the person im taking inspiration on it ethel cain. this is a artist who has made a whole album and is fictional and the name ethel changed to her artist name so she can embody the character. each song goes through the story of the character and she album is called preachers daughter, she formerly mentioned she wants to create projects/albums that will go though the whole of the cain family. this album is a story throughout each song represents a part of the girls story.

Preacher's Daughter is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and record producer Ethel Cain. It was released on May 12, 2022, via her own independent record label Daughters of Cain, which serves as an imprint of publishing company Prescription Songs. The album was entirely produced by Cain, with assistance from Matthew Tomasi on two tracks.

Preacher's Daughter is a concept album that creates a narrative centered on fictional characters and inspired by the artist's personal life as the daughter of a deacon. It explores intense themes including family trauma and sexual violence. Sonically, it experiments with Americana, folk, ethereal wave, goth-pop, dark ambient, and elements of several other genres.

innovative Artists:

Lady Gaga- absurd story telling costumes

Static Dress- video word promotion

Mk.Gee- guitar editing/tone

pierce the veil- mexican riffs

2hollis- medieval mix of hyper pop

brakence- hyperpop enhancer

deftness- metal shoegaze

Kanye west - controversial writing methods

innovation can be triggered from a problem/limitation. example - hyper pop genre became popular and unique because instrument prices were too high during the lockdown so people were forced to learn DAW and bedroom pop was born and hyper pop was also popularised and perfected as a genre.

idea 1- being inspired by latin music/ pierce the veil

idea 2 - using a vocal transformer on stage for live enhancement.

idea 3 - using crime stories/immagination to write songs building up an image

This week me John and cam (H:sharp) were expecting to walk into the 2 hour hybrid workshop and work together to develop initial ideas however we cam across a roadblock.

when arriving in the lesson Andy proceeded to tell us that the lesson were split up into random groups to practise, we were disappointed as we wanted too use these lesson to work on our ideas and develop them into actual songs. we sent Carmel an email to inform her of what we need going forward to try and solve this problem.

but I carried on in lesson and I proceeded to be paired up with a bassist and a keyboard/singer. we did a cover off "you know that im no good". by Amy Winehouse. we decided to make it innovative by changing up sections added a extra chorus and made the keyboard electrical.

# data[].attributes.body
For our innovation we decided to make 2 songs that become a story, that's fictional based on a certain subject. the narrative won't be coming from any of us it will be from a fictional character tying in a intense story writing structure.

we've also decided to include Mexican/ Hispanic riffs and chord progressions just to spice it up a little bit.

my inspiration for this song writing choice where it is fictional and is a whole world created fresh from just songs,

is from a artist Ethel cain she has changed her whole name to create a character come to life "Ethel Cain" and the whole album is about this Ethel growing up in a traumatic religious town. and each songs builds up a story line of this fictional character.

WHO? John, Cameron, Bryn - might collaborate with bassists and lead.

WHAT?

creating 2 tracks both added up from seven too ten minutes.

INNOVATION

latin styled guitar riffs similar to Pierce The Veil - Cam

creating a fictional story within the lyrics of the songs instead of the narrative driven by real life events. - Bryn

WHY?

For me I am using this writing style so I can make a dark detailed story that immerses the listener.

HOW?

I will using inspiration for pierce the veil and mainly an artist called ethel cain. us as a band will be making the instrumentals and behind the scenes I will be trying to create an idea story like.

wakes up in his religious household parents are not home panics from nightmare about killing his parents accidentally

runs to a church to crying pleading to god for a explanation of where he is/ where ihis family is because he's scared.

voice telling him to calm down and promising him he will find what he needs if he gives himself to her.

he in fear proceeds with this unholy woman and gives her his soul and does things he doesn't want too.

when she finally doesn't want to use him anymore she proceeds to tell the story undefiled from the start about how it was real and all him from the start and how he doesn't realise it but he has an evil inside him he cannot control

this week we were happy to find out we got to work with who we wanted. we still had a prompt however we didnt have to cover a song. and to tie into our innovation idea we decided to mix gothic rock with opera influence because the prompt was genre mixture. I sung using there back of my throat arrabic scales in an opera tone during a section of the song. I tried to write but we didnt have enough time so I just freestyled using topics of our story created for innovation.

