  • Producer, Engineer, Mixer Phil Ek, Producer of Artists
    Rebekah Ratlif 9/12/2011 Demo Production Phil Ek: Producer, Engineer, Mixer Phil Ek, producer of artists such as The Shins, Modest Mouse, Fleet Foxes, and Band of Horses, prides himself on filling three roles of the music production process: producer, engineer, and mixer. It’s fair to say that he is successful in all three areas. In the nineties Ek moved to Seattle after graduating high school and started in the clubs of Seattle where he worked as an audio engineer. After working for a year and a half, he moved on to recording small demos for anyone that came to him. He would record three song demos on cassette so the artists could try to get gigs in clubs and venues. Ek then attended the Art Institute of Seattle to study recording. During this time he met John Endino, producer of Nirvana, and ended up assisting him in his studios. During his time with Endino and recording demos at Sub Pop records he met members of the band Built to Spill. Ek, creating a good relationship with the band, was asked to record their record “There’s Nothing Wrong with Love” which went on to reach #24 on Pitchfork’s Top 100 albums of the 1990s. Ever since recording that album, Ek has been unstoppable, recording several other Built to Spill records, two number one albums in the US, and two in the US top 40. The Role of the Producer The idea of what a producer actually does could be diferent for many people, depending on their perspective in or outside of the music industry.

This song was performed as part of a medley during the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest, which was held in its performer's native (*) Denmark. The band that released this song followed it up with the single "Lollipop." The ​ aforementioned lawsuit over this 1997 song objected to its use of the phrase "blonde bimbo." Another part of this song tells the listener that if they say "I'm always yours," they can both “touch” and “play.” The title figure is told "let's go party" in, for 10 points, what song by Aqua?

Doch ihre Musik ist kein Klischee. VON CHRISTOPH DALLACH Das neue Album der Fleet Foxes sei „vermutlich eher lang - Hommage an die Schönklänge der späten sechziger und frühen weilig“, warnt Robin Pecknold. Eine „nicht wirklich eingängige“ siebziger Jahre. Die „Zeit von 1965 bis ungefähr 1972“ sei die Sammlung von Songs, und „Hits“ seien da schon gar nicht drauf. „beste für Musik“ gewesen, sagt Pecknold, und zwar, weil sie da - Wer trotzdem neugierig auf das Album namens „Helplessness mals nahezu frei von überflüssiger Technik gewesen sei. „Modi - Blues“ sei, solle es sich halt im Internet runterladen – ohne dafür sche Produktionen haben viele tolle Lieder und Platten ruiniert, zu zahlen, selbstverständlich.

University of Central Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis examines contemporary folk music from no earlier than 2006, specifically music of the bands The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, and Bon Iver. Providing a close reading of select songs, I prove that modern music is seeing a revival in the Romantic Era and Transcendentalist ideals and philosophy. The works and philosophy of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), William Wordsworth (1770-1850), John Keats (1795-1821), as well as Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), among others and their critics are all considered for points of comparison to the modern lyrics.
