In the Studio: the Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006)
21 In the Studio: The Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006) John Covach I want this record to be perfect. Meticulously perfect. Steely Dan-perfect. -Dave Grohl, commencing work on the Foo Fighters 2002 record One by One When we speak of popular music, we should speak not of songs but rather; of recordings, which are created in the studio by musicians, engineers and producers who aim not only to capture good performances, but more, to create aesthetic objects. (Zak 200 I, xvi-xvii) In this "interlude" Jon Covach, Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, provides a clear introduction to the basic elements of recorded sound: ambience, which includes reverb and echo; equalization; and stereo placement He also describes a particularly useful means of visualizing and analyzing recordings. The student might begin by becoming sensitive to the three dimensions of height (frequency range), width (stereo placement) and depth (ambience), and from there go on to con sider other special effects. One way to analyze the music, then, is to work backward from the final product, to listen carefully and imagine how it was created by the engineer and producer. To illustrate this process, Covach provides analyses .of two songs created by famous producers in different eras: Steely Dan's "Josie" and Phil Spector's "Da Doo Ron Ron:' Records, tapes, and CDs are central to the history of rock music, and since the mid 1990s, digital downloading and file sharing have also become significant factors in how music gets from the artists to listeners. Live performance is also important, and some groups-such as the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and more recently Phish and Widespread Panic-have been more oriented toward performances that change from night to night than with authoritative versions of tunes that are produced in a recording studio.

ROCK'n'roll's 1ST DECADE Week
ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week One: The Roots of Rock Recommended Listening: The Delmore Brothers, Freight Train Boogie (Ace, 1993). Country-boogie songs from 1946-51 by this brother duo, whose more uptempo material was not only some of the finest country music of the era, but an important building block of rockabilly and early rock & roll. Fats Domino, The Early Imperial Singles 1950-1952 (Ace, 1996 & 1997). Thorough collections of the first few years or so of singles by the most important early New Orleans rock'n'roll star, whose singles of the early 1950s weren't all that different from the pop hits he had after rock took off. The Drifters, Let the Boogie-Woogie Roll: Greatest Hits 1953-1958 (Atlantic, 1988). Perhaps the most consistent, and certainly one of the most important, of the doo wop groups that had their first success prior to 1955. This has their mid-1950s R&B hits, some of them featuring lead singer Clyde McPhatter. The Drifters who had numerous early soul hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s had entirely different personnel, and were linked to this version of the group only by the trademark name. Bill Haley & His Comets, Rock the Joint! The Original Essex Recordings 1951-1954 (Rollercoaster, 1992). Bill Haley & His Comets were the first white band to fuse rhythm and blues with country music into something recognizable as rock'n'roll, and were doing so for four years before "Rock Around the Clock" became the first huge rock hit. This has those early recordings, including one from 1952 ("Rock the Joint") quite similar to "Rock Around the Clock," and his first single to become a Top Twenty pop hit, 1953's "Crazy, Man, Crazy." John Lee Hooker, The Legendary Modern Recordings 1948- 1954 (Flair/Virgin, 1993).

INFORMATIONEN Mit insgesamt annähernd dreihundert Einzeltiteln beschreibt der Blueshistoriker und Musikwissenschaftler Bill Dahl aus Chicago die bislang umfassendste Geschichte des elektrischen Blues von seinen Anfängen in den späten 1930er Jahren bis in das aktuelle Jahrtausend. Bevor in den Dreißigerjahren Tonabnehmersysteme, erste primitive Verstärker und Beschallungssysteme und schließ- lich mit Gibsons ES-150 ein elektrisches Gitarren-Serienmodell entwickelt wurde, spielte die erste Generation der Gitarrenpioniere im Blues in den beiden Jahrzehnten vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf akustischen Instrumenten. Doch erst mit Hilfe der elektrischen Verstärkung konnten sich Gitarristen und Mundharmonikaspielern gegenüber den Pianisten, Schlagzeugern und Bläsern in ihrer Band behaupten, wenn sie für ihre musikalischen Höhenflüge bei einem Solo abheben wollten. Auf zwölf randvollen CDs, jeweils in einem Dreier-Set in geschmackvollen und vielfach aufklappbaren Digipacks, hat Bill Dahl die wichtigsten und etliche nahezu in Vergessenheit geratene Beispiele für die bedeutendste Epoche in der Geschichte des Blues zusammengestellt.
