As the second studio song for my capstone, I recorded and produced “Fruit” written by myself. To add some variety and a nod to the lyrics of the song, I brought on my girlfriend, Aphrodite Varis, to sing what I had originally written for myself. With this change, I had to raise the key of the song and change some orchestration I planned for in the beginning. I also brought on Brian Fink to play the drums in “Fruit”, but all other instrumentation was composed, arranged, and performed by myself.
