Beyond Bourke Street: Melbourne Buskers in the Digital World

Street musicians are part of Melbourne's music ecosystem but are underrepresented in academic studies about the local cultural scene. This practice-based thesis documents and analyses street music in Melbourne, exploring the landscape of busking in both offline and online environments. The project used the theoretical and methodological framework described in cultural mapping, which is presented through a portfolio of multimedia journalism, including podcasting, videography, and music curation.
