel happy or good.

 

The eighth track on the album, is "Sky Is The Limit" a song originally by Mark Ambor. I wanted to understand more to the process of production so I thought creating a cover song would be best to challenge myself in terms of theory and aural skills. The song is a simple rendition featuring vocals, guitar and piano with many effects added to the instruments and voice.

Recording Arts III | April

The first album for the Recording Arts III class. This album was produced in Spring 2023 with each student in the class producing three songs for this album, as well as a class song included at the end. 

My Tracks

4. "I Love You" 5. "I Loved You" 6. "Happy On My Own"

This album features three of my original tracks, as well as my work on the class song on the last track. Each of these songs are ideas that will be added to my first album project, "A Lonely Love Story." This concept album follows a love story where it starts with the initial meeting, to falling in love, the break-up, the sorrow, to moving on. You can also find all of these tracks on the homepage here on the website!

Track 4 titled "I Love You" represents the falling in love phase. This song takes a dance-pop approach to repetitive lyrics to give off the joyful feeling of being in love. With repetitive lyrics such as 'I Love You," the song gets its point across. So what are you gonna do when I tell you that I love you?

Track 5 is titled "I Loved You" contrasting the previous song listened to. This song takes more of a pop-ballad style, following artists such as Sam Smith and Adele. This song is the heartbreak song of the album and talks about that sorrow of feeling alone. All this love I had for you gone and wasted as you no longer love me. So what am I to do now?

Track 6 answers this question as it is titled, "Happy On My Own." This song circles back to the dance-pop style and takes on a happier tone than the previous song. This song expresses that being alone isn't always a bad thing. Now that there is no one holding you back, you can finally be who you want to be. Even though I can't get over these feelings for you, I know that in the end I'll be happy on my own.
