The Role of the Album in Popular Music Production
Dylan J Crawfoot · Queensland University of Technology · 2018
This project involved practice led research to examine the role of the album in music production today. The thesis considers the changing nature of the music industry, and the shift away from physical formats to streaming that allow the listener greater autonomy in creating their own listening experiences. Interviews were conducted with current industry practitioners, and an album recorded to demonstrate how a cohesive, extended body of work by an artist can still be created and presented to an audience.
