My digital artefact is an artist platform that has been created on SoundCloud, where I have made and uploaded ‘royalty-free’ beats onto that are free to download. The project encompasses a wide variety of musical genre’s and styles, and aims to provide music for users who are primarily amateur music producers, or other video contentContinue reading “Contextualizing ‘Unfinished Business’”

As my D.A nears final submission for this university semester, so to does this signal the beginning of further musical work I’d like to upload online, maybe on the profile I made, or maybe on an entirely new profile that picks up off the shortcomings of this project, such as being not as interactive withContinue reading “Making and Moving Forward With ‘Unfinished Business’”

So, since around week 5 after my last blog post, I began work immediately on my DA idea, ‘Unfinished Business’. The basis of this idea was to create an alias artist platform that I would upload beats onto at least a couple of times a week, just for people to listen to, but also availableContinue reading “Developing “Unfinished Business””

This is particularly obvious with how Hollywood has taken over most, ifContinue reading “The Homogenization of Global Film Product”

So already, I have made a change to my Digital Artifact. I have decided to change the artist title I’m working off for this project to “Chuunne”, the idea coming from wanting to make the name I’m working under more Australia centric, as more of a joke on the way Triple J presenters pronounce theContinue reading “Developing on the Ideation of my DA”

What I am thinking of doing: The main idea I have for my BCM 114 Digital Artifact is creating an artist platform utilising both Soundcloud and Bandcamp, using an alias artist name to upload weekly ‘beats’ on which will be downloadable for subscribers to use royalty free in their own musical work. The plan: SoContinue reading “BCM 114 – Ideating my DA”
