Simone said something in her lecture that helped me decide on the spot: "This is an opportunity for you to find something you're really interested in and would like to see yourself specialise in and develop your knowledge of." Or words to that effect.
I could compose anything any time, and don't see myself as much of a composer, so the composition idea was out. Synthesis and production skills are more hobbies than anything, and I don't think I could dedicate an entire year to a project based around those.
Jazz based skills and harmony theory, however, I use every day in many aspects of my playing. They are both things that interest me greatly and areas of my musicianship I'd like to develop as far as I can. Not only would I enjoy a project based around this more, but they'd help me develop my own musicianship more than anything else on the list in my previous post would.
The next few posts will be based on my initial thoughts about my possible approach to this project, and ideas as to how I could make a project based on jazz harmony and it's practices work.
