In this resource, we explore the trailblazing recording and production techniques of Joe Meek and Phil Spector in the 1950s-60s. We explore how they crafted their own vision of recorded music, and how they manipulated their sound in unique and innovative ways to pave the way for the ‘modern producer’, rather than engineers in lab coats.
This resource is fully animated for ease of delivery, and contains many embedded audio examples. It also contains an exam-style comparison question between Meek and Spector’s work.
This resource is part of the ’Sound of Popular Music’ series. This series is designed carefully to allow pupils to draw parallels between their musical, historical, practical, and technical knowledge, and further appreciate how developments in Music Technology shaped the course of popular music throughout the 20th Century. In doing so, pupils are better equipped to deal with exam-style questions, particularly extended responses.
I hope you and your pupils enjoy this resource!
