Artistic Vision and Technical Minimalism. Opportunity or Paradox?

The aim of this study was research how avoiding the use of modern music production tools like virtual instruments, samples, loops and amp emulations would affect my work as a songwriter and music producer in terms of creativity, artistic expression, efficiency and overall sound quality of the production. The project consisted of writing, producing and mixing four songs in different genres, using only a single, a Shure SM7b dynamic microphone and an Audient ID4 audio interface to record all of my sources. In the following step I compared the songs I created for this project to other songs I have created using  unlimited tool and looked for differences and similarities. The results obtained were for the most part positive. As an effect of minimizing the number of choices available in the creative process I was able to write and produce songs faster, while exploring my limitations as a musician, songwriter and producer.
