This semester has particularly been one of growth specifically for me and my own Digital Artefact. I have identified a steady ideating process which I have been using to my advantage when putting out the content that I have been producing and curating. As mentioned in my Beta, this involved feedback on album cover designs from my audience, quality of the track’s by receiving feedback on demos and other necessary elements, and finally the final release.
It is clear that this process has been benefiting me in a number of ways, which can be evidently shown through the increase in the number of streams and plays received on my new tracks. Most noteworthy, my new previously released track ‘Make Night’ provided me with a great foundation on better understanding my audience needs and characteristic’s. Having received 2.1k streams in under 3 days which is the best result I’ve ever seen one of my tracks perform, personally implied to me that this process is valid and continuing to work and also gave me insight to what appeals more to my audience in terms of what music they like.
In comparison to my other track ‘Mindreader’, ‘Make Night’ is performing much better in terms of streams and plays which is why currently I have been working on a number of additional tracks similar to this category of genre and plan to release an EP and hopefully an album not too soon after to expand on the content I’ve already been curating. Additionally, the last few weeks I have been placing a specific emphasis on promoting my works, whilst sticking to the original process of using social media, I decided to prototype and experiment with this by submitting my track to music forums and pages, whom of which have been able to give me shout-outs and gain even more exposure. With the likes of other world-renowned producers following the page such as Timmy Trumpet and Touch Sensitive and other music artists, has provided me with the confidence to push this even further and continuing to keep growing even at the commencement of this course.
Overall, I am very excited about the process my DA has made over recent months and am very excited to share some more new content with everyone in the future and continue to build upon my already current audience demographic.

Well this DA seems to have a very solid foundation to it and an already pretty decent audience size. The only thing I’d suggest possibly is other ways of incorporating your idea. Possibly starting an instagram page of some kind for it will get it more views and feedback or to possibly show people how your making the music and the process. Other then that seems like a very solid DA.

I can see that you have been working really hard and been putting effort into making weekly quality content. Your digital artefact is very well done and the audience size that you have created astounds me. The only idea I have that I believe could improve your current DA would be to try and expand your current demographic on other social media platforms and to post snippets of your music more often. other than that keep up the amazing work.

Hey man, loved reading all about your DA and everything you have achieved so far. I have listened to a couple of your songs and you are definitely talented. I can tell you have been putting in work this semester producing weekly content which is amazing. I love that you have been promoting your Spotify on Twitter often as well as on your Insta these are definitely key factors in having a good DA. I also liked that you incorporated your song getting featured on different accounts giving you confidence in your blog post as this is a key learning moment in your making process. The only suggestion I have would be to possibly lower the size of your images in your actual blog post just so it is a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Overall love your music keep it up.
