Why a Concept Album?
Creating an album or a singular song that is not only in tune, in time, and that can be heard as intended on any device is not an easy task for just one person to accomplish. In order to create a song that is up to par with the music industry today, there are a number of processes that have to be done. A song has to be arranged, edited, mixed, and then mastered in order to achieve a professional quality in the world of modern day streaming. A huge record label may have these steps done by separate people, however I wanted to prove to myself that I could accomplish all of these processes in order to have full control of my own music.
Tiempo
The first song of the album, the inspiration for this song was the timeless feeling of falling asleep or waking up,
Mal
.The literal translation meaning “Bad”, the inspiration being that somethings that seem “bad” in the moment are actually the reason something good happens later on.
Bien
“Good”, this song is about remembering and experiencing the good times.
