I have designed an original soundscape that is based upon ideas and understandings learnt throughout the semester, based on diversity and inclusion. After much research and evaluation I transformed my understandings into sound, whereby listeners can escape into a world that embraces the beauty of diversity. I chose a contrasting range of textures in order to elevate the core focus on diversity, including the underlying rainforest sample, which immediately provides the listener with a setting - that is a representation of the real world that we live in. I wanted to incorporate a sense of life, reality and evolution.

With my western understanding of music and structure the A harmonic minor scale brings a Middle Eastern tone into the mix. The structure is based upon a western structure, AABA - also known as pop song form. The ‘chorus’, or B section of the song transposes from the harmonic minor scale, into C Major, with embellishments on the Gb (giving it a bluesy and soulful tone). With these combining elements in the chorus the song, in a sense, comes together. This is my way of portraying inclusivity, where all the diverse sounds and tonal elements that make you feel somewhat on edge or uncomfortable can come together and feel included - therefore also making sense to the ear tonally. Aside from the harmonic and structural elements of the piece, I have also taken genre into account. I began writing from a film-esk point of view, and then moved into the world of electronica, experimenting with stretching and distorting the sounds as far as they can go. The chorus is a mix of soulful, electronic pop – a conventional repeating chorus with an electronic synth and gospel choir to incorporate a sense of celebration. Finally, as the second verse comes in I added a simple kick and snare, with a rock style mix. This makes them sound strong and hearty, providing a new attitude that sounds motivational. Finally, I sampled the parts of Wendy Night Agard’s Ted talk speech, focusing on diversity, inclusion and belonging from the inside out.

Say It Like You Mean It

Shed Light

Lyrics aren't making too much sense, I was kind of improvising upon the dangerous idea bc it fit so well to the melody! Keen to expand on this.

Dangerous (DEMO 1)

Had so much fun singing the harmonies for this track!

Heavenly Father - COVER (demo 1)

This was my first ever finished demo track! It’s cool to see how far my production has come since I made this, but I still like the song itself! Hope you like too.

Possibilities (DEMO 1)

Another old track that I haven’t returned to for a while. The song structure and its ideas are there, but the production is not up to date. Excited to come back to this and work on it more.

I wont break (DEMO 1)

Mozë is an English-born, Australian self-produced artist who began exploring her sound during the 2020 lockdowns. Inspired by Lianne La Havas, Carole King, James Blake, and Kimbra, she writes and produces music in her home studio in Wangaratta. Moze has opened for Odette, Woodes, Yergurl, Ivey, Kaitlin Keegan, performed at the Palais Theatre, and toured with Kylie Auldist.

Her music is a fusion of imaginative worlds and twisted optimism, garnished with melodic adventures. She transforms her emotions into tangible expressions of art that make a moment last forever. Being that her name is Zoe, her artist name is a playful nod to her dyslexia, where music has empowered her to develop art in a way that makes sense to her and share a different perspective to listeners.
