Those projects serve as vehicles for band promotions, CD releases, or artistic creations by artists. These are the ones most relevant to my research, although some of their features focus more on generative music and soundscape design. Björk Projects Among the music apps released by musicians, Björk’s projects stand out—one is an application linked to an album but also designed as a creative tool for making music with the sounds from the album. https://serendip.peckels.com/30literaturereview/handdrawngames/ Thu, 19 Nov 2020 09:17:29 +0100 https://serendip.peckels.com/30literaturereview/handdrawngames/ Because of the choice to use a hand-drawn animated video clip, it’s worth providing a few examples of hand-drawn games and apps, although this doesn’t strictly fall within the scope of this research (cf. further references and examples of the difficulties1 of mixing hand-drawn and digital art).
