The mixtape is still my favorite way to tell a story.
Many of you know my love for music. My podcast "Night Club Musical" is based off me mixing tunes to an imaginary Broadway Musical using the newest/latest "electronic" vocal tracks that try to tell a story.
"Developing Story" hits a little different. It's a story as old as time. This is 15 loving and heartbreaking short stories told by amazing artists, but combined to tell a complete story using my vision.
Setting:
Beginning with the early morning hours capturing the tranquil and hopeful feeling of morning just before sunrise. It's a new day full of potential.
Now you're stuck in the moment, remembering when love was new, and giving perspective to your memories and the lasting impact and experiences that new love gave us.
I associate the beach with feeling carefree, laughter and love. That's why a lot of Carribbean sounds were chose for this mix.
I also used tracks with a bit of orchestral components for the dramatic effect- like swaying with the wind or going where the waves take you. It gives the overwhelming feelings of being in a passionate relationship and getting lost in the moment, where it makes it easy to be vulnerable- where you surrender your feelings hoping they see the real you, even if it means being exposed and screaming it from the mountaintop.
You're on cruise control, but this is where the story takes a turn- think "The Last American Virgin" for those of us that are old enough to remember, but with a complete crescendo ending to the climax.
This mix was made over a one week time period between 3am- 5am. I wanted to a have a clear mind so everyone could feel the beauty and soundscapes of electronic music and how it tells its Developing Story.
