SAE Magazine 12-2

n Niwun is a Drum & Bass producer and DJ from Perth, a city that has often been labelled the bass music capital of Australia. An interest in rhythms, groove and the texture of sound has resulted in compelling music that not only draws influence from science fiction films and other cinematic sources, but also a range of other music, varying from relat- ed styles such as drumfunk and neurofunk through to other genres, including heavy metal, hip hop and more. The man behind the name is Michael Unwin, a graduate of both the Certificate III in Music and Diploma of Sound Production in Perth, and SAE Alumni member. Michael now works as the Digi- tal Arts Officer for the City of Swan and part-time technician at ABC. We caught up with him to find out what he’s been up to, and to hear all about his latest two releases under Ruin Me Records. What course did you study at SAE/Qantm (campus)? Why did you choose this course? And what was your favourite part of your course, and why? To begin with I took the Electronic Music Produc- tion (EMP) course. This was an excellent intro- duction and it really sparked my interest in and a passion for everything associated with producing electronic music. My favourite part of this course was presenting my final assignment. We chose a genre and covered its history, evolution, and pro- duction methods. As part of this we selected an ex- ample and interviewed the producer(s) who made it, so being a long time lover of drum & bass music, it was really exciting and a huge eye opener to be able to interview Shockone and Phetsta, discuss their production methods and their outlook on the music industry. Eventually, around six months after completing the EMP course I decided to leave full-time work and pursue a Diploma in Sound Production so that I could learn more. ➤ +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun +++ News +++ Perth Alumni Showcas PerthCampusNews Perth Alumni Showcase: Niwun The man behind Niwun, Michael Unwin 244 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // Intercontinental NEWS Index
