For this final project I would like to perform and record a track playing all the instruments. It could be an original song or a cover song. One of my favorites artist is Dave Grohl, songwriter and frontman in the Foo Fighters , and Nirvana ex-drummer. After Nirvana, Dave created his own band Foo Fighters and recorded his first album all by himself, playing all the instruments and singing.
If I choose to go towards an original song direction, I will probably compose a alternative rock piece, once it's an really experimental genre with no limitations, clear convention and cliches so that I could bring and use all baggage of samba and bossa nova I've built studying music in Brazil. Furthermore, I could write something in the style of Radiohead, Soundgarden or Pearl Jam or in style of Nick Drake and Linda Perhacs.
Another idea I have is to record a Foo Fighters or Nirvana song, once I have been playing their song for quite a while. One of the songs I might pick is My Hero because it's a song that I fell really comfortable drumming also would be a way to honor one of my favorites drummers, Taylor Hawkins (late Foo Fighters drummer). I am also thinking about record a Hendrix song, such as little wing or the wind Cries Mary
One of my main inspirations for this project is Jamie Harrison a famous guitar player on Youtube who got popular for his covers of Jimi Hendrix songs
Eddie Vedder playing the Into the Wild soundtrack
