  • SUN STUDIO Inspelningsteknik Och Sound
    Högskoleexamen SUN STUDIO Inspelningsteknik och sound Författare: Jacob Montén Handledare: Karin Eriksson Examinator: Karin Larsson Eriksson Termin: HT 2019 Ämne: Musikvetenskap Nivå: Högskoleexamen Kurskod: 1MV706 Abstrakt Detta är en uppsats som handlar om Sun Studio under 1950 talet i USA, hur studion kom till och om dess grundare Sam Phillips och de tekniska tillgångarna och begränsningar som skapade ”soundet” för Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ike Turner och många fler. Sam Phillips producerade många tidlösa inspelningar med ljudkaraktäristiska egenskaper som eftertraktas än idag. Med hjälp av litteratur-, ljud- och bildanalys beskriver jag hur musikern och producenten bakom musiken skapade det så kallade ”Sun Soundet”. Ett uppvaknande i musikvärlden för den afroamerikanska musiken hade skett och ingen skulle få hindra Phillips från att göra den hörd. För att besvara mina frågeställningar har texter, tidigare forskning och videomaterial analyserats. Genom den hermeneutiska metoden har intervjumaterial och dokumentärer varit en viktig källa i denna studie. Nyckelord Sun Records, Sam Phillips, Slapback Echo, Soundet, Sun Studio, Analog Tack Stort tack till min handledare Karin Eriksson för den feedback och stöd jag har fått under arbetets gång.