What musical styles are different from yours?

I feel like when we create music we have different genre backgrounds, we take inspirations from different artists and try our best to tie them into the music we make. even if we don't use the inspiration we grew up with we use what inspires us at the moment. for me im really into western goth with lyric writing that tells stories so deep it creates a fictional world within the songs/project. moving forward I want to try and incorporate this. im also for visual wise really obsessed and inspired by the gothic side of lady gaga music videos such as Alejandro or abracadabra the colour schemes are so beautiful to me.

I would love to collaborate with song writers to think of a deeper way to incorporate a fictional/real story into my lyric writing.

this week we experimented with different students and different areas of technology to improve a performance within innovation.

we paired up with 2 people that we have not worked with creation wise before ( Harry - guitar and holly - vocalist), we had been given a vocal effect processor with the including features of autotune, reverb/echo, delay, filter and format shifter.

with me and holly being vocalists we wanted to experiment with this new piece of equipment between us in a dynamic way. when using all the features holly wanted to make her voice sound as synthetic and effected as possible. and that's when we decided to perform with one voice with a lot of effects which would be the synthetic side and one completely raw voice which would be me.

each line of the song we sung between us and created a dynamic of fake and real between voices. we chose the cover celebrity skin by hole.

John on the drums decided to incorporate trap beats within the song and cam ran his bass through his guitar pedals and created a genty tone.

skinny love - bon iver, I would change the instrumental to this song I would change the guitar and maybe add in some piano and maybe sing it in a different key so that it wasn't based in falsetto.

With a cover id like to cover is maybe making a pierce the veil song into a slow core more slowed version of itself. or another answer would be Dominic fike sunburn and make it metal core.

there is a section in the song sunburn 1 minute and 27 seconds in where the bass could potentially have a guitar follow the rhythm in power chords

this week was show and tell.

it was a opportunity to bring in a special item from home to make music or percussion with in a creative cover.

living in the house of my band and my classmate holly we decided to incorporate all of our items and work together.

for my item I went out and bought a tube that when spinning it it creates different high pitch sounds as seen in the Clip above. we wanted to really incorporate that within a song, we chose to do "Sweet escape" by Gwen stafani. at the start ofthe song and after the choruses there is a vocal that goes "woohoo yeehoo" and with my creative item I chose to replace the vocal with the sounds from my tube. to create a higher noise you have to spin it faster and for a lower tone you would spin it slower, so I spun it slow to fast in these sections of the song. I also was the leads singer for this song and I chose to be innovative to myself and sing it in the original key even though it was very high for me and at maybe the peak of my vocal range I prepared my voice and sang it as well as I can.

in this video it shows that me cam and Johns progress within making the song, so far have created 5 time signature changes and bpm changes correlating into the lyrics and eventful story liner being created.

my limitations include

health issues - asthma affects singing

creative blocks - with writing lyrics

time issues - have to always be creating within the band

this is the second song, less lyrics as its written to let the instrumental breath and me improvise in character

# data[].attributes.body
this is still the first song, just before the transition into the second song

# data[].attributes.body
this is the notes from my lyrics. This note is where the story starts

# data[].attributes.body
This is innovative as the lyrics align with the songs time changes and with the transition of the track creating a purely fictional story within music. The first song starts of with a boy named nick who wakes up with his household family missing in the midst of medieval Romania, who then praises a lord above for his family to come back. Only he praised an evil spirit who forces him to give up a part of his soul to make him do his dirty work. The lyrics creates an atmospheric feeling as they feed into the instrumental created collaboratively in our rehearsal lessons. For example when the track gets heavier so does the voice and the lyrics are scarier and when the track gets more eery my voice softens and I sing slower describing where we are at story wise. This is innovative because no artist has switched fictional characters inbertween a track (2 songs transitioned into one) telling a whole story in one using voice changes and 5 time changes in each song to set the scenes of different key points to a story.

# data[].attributes.body
We have included four to five time changes in these songs.

also including inspiration from the genres

shoegaze

metal core

metal breakdowns

post - hardcore
