How have you been handling the pandemic?

Were you happy, sad, frustrated, or feeling something else?

I have felt all of these feelings and I processed my emotions through my senior thesis called Inner World.

“Inner World”

Inner World reflects the feelings/emotions I have felt over the last year, mid-2020 to 2021. This project consists of three demos each representing a different period of time in my line: Blue, Drowning, and -L-o-v-e-.

“Happiness; the adrenaline for the soul.”– J.W

Blue:

This song was written during the time where I was able to get happiness through the littlest things like going out and meeting friends I haven’t seen in a while precautiously, going on walks, or going outside feeling the sun. It was the feeling of happiness and joy that I felt to inspire me to make a resilient song. I realized that even through the darkest of times, the sun is always shining.

“I always enjoy the night, but I also fear the night. “ – Donna Jung

Drowning:

This song was written during a hard time when all I did was think deep thoughts once the sky went dark. The pandemic has struggled with my mental state of mind/being; I would feel emotionally drained and sad for many nights. Usually, the night would be a time I would look forward to and tune into myself, but sometimes I would tune in too far as if the night was slowly taking me away and I sinking

“Love won’t shine unless we unify” – J.W

-L-o-v-e-:

This song came from a special and raw place. This was written during the time that I felt the world was against specific individuals including myself. Many people have been disrespecting one another for no valid reasons and I couldn’t understand/process behind this all. Due to the recent hate crimes that have been surfacing, I felt it was only necessary for me to address a song to these matters.

My Process/Challenges

Throughout the making of this project, I came across many obstacles that I had to overcome. The first major one was the pandemic. Staying at home every day was tiring and exhausting. As I mentioned before it took a toll on me mentally and sometimes it was hard to overcome it. I would lose motivation and be out of energy to work. However, I was able to process all those negativity through my music.

The second obstacle I faced was consistency. I had a hard time standing my ground. There were times where I believed that I was doing well and I was on the right path, but there were other times where I believed that my work wasn’t great. I kept self-doubting myself leading to me starting over and trying to make something new, never sticking to something. In the end, I was able to finalize my thre

The last obstacle I came across was my home studio. Working at home can be challenging, especially due to the pandemic. I was limited in my supplies and limited on what I can do. It would have been better if I was able to play guitar or play the instruments I used to get the live aspect into my songs, but that can be my next summer goal. I had to work with what I had and produce it to my best of m

All around this project was challenging and frustrating at times, but it helped me grow as a person and learn from this experience.
