Joining the likes of Snoop Dogg, Madonna and Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, Australia’s very own Gotye can now be added to the growing list of music artists using Google+.
To kick off his time on Google+, last week Gotye hosted a Hangout along with Triple J’s Lindsay McDougall. He was able to video chat with five fans about everything from creating the ultimate mixtape to developing song concepts while taking out the compost. Ever wondered what kind of instruments Australia’s chart-topping, creative genius used in the making of his gold-selling album Making Mirrors, or what kind of books he keeps on his bookshelf? You can catch highlights on the video Sydney Opera House has just posted to their channel.
With Google+, you now have a new way to share and discover creative stuff online. You can form artistic communities, promote your own work, and find inspiration through other artists. Here are just a few, to start. You can even use Google+ photos to showcase your own work, and create personalised recommendations for the things you care about.
And Hangouts are a great way to relax and stay connected virtually with friends when you’re online. Musicians like Gotye use them to connect with fans. And there are budding communities that are jumping on hangouts to share similar interests, like photography.
To keep up to date on the latest with Gotye, be sure to add him to your circles.
