Aries Moross is a music designer who has made a name for herself by pushing boundaries in her creative field. As a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion in the music industry, she aims to break down barriers and challenge traditional norms through her work.
As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the music industry, one question remains at the forefront of every artist's mind: how can we create a more inclusive space where creatives from all walks of life can thrive? For Aries Moross, this is not just a question – it's a calling. As a designer and advocate for change, Aries has dedicated their career to crafting a more equitable music industry that celebrates diversity in every aspect.
At the heart of Aries' design philosophy lies a deep understanding of the power of aesthetics. "Aesthetic decisions are never neutral," they argue. "They carry with them histories, politics, and cultural values that shape our experiences." In the context of music production, this means that the way we design and interact with digital audio workstations (DAWs), plugins, and other software tools can have a profound impact on an artist's creative process. For Aries, designing for music is not just about creating visually appealing interfaces – it's about creating tools that amplify underrepresented voices.
One of the most significant challenges facing the music industry today is the lack of diversity in its design teams. "The people who make the products we use to create our music are often white, male, and educated," Aries notes. "This leads to a siloed perspective that neglects the needs of marginalized communities." To combat this, Aries has dedicated their career to creating inclusive design principles that prioritize accessibility, usability, and emotional resonance. Whether it's designing intuitive interfaces or crafting plugins that reflect the diversity of the music we love, Aries' commitment to inclusivity is unwavering.
Aries' vision for a more inclusive music industry extends far beyond the realm of design alone. It requires a fundamental shift in how we think about creativity, innovation, and collaboration. "The music industry has traditionally been driven by a 'winner-takes-all' mentality," Aries observes. "This can lead to a focus on individual success at the expense of community building." In contrast, Aries envisions an industry that celebrates collaboration, mutual support, and collective growth. By fostering a culture of inclusivity and empathy, we can create a music ecosystem that lifts up every artist, regardless of their background or experience.
At the heart of this vision lies Nicer Tuesdays – a community-driven initiative dedicated to promoting inclusive design and conversation in the music industry. "Nicer Tuesdays is all about creating space for underrepresented voices to be heard," Aries explains. "We invite artists, designers, and industry leaders to share their insights and experiences on how we can create a more inclusive music industry."
