The following piece, ‘Y’, featuring vocals by Ryan Gillian, is the culmination of a self-devised brief for a project from a university module. I had chosen to focus my efforts on the creation and production of vocals, as this is an area I had neglected within my own practice. I had initially begun the project by writing the lyrics for the piece, and after several attempts, alongside an impulse of inspiration, I managed to come up with a set of lyrics I was happy with. Since arriving at university, my music productions have been centred around emotional and mental experiences, and I found this was also easily reflected when it came to writing the lyrics for ‘Y’. 

Stylistically, the track reflects those that I have been creating since coming to university, exploring similar ideas and techniques; placing large emphasis on pianos for the chord progression of the piece, whilst letting the main lead synth elements control and dominate the melodic variations. With the introduction of vocals, it was initially difficult trying to find the correct balance between them and the elements previously listed; whether to compromise the weight and power of the piece’s texture to allow space for the vocals, or to somehow find the perfect blend between the two. 

Over the course of the project, I listened to a variety of similar vocal piece’s to generate some ideas over the mannerisms when it came to mixing side of the vocals; for example a lot of productions by Sigma focus on enhancing the top-end of the vocals to emphasise the consonants in the speech, whilst ‘On Fire’ by Melano provides a large amount of room for the vocal to dominate the piece, whilst the rest of the mix complements the production overall. When it came to editing the audio, I took a lot of influence from the work of Danny Byrd, the way the vocals are chopped down to vowel expressions, before being rearrange and re-pitched to form an entirely new phrase with melodic structure. 

To summarise, ‘Y’ has been one of the most enjoyable productions I have worked on to this date, and has inspired me to work with vocals further in the future, to test my abilities with the mix and production, alongside granting the opportunity to work and collaborate with a plethora of other vocalists and artists. I am pleased with the outcome of the project and it has given me a range of new ideas to implement on future productions.
