Beck

On November 11, 2012, Beck took the stage at the Harvest Festival in Melbourne, Australia, showcasing his eclectic sound in a live setting. Right before this performance, he had released the album 'Song Reader' in 2012, an unconventional project that featured songs exclusively written as sheet music. This unique approach blurred the lines between traditional album releases and participatory music-making, allowing fans to interpret and perform the songs themselves. It’s interesting to note that, despite being known for his pioneering work in genres like alternative rock, folk, and hip hop, Beck has often challenged the expectations of music production and distribution. This performance came at a time when he was experimenting more, having taken a break from his usual album release cycle, leading to a refreshed and experimental sound in his live shows.
