Ben’artivist – maskofanark

Abstract

The following report refers to the development of the album “Mask Of Anark”,composed and produced by my alternative identity, Ben’Artivist. The project was organized in four stages of development: first the instrumental production, then the song writing, after that the voice recording and finally the mixing stage, all described in this report. The album presents a wide diversity of musical styles with a noticeable influence of Portuguese Hip-Hop. The message of the project is focused on the destruction of the system in which we are stuck without awareness; an imprisoning system causing the world’s collapse, a melancholic life filled with a sense of rage and lack of social empathy, that leads us to a state of madness. This album is an antisystem manifest, in which the roots of hip-hop are mixed with genres such as dubstep, trap, drill.
