Abstract
This project aims to enrich my different musical identities as an artist. I will produce a personal EP as a performer, composer, producer, etc. Composing and producing are new attempts for me. I will develop and explore new identities while consolidating the existing foundation and expanding more career possibilities. The EP contains 4 songs in total. The content of the songs is a complete storyline, which tells about my learning and growth experience in Berklee this year, as well as my yearning and expectations for the future. The themes of songwriting are all derived from the simple melodies and rhythms I created when playing and practicing bass, and they are developed into a complete whole. I hope to have my own representative works and show my ideas through performance and production. The method used in my project belongs to the field of performance research. I expressed all my inner thoughts in my works, and experienced many choices and difficulties in the creative process. These works are the final result of my continuous thinking and practice. At the same time, they also cultivated my ability to think from multiple angles, and finally completed these works with warm power.
