As audio production skills such as recording, editing, and mixing are increasingly co-opted by musicians teaching themselves in their do-it-yourself DIY recording studios, conventions of how music production is taught and practiced are remixed to reflect this reality.
Dawn of the DAW first examines DIY recording practices within the context of recording history from the late nineteenth century to the present. Second, Dawn of the DAW discusses the concept of "the studio as musical instrument" and the role of the producer, detailing how these constructs have evolved throughout the history of recorded music in tandem. Third, Dawn of the DAW details current practices of DIY recording--how recording technologies are incorporated into music making, and how they are learned by DIY studio users in the musically--chic borough of Brooklyn.
Finally, Dawn of the DAW examines the broader trends heard throughout, summarizing the different models of learning and approaches to music making. Dawn of the DAW concludes by discussing the ramifications of these new directions for the field of music education. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure—figures such as The Shaggs, Syd Barrett, Tiny Tim, Jandek, Captain Beefheart, Daniel Johnston, Harry Partch, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy—and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies.
It explores his year professional career in great depth, with special attention paid to the equipment and techniques he used, and the effect that his work had on the people around him. Also included are links to stream a newly restored and remastered version of Meek's legendary stereo album about life on the Moon, I Hear a New World, made available in its original form for the first time. This Second Edition of Joe Meek's Bold Techniques updates the edition with a new Introduction, new information, an additional chapter, and newly restored audio.
Known for his echoing, distorted pop songs--everyone knows his big hit 'Telstar'--Meek was a pioneer in close-miking, freelance engineering, home studio running, and a million other aspects of recording that we take for granted these days. Barry even went as far as to locate and remaster Meek's long-lost masterpiece, I Hear a New World, which is included. This book really opened my eyes to what an innovator Joe Meek was. Everyone reading Tape Op would enjoy it!
The Avengers Author : Robert F. Both are based on the harsh realities of life as it was lived on the western frontier in the late s and early s. His revenge came in a surprising manner. To merely kill was never enough to satisfy his never-ending lust for blood.
He needed to prolong the death of his victims so he could watch their suffering, misery, and pain as long as he could. He wanted to see them die a slow lingering death, especially if they were Indians. Like many frontiersmen, he believed the only good Indian was a dead Indian, including squaws and babies, so he killed as many as he could. It also offers a fascinating insight into half a century of pop, spanning the Fifties pub scene of South Wales, the glitzy resort hotels of Eighties Vegas and a triumphant period of personal reinvention for a whole new generation of Jones fans at the start of the 21st century.
This highly readable biography finally separates truth from myth to reveal the flesh-and-blood man behind the legend. Joe Meek was an iconoclastic British recording innovator who was also, among other things, a paranoid schizophrenic homosexual speed freak who believed he was in psychic communication with Buddy Holly and who murdered his landlady with a shotgun before shooting himself in Nice technically focused biography of Joe Meek By Ricard Wanderlof Having recently re-discovered "Telstar" the song, not the movie since my childhood days, I've been getting more and more intrigued by Joe Meek.
First of all, with the printed book, you get a CD with Meek's "I hear a new world", remastered by the author. I ordered the Kindle edition and wondered about the CD, obviously is was not going to be included in an electronic version. Quite simply, there are a bunch of MP3 links at the end of the book to the author's own site with the files, so yes, it is included in the electronic version too, a nice touch.
I found the book very interesting. Just as the title says, it focuses on the techniques and technologies that Meek used, in fact there's almost a bit too much focus on exactly which tape recorders etc he owned and used. In complement there is a substantial amount of biographical information too, as well as analyses of several of Meek's productions, including "I hear a new world" and "Telstar". Being an amateur musician and sound tinkerer, as well as an electrical engineer by profession, I found it all very interesting.
The book nicely balances the raison-d'etre of Meek, namely his producing and recording skills, with biographical background information to give a complete picture. A final note: if you are planning to watch "Telstar - the movie", I'd suggest reading a biography such as Cleveland's first. There are lots of subtle references in the film that will pass you by otherwise, and on its own the film doesn't paint a pretty picture of a man who was indeed a genius.
