Abby Thomson - BA (Hons) Music and Sound Design
nothing's as it seems- EP
For my project I have created an EP that I have recorded and produced from my bedroom. This EP has given me the opportunity to really reach into my emotions and write from the heart, and for my insitllation piece I have recreated the space that I made this music. This project represents the lonliness I often felt from moving to a big city away from my family, using fantasy books as a way to escape reality and take solace in the words.
For my instillation I have included a lot of books and fantasy trinkets that represent the worlds I was escaping into and as for the music itself, there are subtle hints of these themes throughout. My music is melancholic and relaxing, a way for people to escape and feel immersed.
My artist name is Whimsy and this is just the beginning of my music journey, I wish to make music for the rest of my life and create a world that people can take comfort in, relate to and build a community of those that aren't afraid to get lost in fantasy.
The artwork for my album was drawn by my sister Jay Thomson, she has a pinterest of more of her art under her name.
