Authors Interlude

About CAP Selects Season 6 of CAP Selects is a weekly series showcasing the exceptional work of our Creative Audio Production & Sound Engineering students. During the second-year of study, students are tasked with writing a five-track album from scratch that realises a creative vision. An opportunity to explore any idea they choose – the only limitations to this brief is that one of the tracks must be collaborative and another must be covers or reinterpretations of original work. This week is Ellen Thurgeson's The Shrew. Here’s what she said about the project: "My latest album bridges the boundaries between private struggles and public performance. Through my music, I create a platform to address social concerns while developing a connection through shared narratives. Despite the weight of the themes I explore, my music remains inviting, offering listeners who are less inclined to analyse lyrics an easy and fun listening experience. For me, music is not only a form of self-expression but also a means to build community and inspire change."
