The stimulus this week emitted a great amount of vibrancy – as expected – and made our group feel as though we needed to make an up-beat, energetic song – hence the incorporation of the keys; however the stimulus made us, also, feel rather dreamy – this lead to us using as much reverb as possible on the vocals, to create a sound fitting to most people’s initial response to the image. 

Despite the colourful imagery of this week’s stimulus we decided to create a song that contrasted against its vibrancy. We noticed there was the colourful figure of a rather wealthy man in the image – appearing to be alone, unlike the rest of the people in the background; this lead us to creating a song related to the wealth and ‘happiness’ of the male figure. The genre was intentionally aimed to be quite up-beat; however we resorted in creating a simple chord structure to prevent the lyrics from becoming unheard.
