I want to know the time breakdown between how long it takes them to write and record a song, and how long it takes them to make the corresponding music video to go along with it.

Anyway, let me know if this strikes your fancy. I can put you in touch with great people (my family, lol).

THINGS TO EXPLORE:

The struggle of small schools to survive the coming "enrollment cliff."
The de-valuation of arts & humanities in higher-ed.
The program of pairing composers with students is a cool experiment in getting new works performed.

Last May, the university decided to cut all of its arts and many humanity programs. The school is trying to survive declining enrollment, but the decision infuriated staff and students. So now, this trip is basically a last hurrah for a theater program that was kicked to the curb by the school.
