Music - art - technology - innovation

On the rising crest of new media digital technologies, Australian art-rock band The Honey Palace burst onto the global music scene with what was truly the consummate art students dream come true and deemed a world first of its kind. By combining multiple art mediums including illustration/painted art/music/film/poetry/prose onto one double sided interactive disc along with new technologies then adding capabilities to launch from that disc onto the internet to access further content was really an exciting break through in delivering a total multi-media experience to the general public. The final result was an explorative and vibrant new album that was acknowledged as a world first. Utilising DVD+ (dual disc) technology, 5.1 surround sound, audio, contextual films with interactive menus all packaged up in a highly illustrated package the brand new album was an epic and unique art piece and likened to a 21st century poetry book titled Have you seen love?

 

The next step was another uniqu opportunity to work alongside a cutting edge team of online programers at the then KaZaA HQ in North Sydeny to help establish a clear platform for the legal purchace and distribution of digital rights managed song files globally. This led to The Honey Palace signing Australia's first online DRM distribution deal and initiated ongoing development with coders and implementing new magnet links and code into the bands website. Up and running well before the first official iTunes store had opened in Australia the timing proved to be the perfect 'digital art media music storm' that would later help form the basis of the next global digital music distribution and purchacing models.
