This project was created as a part of Semester 6 Final Year Project module. 

​

Created as part of final year project, the branding project titled "The Musichronicle" sets to investigate the slow-growing orchestral culture in Malaysia. As classical musicians are actively performing in large venues and celebrated festivals, orchestra performances are something hard to get by, metaphorically - general public still did not show much enthusiasm towards orchestral music, let alone live orchestra.

​

Thus, a documentary photograph and video assignment was set to archive moments of behind-the-scene orchestra-making by fellow musicians from Monash Chamber Orchestra. The five weeks of compiled artefacts was then put together as a book and film to showcase the daring journey and sacrifice made for their second annual concert on 14th September 2018, titled "Unlock: World of Wonders".
