A final reflective account of this unit

I have learnt a lot through this semester’s ‘Introduction to music production’course. Through the songs of the RZA, I have found that film and video sampling can be very organic to the current context of the black community, while MoorMother’s approach to music production challenges traditional songwriting conventions by using sound as a means of …
