Abstract
Self-Mirage: Self-Reflective Songs Through the Lens of the Seven Deadly Sins is a self- explorative creative project. In this thesis, I will share my personal history, my project proposal, my goals and my process. With this project I aimed to complete a significant body work consisting of songs all written/composed and predominantly arranged by myself using the “seven deadly sins” as the concept for my album and to improve my performance and recording capabilities. My ultimate goal as a musician is to create interesting and collaborative works that push boundaries but unite people under the scope of curiosity and creativity. Within this project you’ll find the lead sheets, transcriptions, lyrics, artwork and details of the entire process from beginning to end of writing and recording each song. Coming out of this project I have an almost finished album of seven songs, plus two interludes, that will be released as my first singer/songwriter and bandleader project. My hope is that this will ignite for me a fruitful career in music, in which I am involved in various creative projects of my own and also continue to collaborate with other creatives from around the world.
