Contemporary Music Production

[2007] buy

Interviewed in their native stomping grounds (i.e. studios overflowing with equipment), each artist is given a once over by a faceless host whose questions appear as text on the screen. Whilst this initially seems a little clinical, it soon reveals itself to be an advantageous approach – allowing the various contributors to elaborate and expand on their answers without the constant interruptions of a verbose host; meaning the viewer gets to hear what they want, as opposed to some overtly structured series of quips. Each of the featured artists get a grilling on the subject of how their music comes about, from instrument choices, compositional approach and general production tips.
