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 lace's are you gonna cowboy up or just lie there? Here’s what lace said about the project:

moving at a deliberately restrained pace, favoring low tempos, sparse arrangements, and subtle dynamic shifts, songs often hover in a state of suspension before opening briefly into distortion or saturation, stopping short of full catharsis. emotion is present but contained, as if constantly on the verge of rupture.

This week is static's la tête dans les parages. Here’s what static said about the project:

this album explores themes of melancholy and apprehension toward the future through a wide spectrum of musical styles. conceived in parallel with a research paper, the album serves both as a practical application of its findings and as a critique of genre conformity within the contemporary music industry. rather than positioning itself within a clearly defined genre, la tête dans les parages deliberately navigates between contrasting musical idioms, challenging the assumption that stylistic homogeneity is a prerequisite for artistic coherence.

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.
