Signature: QUT Verified Signature Date: April 2019 3 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Principal Supervisor Dr Gavin Carfoot for his continuous support of my PhD study and related research, patience, motivation and immense knowledge. I would also like to thank my External Supervisor Professor Andy Arthurs for his guidance through the early stages of this research and my Assistant Supervisor Dr John Wilstead for his help towards the end. I also acknowledge the support received by the QUT Creative Industries Higher Degrees Research team who guided me successfully through the PhD administration process, and the financial assistance I received through my scholarship. My research project would not have been possible without the participation and enthusiasm shown by all case study participants. In particular I would like to thank Sunnyboys’ band manager Tim Pittman, band members Peter Oxley and Richard Burgman and remastering engineer Rick O’Neil for all of their time and commitment shown towards my project. I would also like to thank Thomas Green, Darren Munt, Andrew Wass, Con Shacallis and Paul Francis for their involvement. We all shared a special moment of our adolescence together and the opportunity to reconnect after a 20-30 year period was a wonderful experience and result. I would also like to thank the contributions from Col Freeman, Dr Peter Wadsworth, Greg White and Geoffrey Lee who all provided depth and detail surrounding the production of the original recordings. Finally I would like to thank my family and friends for all of the love and support you have given me during this four-year endeavour. In particular, I would like to especially thank my wife and best friend Janice Holland who has been my rock and whose unconditional love made it possible for me to see this project through unto the end. 4 Table of Contents KEYWORDS ................................................................................................................................. 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP ............................................................................ 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................ 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS............................................................................................................. 5 TABLE OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................. 7 TABLE OF TABLES ................................................................................................................... 8 ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... 9 INTRODUCTION ......................................................................................................................... 10 PERSONAL BACKGROUND .................................................................................................................................... 10 THESIS PLAN – OUTLINE OF CHAPTERS ........................................................................................................... 13 CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW .................................................................................... 17 MASTERING AND REMASTERING – WHAT IS IT?

Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre. In J.-O. Gullö (Ed.), Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi (pp. 319-328). Stockholm: Royal College of Music (KMH) & Art of Record Production. Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Abstract Multi-channel sonic experience is derived from a myriad of technological processes, shaped by market forces, configured by creative decision makers and translated through audience taste preferences. From the failed launch of quadrophonic sound in the 1970s, through the currently limited, yet sustained niche market for 5.1 music releases, a select number of mix engineers and producers established paradigms for defining expanded sound stages. Whe- reas stereophonic mix practices in popular music became ever more codified during the 1970s, the relative paucity of multi-channel releases has preserved the individual sonic fingerprint of mixers working in surround sound. More- over, market forces have constricted their work to musical genres that appeal to the audiophile community that supports the format. This study examines the work of Elliot Scheiner, Bob Clearmountain, Giles Martin, and Steven Wilson to not only analyze the sonic signatures of their mixes, but to address how their conceptions of the soundstage become associated with specific genres, and serve to establish micro-genres of their own. I conclude by ar- guing that auteurs such as Steven Wilson have amassed an audience for their mixes, with a catalog that crosses genre boundaries, establishing a mode of listening that in itself represents an emergent genre – surround rock.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.

But not before she agreed to take a fl yer as an actress with a guest shot on the hit tele vi- sion sitcom Ugly Betty. It seemed like a harm- Aless diversion from all the drama and pressure in her life. She reasoned, how hard could it be to play herself? In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele. Th ere is some harmless banter and the next thing we know Adele is up on stage singing the song “Right As Rain.” Adele realized that that kind of promotion in America was well worth the eff ort, but would later acknowledge in Vogue that the Ugly Betty experience cured her of any future acting aspirations. “I can’t watch it. I was so uncomfortable. I am the worst actress of all time.” But Adele was thankful for the momentary respite from Marc Shapiro her day job as singer-songwriter on the rise.
