Chaos in an Empty Room is me and my best friend's group. We wrote this song as a friendly and relaxing track to listen to during summer. The lyrics are light and depict the way people want to feel when on Hollidays, having fun and not taking care of their regular problems. With sounds inspired by the funk, the pop and the folk genres, we managed to get a result navigating between these soundscapes. The visuals are abstract, inspired from the colorful reflections on the surface of a mirror ball.
This song is one of my own, which I wrote and recorded during 2024. It had been a difficult year for me, especially about trusting myself with going forward with my plans. I used to struggle talking to people about my feelings. I then started to imagine how someone who is alone would do to feel strong and confident, and ended up writing about pride when being all alone, imagining the words of a fighter who's feared or hated by people. The visuals are the ones of a snake, as a poisonous and fearless symbol, along with bold font-work to emphasize the idea of strength.
This song was actually written by my younger brother. He writes and raps his own texts, and needed to record one for his Portfolio. I therefore helped him with the realisation of his project. He needed a drumless prod, which I worked on following certain references he had given me. The overall song after mixing is one of my favourite musical works, as it allows the artistic vision of someone else to reach people.
