Abstract
This project examines the journey of creating an album, detailing every step along the way: from an analysis of the creative thought process behind songwriting, to a commentary on the leadership skills required to organize a well-rehearsed band and schedule studio dates, to an explanation of why specific microphones when placed at a particular distance from a particular instrument will record a particular sound quality. The resulting product of the investigation is Get Real: a 34-minute professional-quality album and an essay providing readers and listeners with personal commentary on every detail of the process. Get Real strives to serve as a stepping-stone for inspiring the fostering of one’s creativity, as the completion of the project has been an exciting opportunity to embrace all project participants’ artistry.
