While at home听during听the coronavirus pandemic,听抖阴短视频 Boulder undergraduate Hannah Richardson wrote, sang, recorded and produced an album.

She didn鈥檛 have access to a recording studio so she used her closet as a makeshift studio.听Amid the acoustically acceptable collection of coats and clothes emerged听Maniac, an album that reflects her feelings about life during the pandemic.

鈥淚 decided to do an album because I had all this free time and there was no other place for me to put my energy,鈥� Richardson said. 鈥淚 wrote the songs and then I鈥檇 go into the closet with a microphone to layer the tracks and sing. From there I mixed it myself. I have a producer I work with in Nashville, Tennessee. Since we couldn鈥檛 meet in person, I鈥檇 send him the tracks and he鈥檇 add to the production, and send it back.鈥�

The first-year English student and Norlin Scholar describes her music as retro-infused pop, reminiscent of Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey.听

鈥淒ifferent songs reflect different days during the pandemic,鈥� she said. 鈥淪ome are darker and came from a place where it felt really dreary and sad. And some are happy and optimistic. A lot of the songs have dramatic elements in them. I absolutely love incorporating orchestration into my music, like strings and a retro sound, so I felt like that title made sense.鈥�

She was 7 when she began singing on stage. At 13 she started writing music using the computer program called Garage Band. She has since moved on to using LogicPro, a more advanced program.

Richardson used the same producer for听Maniac听who had helped her produce her first album,听Chasing Rainbows, when she was 16.听

Chasing Rainbows听happened because Richardson met a songwriter when she was living in State College, Pennsylvania, and they wrote some of the songs for that album together. The songwriter also connected her with the producer and other songwriters and she got to sing and record in a studio in Nashville.

鈥淭his new album was more fun for me because I got to do it from the comfort of my bedroom,鈥� Richardson said. 鈥淔or the average person, an album doesn鈥檛 have to be synthetic or so perfect. It鈥檚 more about feeling comforted in the song itself. Doing it this way was more authentic and real.鈥�

In 2018, Richardson was part of a team of songwriters who received an Emmy nomination for听musical composition/arrangement听for the short film听The Tree That Visited New York City For the Holidays. It was about the tree听that came from her home town to be the 2018 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in New York City.

Next semester Richardson wants to earn a certificate in music technology at 抖阴短视频 Boulder鈥檚 College of Music, which will provide her with a strong background in music software, recording, postproduction techniques and film scoring.

Her dream job is to be a music supervisor,听who oversees the music-related aspects of film, television, advertising and video games. To work toward such a career, Richardson has her hopes on a law degree after graduating.

鈥淭o be a music supervisor, you need to understand copyright law and you also need听to be creative,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t would be the best of both worlds for me. I鈥檇 get to do something intellectual and creative.鈥澨�

In the meantime, Richardson has begun working on new songs for her next album.听
