This semester, I'm doing a collaboration with dancer and cinematographer, Ayesha Norcross. Her emotive and contemporary dance approach matches well with my style of lyric driven composition.
We met up on the 9th March to discuss the collaboration and how we approach composing for music / dance. Over and over again, Ayesha reinforced this idea of letting the music "breathe". The pauses between beats. A change in pace. The rise and fall in melody. Below, are notes I took during this discussion. The main take aways for me, were to place an emphasis on DYNAMICS and PULSE. This was also made important due to her love of acoustic hip hop stylings, where pulse and rhythm is key for the laid back sound. From this, I decided to play around with the physicality of breathing through accapella - letting the dancer and musician breathe together.
