Oliver O'Brien
This project was my Dissertation which achieved a mark of 67%. It demonstrates how the developments in technology have influenced and progressed the genre of House Music. The production of the four tracks illustrates how the affordances of specific technologies across four decades enabled producers to drive musical innovation within House Music. Each track was carefully selected to highlight a significant technological advancement from each decade in which it was produced, with these developments discussed in detail in the accompanying dissertation. The four tracks are recreation of "Promised Land" by Joe Smooth, "Needin U" by David Morales, "At Night" by Shakedown and "Baiana" by Bakermat.
