Abstract
The basis of this project is to write, record, produce and mix a long play (LP) of 8 songs to experiment with technologies, methods and creative music production techniques that will strengthen the message and aesthetics from an Avant-pop and electronic perspective.
Influenced by the work of artists such as Sevdaliza, Arca, Rosalía or Joji, this LP aims to be an experimental and innovative approach to pop production. Sound design, synthesis, creative production techniques, hybrid recording, and mixing methods were some of the tools used in this work. During the process, one of the biggest challenges was creating a unique sonic world, using sound design to represent the concepts behind the record. The creative use of Ableton’s tools and features was key to success. This LP includes feats with national and international artists. Hopefully, this project will inspire future sound designers and contemporary pop productions.
