Summary

Having been long fascinated by interactive projects in popular music, I dedicated my masters thesis to exploring its state in music culture. The hope was to use my research to inform a product that would help the interactive media become more prevalent in music. My research eventually resulted in LEV, a platform where artists can design and publish interactive projects. In this case study, I present my research areas and findings as well as the concept development and UI design of LEV.
