Enjoy a short performance with Hawksley followed by a Q&A about his song-writing process and techniques. The discussion will delve into Hawksley’s approaches to cultivating melodic surprise, colour and contrast, harmonic contour and form, and how to inject lyrics with drama and conflict. UVic students will then have the opportunity to perform original songs for the audience and receive constructive critique from Hawksley.
