Visual Communication Design, 2023

Listening to local music is a valuable and rewarding way to engage with our communities. By listening to local music, we gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and richness of the world around us and help to sustain local artistic communities, which are often essential parts of a vibrant and thriving cultural landscape.

Fuse is a brand focused on providing a resource for music discovery that showcases emerging artists and explores the intersection of music and culture. The goal is to encourage exploration, experimentation, and risk-taking, as Fuse pushes the boundaries of your listening experience and opens up new frontiers in music discovery. The brand fosters a sense of community and collaboration among its participants, giving you the opportunity to share your own discoveries, experiences, and perspectives on the music you uncover.
