Music in Exile
Music in Exile is a not-for-profit record label and registered charity supporting musicians with lived experience of migration and displacement who are living and working in the Australian music industry.
The website gives Music in Exile a flexible platform built to grow with its artists and community, sharing music, live events and merchandise in one place.
Each artist has a dedicated page that doubles as their own site. A custom CMS lets the team spin up new artist pages, and connects to event APIs to pull live event information automatically — keeping the site current with no manual upkeep.
The visual approach reflects the organisation's energetic, idiosyncratic identity. The palette was drawn directly from existing record covers, posters and artwork — treating the site as a continuation of work already made, not a departure from it. Motion runs throughout in hover states, page transitions and embedded video, giving the interface the same momentum as the music.
The Music in Exile visual identity is by Rochelle Oh, Liz Luby and Rick Milovanovic.
