About Home Recording Footage

Home recordings are windows into the most private moments of the creative process — demos recorded in bedrooms, four-track experiments, and early versions of songs that would later be transformed by professional studios. These clips capture the spark before the polish.

The 2010s in Music

The 2010s saw streaming become the dominant way people consumed music, while social media transformed how artists connected with fans. Kendrick Lamar, Adele, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, and Tame Impala were among the decade’s most important artists. The proliferation of smartphones meant that nearly every moment could be filmed — but ironically, much of this footage is buried in social media feeds and stories that disappear within hours. The clips in this archive capture the behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the highlight reels.
