Running just under six minutes, it traces my shift from hiding behind the boards to stepping forward as writer-performer: unquantised piano and single-take vocals lead into programmed drums, resampling and sound design in FL Studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle section builds around a chopped sample of Bon Iver\u2019s &#8216;Holocene&#8217;, bridging acoustic and digital worlds and framing the core theme: finding a voice in the digital age, where speaking up can feel risky, with music as the bridge that lets me say what I believe. This is a solo work: written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by myself. The project is the practical companion to my CACS304 exegesis, &#8216;Humanising the Grid&#8217;, which details the project&#8217;s methods (off-grid recording, selective quantisation, and transition design) and the rationale behind them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acknowledgements: sample source &#8216;Holocene&#8217; (Bon Iver, 2011).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Bio Willem Blomfield is a Sydney-based music producer whose work blends digital beat-making with organic instrumentation.
