  • Resolution May/June 08 V7.4.Indd
    craft Horn and Downes briefl y joined legendary prog- rock band Yes, before Trevor quit to pursue his career as a producer. Dollar and ABC won him chart success, with ABC’s The Lexicon Of Love giving the producer his fi rst UK No.1 album. He produced Malcolm McLaren and introduced the hitherto-underground world of scratching and rapping to a wider audience, then went on to produce Yes’ biggest chart success ever with the classic Owner Of A Lonely Heart from the album 90125 — No.1 in the US Hot 100. Horn and his production team of arranger Anne Dudley, engineer Gary Langan and programmer JJ Jeczalik morphed into electronic group Art Of Noise, recording startlingly unusual-sounding songs like Beat Box and Close To The Edit. In 1984 Trevor pulled all these elements together when he produced the epic album Welcome To The Pleasuredome for Liverpudlian bad-boys Frankie Goes To Hollywood. When Trevor met his wife, Jill Sinclair, her brother John ran a studio called Sarm. Horn worked there for several years, the couple later bought the Island Records-owned Basing Street Studios complex and renamed it Sarm West. They started the ZTT imprint, to which many of his artists such as FGTH were signed, and the pair eventually owned the whole gamut of production process: four recording facilities, rehearsal and rental companies, a publisher (Perfect Songs), engineer and producer management and record label. A complete Horn discography would fi ll the pages of Resolution dedicated to this interview, but other artists Trevor has produced include Grace Jones, Propaganda, Pet Shop Boys, Band Aid, Cher, Godley and Creme, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, David Coverdale, Simple Minds, Spandau Ballet, Eros Ramazzotti, Mike Oldfi eld, Marc Almond, Charlotte Church, t.A.T.u, LeAnn Rimes, Lisa Stansfi eld, Belle & Sebastian and Seal.

  • An Incredible New Sound for Engineers
    An Incredible New Sound for Engineers Bruce Swedien comments on the recording techniques and production HIStory of Michael Jackson's latest album by Daniel Sweeney "HIStory" In The Making Increasingly, the launch of a new Michael Jackson collection has taken on the dimensions of a world event. Lest this be doubted, the videos promoting the King of Pop's latest effort, "HIStory", depict him with patently obvious symbolism as a commander of armies presiding over monster rallies of impassioned followers. But whatever one makes of hoopla surrounding the album, one can scarcely ignore its amazing production values and the skill with which truly vast musical resources have been brought to bear upon the project. Where most popular music makes do with the sparse instrumentation of a working band fleshed out with a bit of synth, "HIStory" brings together such renowned studio musicians and production talents as Slash, Steve Porcaro, Jimmy Jam, Nile Rodgers, plus a full sixty piece symphony orchestra, several choirs including the Andrae Crouch Singers, star vocalists such as sister Janet Jackson and Boys II Men, and the arrangements of Quincy Jones and Jeremy Lubbock. Indeed, the sheer richness of the instrumental and vocal scoring is probably unprecedented in the entire realm of popular recording. But the richness extends beyond the mere density of the mix to the overall spatial perspective of the recording. Just as Phil Spector's classic popular recordings of thirty years ago featured a signature "wall of sound" suggesting a large, perhaps overly reverberant recording space, so the recent recordings of Michael Jackson convey a no less distinctive though different sense of deep space-what for want of other words one might deem a "hall of sound".

    Digital Developments 70’s - 80’s Hybrid Synthesis “GROOVE” • In 1967, Max Mathews and Richard Moore at Bell Labs began to develop Groove (Generated Realtime Operations on Voltage- Controlled Equipment) • In 1970, the Groove system was unveiled at a “Music and Technology” conference in Stockholm. • Groove was a hybrid system which used a Honeywell DDP224 computer to store manual actions (such as twisting knobs, playing a keyboard, etc.) These actions were stored and used to control analog synthesis components in realtime. • Composers Emmanuel Gent and Laurie Spiegel worked with GROOVE Details of GROOVE GROOVE System included: - 2 large disk storage units - a tape drive - an interface for the analog devices (12 8-bit and 2 12-bit converters) - A cathode ray display unit to show the composer a visual representation of the control instructions - Large array of analog components including 12 voltage-controlled oscillators, seven voltage-controlled amplifiers, and two voltage-controlled filters Programming language used: FORTRAN Benefits of the GROOVE System: - 1st digitally controlled realtime system - Musical parameters could be controlled over time (not note-oriented) - Was used to control images too: In 1974, Spiegel used the GROOVE system to implement the program VAMPIRE (Video and Music Program for Interactive, Realtime Exploration) • Laurie Spiegel at the GROOVE Console at Bell Labs (mid 70s) The 1st Digital Synthesizer “The Synclavier” • In 1972, composer Jon Appleton, the Founder and Director of the Bregman Electronic Music Studio at Dartmouth wanted to find a way to control a Moog synthesizer with a computer • He raised this idea to Sydney Alonso, a professor of Engineering at Dartmouth and Cameron Jones, a student in music and computer science at Dartmouth.

Side One. Can, can we ask, first of all when and where you were born? I was born in Maidstone, Kent, in 1927. And, but from Kent I moved over for a short to King’s Lynn in Norfolk because my father was in banking, and then eventually I went to the West Country, to Ross-on-Wye, when I was about six I suppose, I think, or there around. And so I spent all my schooling in Ross, and that was, of course, then sort of late ‘30s and into the War. So, the early part of the War anyway, I, I was in Ross, I was in school there. Convents, schooling, I can't claim any academic qualifications, but I did specialise in school quite a bit in music, and my mother seemed to think that I had some, I mean, and my mother was one of those people who I think thought I should have to do everything, you know, one of those, a bit of this, a bit of that, and whether you did any of it really well, but it, we had to have a go at it all.
