Raphael Ong: Last News

Courtney Barnett has launched an interactive stem mixer on her website that allows fans to adjust songs from her forthcoming album ‘Things Take Time, Take Time‘.The player, which operates similarly to Kanye West‘s previously announced DONDA stem player, enables users to “listen & play around” with tracks from Barnett’s third album.So far the player, which was built and designed by Raphael Ong and Sean Lim, allows for people to alter ‘Rae Street‘, ‘Before You Gotta Go‘ and ‘Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To‘, which are the only songs released from the album to date.

Courtney Barnett has launched a new website and archival project that documents the songwriter’s live performances over the last decade and a half.The new site allows fans to extensively explore Barnett’s prolific touring history, featuring live videos, full concert desk mixes, backstage photos, show posters and more.Originally conceived as a simple way for fans to experience her live performances while touring was on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, the project expanded with the help of designer Raphael Ong and developers Undertide.Barnett added that the project was largely inspired by the “meticulous and inquisitive archival skills” of her mother, who has been keeping a list of all her daughter’s shows since 2007.
