The past weeks since the commencement of this new music project has seen the development of A-side, 'Buds of Lavender'. In that period, through instrumental arrangement changes and lyrical modifications, an almost-complete piece has been moulded.
Now, a look at the the workings of the B-side. The video diaries, below, show experimentation with percussion using firsly a box. Then, using stripped-back hot rods upon a stick bag (that sports a rubber pad on top).
Since 'Buds of Lavender' is the signifier of 'hope' within the metaphorical journey in relation to boh finding and taking wisdom from the book, 'The Greatest Thing in the World'; the yet-to-be-titled B-side must surely bring another perspective on the whole affair/concept...
In order to do this, I thought the best way to capture another mood/perspective, would be to make certain contrasts to the A-side. The format of release in itelf (traditionally) literally has two sides, thus literally embodies this conceptual framework.
The first move on making one contrast, then, is to create a B-side which is much more stripped back, using mostly acoustic guitar, percussion (decided through experimentation) and one vocalist. Here are the workings so far...
Towards the Project Finale...
To highlight the decision-making process in relation to each song for this project, I shall present an annotated version that underlines significant parts with respect to the brief.
