Reflection
The Darkscapes project has provided me with an opportunity to further hone my skills as a creative producer, composer, sound designer and audio engineer. I feel that I’ve been able to demonstrate a versatile and multidisciplinary music and audio skillset through the creation of the project and accompanying blog. I did experience certain setbacks however, such as having to adapt the mixes for Binaural playback instead of the 5.1 Surround Sound which I had originally envisioned. Overall, the project has elevated my creative practise and I feel I have produced a creative, distinct, and idiosyncratic body of work.
