-Inspiration behind these songs (Specific examples or stories?)
The inspirations behind the songs that are going to be released on the E.P vary. Mainly from Ben writing the lyrics. Most come from personal stories or things that have happened to him. For example one of the songs that I wont name is about people backstabbing him and making him look like a fool.
-What do you enjoy about your music/performing?
What I personally enjoy about performing this music live on stage is that all the drama and stress that goes on during the day all goes away for those 20 or 30 minutes that you get to play in front of people.
-What kind of effort does music-making require?
Music-making requires some effort depending on what you are composing. For music as simple as Acidosis’ , not that much effort is required. But for some other piece of music like a jazz song , much more effort is required. So it all depends on what the particular musician is trying to accomplish.
-Describe a typical performance
A typical performance consists of people getting on stage and singing along with Ben, people going crazy and running around. And in general just having a good time.
-How did the process of releasing the E.P come about?
The process of the making this release was a rather tough one. We went into the studio already ready to record and the music was tight , obviously not as good as it could be. But before we actually began recording there was a lot of drama as far as the ways we were going to record. So needless to say , there was a lot of drama and arguing in the studio , but in the end it all stayed there and with the finished result we were all satisfied.
Names of the tracks on the album?… Is there somewhere that I can get the lyrics for them?
Hey Lyssa! great work on the article but I was told that I had to make your article shorter. I was wondering if there was any possible way you could shorten it to about 300 words max?? I’m so sorry I thought Acidosis would be the main piece but was informed that it would have to be shorter! Again so sorry I can tell you worked very hard on it!!
Hey Lyssa! Well as for the quotes I think you’re right just stick to the quotes by the student that goes to beach high. You can shorten it by taking out one of the fan quotes and other info but please do try to get a review of at least one song. It would only have to be like 3 sentences at most. So must haves are a few Ben quotes, when the CD is coming out and the process of making the CD, a review of the song(s), and a fan quote. The rest is up to you!! Thank youuuuuuu
