Steven Kennedy 

BA [Hons] Creative Music Production

Looking forward to recording bands and continuing to perform live. I value every skill I've learned in this course and plan to use them in freelance recording and music production.

The project consisted of 5 TikTok videos in which the audience could vote on their favourite of 3 musical ideas.
Each subsequent video determined how the song would sound. Each element had 3 options - Bass, Rhythm guitar, Drums and Lead guitar.
The production of the song was managed using Reaper sessions containing each interchangeable musical element.
A survey was then conducted with people who voted on the videos. They answered questions based on their experiences watching the videos.
Project Description

This project aimed to combine audience participation with social media to explore the co-creation of music with online participants through TikTok. The project's findings suggest that this combination of the oldest and newest forms of entertainment can serve as a powerful creative tool to garner deeper connections between the audience and a song.
