Triple J Unearthed THE SHADEZTHE SHADEZ Live At SAE is a live performance by alternative rock band The Shadez. It is a high energy performance spanning across several genres that encapsulates the raw emotion and vibe of the band. The Shadez are a 5 piece band from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Taking influence from funk, rock and indie genres, their sound is a blend of catchy riffs, big choruses and toe-tapping melodies.

FACEBOOK DOGMA BANDThe project was a five-song EP recorded on SAE campus to be released online with potential for a later CD release. The band is a New Orleans back-line brass style party band from Sydney called DOGMA. All files are currently mastered to -14Lufs 44.1khz 24bit audio with a -1db peak which appears to be the standard across online streaming services. Regarding the overwhelming changes brought on by Covid19, my mentor and I decided it would be best to omit the submission of CD level masters in the final hand-in. The final submission also contains the mix files of each track as asked for by my mentor - however as this will be released later in the year the band has allowed for one song to be exhibited here as a teaser.

After 2 years of working together we have decided to combine our skills to craft our most polished audio portfolio. The first project is in partnership with the SAEʼs film department and is a modern take on Franz Schubert ʼs Death and the Maiden. The filmʼs soundscape will solely consist on our final version of this piece. Weʼve worked from recording to the mastering stage and hope you can enjoy the film with us. Alongside with this, weʼve worked with a diverse array of musicians to bring a colourful music portfolio spanning from indie rock to diverse jazz music.

I have composed, recorded, mixed and mastered a 4 track EP called ‘All Hail Apollo’. I was inspired by Lost Lands Music Festival, a dubstep show with many DJs on the lineup. I have used my compositional and audio skills to create melodies, design sounds and record vocals for every song. I am expressing a niche, yet unique genre that has been rising in popularity, mainly due to the sudden increase in global use of technology and social media.

YOUTUBE IB MADNESSIB Madness is a crazy and weird Youtube channel where we (myself and my friend Isobel) let our creativity flow. We create anything from music videos and skits, to fun challenges and informative videos in our house and on location. The reason I took on this project is that Isobel and I have been creating content together for over 5 years and considering the longevity of this channel we wanted to elevate our brand by creating a more refined brand identity and merchandise to grow our following. Along with creating a custom website and social media channels, I have created physical merchandise including: T-shirts, Tote bags, badges and keyrings personally made by us. Embrace the inner MADNESS.

We have chosen to also create a magazine for our outward facing element of the project so that our work can be displayed professionally and can be used as something we can show off to future employers. We work exceptionally well collaboratively and are hoping to continue working together as a group after graduation.

FARRAH DESIGNSPerfolia is a project dedicated to honing my skill set and launching myself as an independent designer when I graduate from SAE. The work I am creating for my own brand is mostly digital (website, social media presence) but also includes some print work (business cards). Beyond my own brand, I have been collaborating with a number of other student groups completing major projects, these are: ‘Untitled Platformer’ game, ‘Project Cerberus’ game, Red Wave Audio studio and ‘Welcome to the Kingdom’ Game. I have created the majority of all visual assets and characters for all games, as well as creating a brand identity for the audio group. I hope to continue my journey in the Games Industry as a designer after I graduate from SAE. All sounds for this game are original were created by Red Wave studio

TOTAL KATASTROPHETotal Katastrophe is a branding and marketing youtube channel of graphic design tutorials catering specifically to gamers who stream content online in places like Twitch, Mixer or Youtube. This is an emerging demographic of mostly younger users from all over the world. I noticed a need for this project while watching many videos of this kind and seeing great content, poorly realised. I hope to help other creators take-off faster with my help, as well as seeing my channel grow beyond SAE major project into something I can hopefully monetize later.
