DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE MUSIC

THE SUCCESSFUL creation of the three songs relies not only on the lyrics and sounds, but on the music. Luckily, I have an extremely talented musician who has agreed to assist me, as well as play for me on the performance night.

I envision Song 1 as having acoustic guitar and Song 2 being accompanied by piano. I'm not quite sure about Song 3 yet. I want the music to complement the conversation, the pace, tone and nuances, and for the melody to differ slightly depending on which character is speaking.

The lyrics of the first two songs are already set to melodies that I devised, now I need experiment with different accompaniment. Acoustic guitar and piano are my top choices, as they would provide the simple, easily manipulated canvas that my conversations require.
