Creating a Concept Album

A concept album is a cohesive musical work in which all songs revolve around a central theme and work together to tell a story. Over the course of this year, I will be creating one of my own, taking inspiration from artists like Pink Floyd, Muse, Steven Wilson, and Dream Theater. Throughout the first semester, I will be creating a story, writing lyrics and music, and making demos. In the second semester, I will start by finalizing arrangements, dialing in tones, and recording the bass, drums, rhythm guitars. Then, I will finalize melodies and solos, and record the vocals, synth, and lead guitar. Once everything is recorded, I will be mixing and mastering, then releasing!
