ARSNK

Case Study

Project/Role Overview

Title: Electronic Music Producer (ARSNK)
Company: Independent Project
Date & Duration: 2016 – Present

 

Summary
ARSNK is my personal project in electronic music. I create tracks that span UK Garage, dubstep, trap, house, funk, and hip hop — starting out in my bedroom during high school and continuing today from my apartment. While not my primary career focus, ARSNK has been the foundation of my creative journey, shaping my sense of rhythm, sound, and storytelling.

 

Context & Problem

I began producing music as a teenager with minimal resources, driven by curiosity and passion. Over time, ARSNK became my creative sandbox — a place to experiment with genres, refine technical skills, and explore self-expression. Though I don’t perform often, the project remains a personal outlet that fuels my growth as a media creator.

 

Role & Responsibilities

  • Composed, arranged, mixed, and mastered original music independently.

  • Explored multiple genres to expand my creative range.

  • Taught myself DAWs and plugins, transitioning from GarageBand to Logic Pro X and finally to Ableton Live in 2020.

  • Used Maschine and third-party plugins (Izotope, Native Instruments, Xfer, etc.) to enhance sound design.

 

Process

  • Started making beats in my bedroom during high school, then continued in my college dorm room, and now in my apartment living room.

  • Built my workflow around Ableton Live, integrating Maschine for sketching ideas and refining them in the DAW.

  • Treated the project as a long-term evolution, experimenting with both finished tracks and works-in-progress.

 

Solution & Deliverables

  • A personal catalog of unreleased and in-progress electronic music.

  • Demo tracks reflecting experimentation across multiple genres.

  • An upcoming larger project I plan to share within the next 1–2 years.

 

Results & Impact

  • Developed a strong ear for audio processing and rhythm, which directly enhances my video editing work.

  • Secured an opportunity to play at Dancefestopia in 2024 (declined due to professional touring commitments as a videographer/photographer).

  • Maintained ARSNK as a creative outlet that balances my professional media work with personal expression.

 

Reflection

ARSNK has always been about passion and growth. It gave me the foundation to understand audio deeply, which continues to influence how I edit and produce video content. While not my primary career focus, ARSNK is an ongoing passion project that keeps me connected to creativity for its own sake — and it will continue to evolve as both my music and media skills grow.​
