During the performance I feel that my nervous and uncomfortable feelings showed to the audience through my lack of guitar playing. During the performance, however, it was almost as if I didn’t care and I was very much in the moment. Unplanned, I started singing and humming as this is what I would naturally do […]
Challenge: complete a performance with musical instruments Instruments Logically, I could not bring a piano into the studio. This is my favourite instrument currently and I feel most confident on it. A violin could go too wrong too easily and I have not played in front of anyone for years. Therefore, I wanted to record […]

The artist needed to be the one that I relate with the strongest, either because their work overlaps with my current concerns, or because their work suggests […]
