HOLLY & ZOË

Experimental musical collaborations between myself and Holly Mae Haddock (aka: Team Bright)

 
 

Open Up The Space (2014)

This song was created via Holly Mae’s project called 7 X 7. We created the song in 7 passes total back and forth to each other living in different countries. Holly in the US and me in Mexico.


That I Am (2013)

This song was created based on a project inspired the Werner Herzog film The 5 Obstructions. A project were we were gave ourselves 5 parameters within which to create a song.

1) Write and record a whole song in one day

2) Use autotune

3) Holly creates the music

4) Zoë creates the lyrics, melody and vocals

5) Find a way to put the separate pieces together


Start From Where I Am (2005)

In this collaboration, Holly Mae and I were discussing our frustrations and insecurities with music making, and then we decided to turn those feelings into a song of self-approval!


Borderline (2004)

In our first collaboration, Holly Mae and I decided to write a song using 5 obstructions (or limitations).

  1. Write and record a song in one day

  2. Choose 3 words at random from the dictionary to incorporate into the song

    1. Dictionary

    2. Catheter

    3. Borderline

  3. Use arpeggio chords

  4. Use only acoustic instruments

  5. I can’t remember the last one!

Women Awakening Song/ Cancion de Las Mujeres Despertar (2018)

And for our most recent, and most ambition collaboration yet, Holly Me and I teamed up again on a musical project with over 80 women at Women Awakening/El Despertar de La Mujeres, a bilignual women’s summit at Cuatro Vientos in Todos Santos. Holly and I wrote chords and a melody, that included verses, a chorus and 2 different bridges to accommodate lyrics that we workshopped with the group - we wanted them to incorporate their lyrical impressions from the 9 different female-led workshops that we had all experienced together over the weekend. The result is a 5 minute song in both Spanish and English.

 

Here is a video I put together that shows the highlights of the process, the audio is the finished song that we all sang together at the end of the workshop:
