Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Understanding Records Second Edition
Book SynopsisThe revised edition of Understanding Records explains the musical language of recording practice in a way any interested reader and student can easily understand. Drawing on readily available hit records produced since 1945, each section of this book explains a handful of core production and engineering techniques in chronological record-making sequence, elucidates how those techniques work, what they sound like, how they function musically, where listeners can hear them at work in the broader Top 40 soundscape, and where they fit within the broader record-making process at large. As the only book to introduce music production and its practical elements with no assumed prior knowledge, the revised edition includes: Exclusive print and video interviews with emerging and established recordists, including: Alex Chuck Krotz (Drake, Three Days Grace, Mother Mother); Kevin O' Leary (Shawn Mendes, The Glorious Sons, Monster Truck); Alastair Sims (Rush, The Tragically Hip, Barenaked LaTrade ReviewUnique and recommended ...

Hodgson (Western Univ., Canada), an experienced audio recordist and talented musician, provides in-depth, easy-to-understand explanations of the complexities of audio recording and mixing … Everyone interested in studio or audio production, whether at high school or college level, needs this excellent book. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. * CHOICE *Understanding Records, Second Edition takes a very unique look at recording practice, and how to communicate what we hear when we listen to music. It breaks down and explores this extremely important part of music making like no other resource has done before, making this an invaluable field guide that everyone should read to take their skills in understanding music, and recording, to the next level! * Alex Krotz, Audio Engineer, Mixer, Editor, Producer, and Songwriter based in Toronto/Vancouver, Canada *Understanding Records provides a comprehensive toolbox for the listener who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of the processes that inform the construction of musical recordings and the factors that lie behind the effect they make. Now in a revised second edition, Hodgson’s accessible and highly readable exposition of recording practice remains a valuable resource for professional recordists and educators alike, as well as a great primer in music production for the generally interested reader. * Mark Marrington, Senior Lecturer in Music Production, York St John University, UK *There are certain texts in the field of music production analysis and pedagogy that lift the lid, so to speak, on the expected wisdom of a standardised train of thought. Hodgson’s updated book is exactly this. Whilst it does provide the reader some technical background in the field we work in, it draws upon, analyses, and portrays a vast array of different contemporary academic and professional thoughts and considerations. The author’s views express the musical artefact, the record, in a unique way and engaging way as a backdrop for the work. In this edition, the production process is totally updated with some excellent discussions around issues of our day such as loudness normalisation delivery and distribution. To those wishing to learn about the philosophy, not just the technology of record production, and to engage in meaningful discussion around the topic of the recorded medium, then this book isn’t just a field guide, it’s a mandatory thought provoker! * Russ Hepworth-Sawyer, Mastering Engineer, MOTTOsound, UK *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter One: Tracking Chapter Two: Signal Processing Chapter Three: Mixing Chapter Four: Mastering Chapter Five: Coda

University of Massachusetts Press Writing the Record: 'The Village Voice' and the
Book SynopsisDuring the mid-1960s, a small group of young journalists made it their mission to write about popular music, especially rock, as something worthy of serious intellectual scrutiny. Their efforts not only transformed the perspective on the era's music but revolutionised how Americans have come to think, talk, and write about popular music ever since.In Writing the Record, Devon Powers explores this shift by focusing on The Village Voice, a key publication in the rise of rock criticism. Revisiting the work of early pop critics such as Richard Goldstein and Robert Christgau, Powers shows how they stood at the front lines of the mass culture debates, challenging old assumptions and hierarchies and offering pioneering political and social critiques of the music. Part of a college-educated generation of journalists, Voice critics explored connections between rock and contemporary intellectual trends such as postmodernism, identity politics, and critical theory. In so doing, they became important forerunners of the academic study of popular culture that would emerge during the 1970s.Drawing on archival materials, interviews, and insights from media and cultural studies, Powers not only narrates a story that has been long overlooked but also argues that pop music criticism has been an important channel for the expression of public intellectualism. This is a history that is particularly relevant today, given the challenges faced by criticism of all stripes in our current media environment. Powers makes the case for the value of well-informed cultural criticism in an age when it is often suggested that everyone is a critic.

Quiller Publishing Ltd Have a Cigar!: The Memoir of the Man Behind Pink
Book SynopsisWhen the music impresario Bryan Morrison died aged 66 in 2008, after two years in a coma following a polo accident, he left behind his unpublished memoir. As a music publisher, manager and agent, Morrison had represented the Pretty Things, Pink Floyd, T. Rex, The Jam, Wham! and many others. He was also the founder and owner of the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club.In this candid and outspoken book, Morrison reveals the true stories behind why Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd once bit his finger to the bone, the Pretty Things were banned for life from New Zealand, and he became involved with the Kray Twins. He also tells how The Jam kissed goodbye to success in the USA, he received death threats when Robin Gibb left the Bee Gees, and signing a publishing deal with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as Wham! Spanning the golden age of British rock ’n’ roll from the 60s to the 80s, this is the extraordinary story of a cigar-chomping, East End entrepreneur, with a passion for art and design, fashion, music and polo. Trade ReviewFor me, reading ‘Have a Cigar’ was like finding a box in the loft that you had completely forgotten about which, upon opening, reveals treasures that have been locked away in your memory and transport you back in time... Even if you would not describe yourself as being a huge music fan, I defy you to not be gripped and sucked in by this cigar-chomping music impresario. -- Amanda Best * Haynet *The book is written in an easy to read, down to earth style and tells of a lifestyle that could have stepped straight off the pages of a Jilly Cooper novel... Given the sheer force of personality that shines through on the pages of the book, it seems unsurprising that Morrison was attracted to the world of polo. As he says, ‘A game of such intensity, skill, bravery and presence of mind that everything else pales into significance.’ I read the book in one sitting; it is an incredible insight into Morrison’s life and truly a privilege to have even a glimpse of the sheer force of nature he was as a businessman. -- Louise Broderick * Haynet *The book reveals the often cut-throat nature of the music business and the chaotic and often destructive lifestyles of those involved... Have a Cigar is a riveting read, bouncing through his music business deals, a brush with The Krays, Bill Gibbs’ fashion business disaster and Morrison’s dogged determination to stick with recording artists he believed in. -- Nigel Carr * Louder Than War *Have a Cigar! is a thrilling affair that takes the reader from the handy fists and feet of London's East End gangsters to the inner turmoil and confusion of Syd Barrett's by then Pink Floyd-less world. Morrison's account affords tremendous insight into the twilight world of the groups, the song publishing highs and lows, the gigs and parties; also putting a degree of flesh onto one or two particular stories, the skeletal bones of which are already known, especially to those who have geeked-out and freaked out to the myriad sounds that made up British psychedelia... It's an easy-going, hugely enjoyable read, the pages seemingly just turning by themselves as you wonder, eagerly awaiting to learn of what's going to happen next. -- Lenny Helsing * Shindig Magazine *Have a Cigar! [offers] something for those interested in the backroom machinations of the rock business. And it highlights a long gone time when charismatic solo wheelers and dealers – maybe with a bit of shady partnerships – could make struggling performers into stars. -- Bob Ruggiero * Houston Press *Bryan Morrison passed away following two years in a coma, but the publisher, manager and agent left the world with one final, unexpected gift: a candid, forthright memoir of a remarkable life. In Have a Cigar! The Memoir of the Man Behind Pink Floyd, T.Rex, The Jam and George Michael (Quiller Publishing, March 2020), Morrison shares tales of a unique life in the worlds of rock ‘n’ roll, fashion, design and polo. * Vinyl District *Table of ContentsIntroduction Prologue 1.
