MUS 160 Senior Project:Â "Wasteful Pleasures"Â EPÂ by Jonah Tam

The Project Proposal
For the past 5-6 years, I’ve been heavily into music production, spending a large amount of my free time exploring the world of sound and investing time in myself both as a musician and as an engineer. For my senior project, I’ve decided that I want to prove myself and finally do something amazing with the time I’ve dedicated to this passion of mine and create a project I can be proud of.
I will create a complete EP (An EP is one to three songs, with one song at least 10 minutes long, and a total running time of 30 minutes or less. Or, four to six songs with a total duration of 30 minutes or less.) with album art.
​
Hopefully with experience I've gained, I can show that I’m capable of completing my goal within the given 20 weeks.
