Transformational learning resulted from the phenomenological study which investigated tempi, vari-speed, beat-mixing and breakdowns in a new context. Song structure changed as a result of beat-mixing the album and this divergent structure included the addition of the EDM breakdown to the Rock composition. The following research questions provided the means of investigation and the opportunity to validate the effectiveness of the album: How can Rock music implement EDM’s structural fluidity to create an album in the form of a DJ set? How do Rock audiences read the ClubRock set as a Rock album? The inclusion of rhythmic sections at the beginning and end of each song created a ‘DJ friendly’ environment to beat-mix the album. DJ techniques created immediacy in the recordings and transformed static renditions into a fluid creative work. The outcome is the album the Manarays-Get Lucky. Through collaboration between a number of DJs and Rock music professionals the research applied the process of beat-mixing to blend Rock tracks to produce a continuous ClubRock set. The term used in this thesis to refer to the application of beat-mixing in Rock music is ‘ClubRock’. The purpose of this research is to explore the proposition that EDM’s beat-mixing function can be implemented to create immediacy in Rock music. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) on the other hand through beat-mixing has created an extended structure. Rock music has generally employed a static pop music song structure.
