PRODUCTION GYM — 862 words across 2 speakers (14 wpm). Insufficient instructional content for a summary.
-
We covered Leonard Cohen's classic song Hallelujah. We looked at the arrangement, the production, the instrumentation, and the structure. We discussed ideas around what kinds of production sounded dated to some of our ears, and how it sounds different against covers of the song. Participants had the option of listening to Jeff Buckley's cover or Rufus Wainwright's cover to compare and contrast how production can change a song along with instrumentation and performance.
-
We shared a production breakdown of The Doors "People Are Strange'. We talked about instrumentation, arrangement, structure, and production techniques- panning- close miking- even the choice of musicians and how that can change a recording. We also spent some time contrasting the Echo and The Bunnymen cover of the same song, to see how 1967 sounded agains 1988! We noted production and structural changes, as well as changes to the arrangement and parts.
All resident events are included with your Beat Kitchen Residency.
