Abstract
My Culminating Experience titled OddFoot is a five song EP. A collection of hyper-pop, indie-rock and hiphop inspired tracks, OddFoot is a dense, humorous, and distinct work blending personal and sincere narratives about occurrences in my life with an ironic lyrical tone and an original electronic landscape. The strongest and most unifying aspect is the lyrics, heavily focused on rhyme to a comical extent. They discuss intimate topics under jarring layers of imagery and irony in a humorous and awkward manner such that the listener may not be sure if the artist is truly joking, or what the artist’s intention truly is. It is nevertheless funny, interesting, emotionally vulnerable and captivating, and sonically novel and stimulating not only as an instrumental, but also by the interaction of the sound design with the unique lyrics and tone. The songs are “I Hate”, “Chris n’ Alyssa”, “Sour Candy”, “Rigor Mortis”, and “Happy Again”, respectively about my frustrating experience and mental state during the BNYC program, my bother’s wedding, a sugary, toxic-relationship metaphor taken comically too far, the death of my grandmother, and the enduring longing and hope of a long-distance relationship.
