Abstract
This culminating experience project focuses on the creation of a six-song album composed, produced, recorded and mixed by the author. The album is designed to serve as an homage to those affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's within his family, keeping their stories alive. The inspiration behind this project stems from the deeply personal experiences of the author's relatives who have battled these diseases, set against the backdrop of their home country, Mexico.
Each song in the album incorporates a unique blend of sonic elements carefully chosen for their relation to the environment and context of the referred people, including musical instruments and techniques from different regions of the country.
This holistic approach to music composition and production seamlessly integrates cultural and personal elements, creating a touching and multifaceted soundscape, while honoring the lives and memories of his loved ones.
By merging music, cultural heritage, and storytelling, the project aims to keep these memories and stories alive through the songs.
