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 Mazzy's sides. Here’s what he said about the project: I am interested in the combination of live instruments with digital processing and quiet moments with loud effects to create emotional experiences. My musical research investigates how various sound production methods and recording approaches affect human emotional responses and sensory experiences. I unite musical elements with environmental sounds through my compositions, combining recorded environmental ambiences with my performance of live instruments, electronic drums and sample manipulation. My musical compositions exist to create emotional spaces and establish an environment that enables listeners to feel physical responses and emotional changes. It is about experiencing the music, but also your own surroundings and feelings.
