Big Blue Car : Mapping the creative processes of making an album
Channel: Big Blue Car Music
Date: 2021-03-14

A personal walk-through about creative inspiration and how it gets mapped out and built into a set of songs - in this case specifically for the '10 Campfire Songs' project.

Including and not forgetting the sometimes frustrating stages in the process of making a music album - wordy stuff innit.

...and all with barely a nod to the current (March '21) Covid19 lockdown shenanigans.
