Today, as Sergio greets me at the office, he immediately tells me that he is going to explain and show me some practicalities about production, as he wants to share his experience with me. While I observe him dealing with his daily duties, he also illustrates me how a typical project is set up, from its early phases. Music Production involves making decision since the beginning of the project, after having making an agreement with an artist, that usually Sergio spots himself, by listening to demos and taking suggestions from collaborators, friends in his professional network. He also admits that it is extremely rare for him to listen to a demo and suddenly decide to produce something: “Music always takes sometime, at least for me. I want to …show more content…
While asking for my opinion, Sergio also tells me that he is going to reject that proposal, because Malintenti is out of the artist’s league, and because he thinks the artist still has a long way to go before he could present something that could work. I have the impression that the major component of Sergio’s decision is his gut feeling, along with some considerations he makes out loud about the marketability and profitability of the project. It sounds really “mainstream”, and it could work, but it is nothing more far from Malintenti’s catalogue, which is focusing on quality over quantity, with a special focus on music’s artistic value. After all, it also seems to me that the decision is being influenced by artistic and stylistic reasons, arising from Sergio’s experience as a …show more content…
He has carried out Oratio’s project through this method, and also Nicolò first album. After the success of Nicolò Carnesi’s first album, though, he changed this approach, by externalizing the recording process through some established recording studios in Milan, where a friend of his, Tommaso Colliva, has supported his and his artists’ projects. Sergio also tells me that the main different in this second scenario is the costs to be sustained, that usually are around 20% of gains: Nicolò second album was entirely financed through the profits from the first album. The costs are usually recovered through direct production, and subsequently the rights arising from that (e.g. exectutive rights, copyrights, perfoming rights), and through the publishing
Being accurate and creating real world (or space in some cases) sounds are important, because filmmakers want the audience to believe what they see on the screen. They want the audience to be able to relate and feel as if they are a part of that scene. Sound and music have great affects on audiences. Sound makes a cinematic narration come to life.
Scenes of breath-taking Austrian landscapes fill the vivid screen. You immediately recognize the mountains, the valleys, and especially, the singing hills. They flourish with memories of sitting in front of the family television and watching re-run after re-run of the movie that never grew old. The movie, if you haven’t already surmised, is The Sound of Music.
To understand a musician’s work, one might need to understand their personal journey. While delving into the effects of musical therapy, I had a chance to interview Matt Jennings a songwriter/musician who plays piano in a worship band at Bear Creek Community Church in Merced, California. On Saturday, February 19, I sat down with Matt ...

Working in the recording industry takes a lot of time, patience, and money. Starting with making records, to 8 tracks, to 4 track tapes, and now to CD’s, there have been many changes in bettering the production. There are five separate levels of responsibility the industry must go through before it reaches the public(148). One is the Artists and repertoire, which develop and coordinate talent. The Operations manage the technical aspects of the recording, such as: sound technicians, musicians, and even the people that
Becoming a music producer can mean discovering and helping make the careers of artists. However, it takes time, effort, training and contacts. That's because a music producer has plenty of responsibilities during an album's production, both on the creative and the business looks sides. The producer supervises all aspects of the recording process, from helping to select songs to contracting with session players and deciding the sound of the song, selecting the studio and engineers, booking studio time and overseeing the recording budget.
Record Producer is a person who creates beats for other music artist or for themselves. A producer has many roles such as creating a blueprint for the project, selecting songs and musicians, coaching the artist in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire production. Producers also often take on a wider management role with responsibility for the cost, schedules, and negotiations. A producer aims to gain popularity in the music industry or individual positive exposure to music labels (such music companies as Sony, OVO sound, Def Jams, etc.) Nowadays record producers create music to get label contract or to be heard on the radio.

Being instrumental reflective has more weaknesses than strength. By interviewing three people with different communication styles, I realize the tendency and pattern of my own style. I identify the reflective side as the “real me” because I use it most of the time. It serves as a good listener along normal conversation with friends and family members because conflict seldom happens through this approach. The only weakness for the reflective side is lack of confidence when I communicate at workplace. The instrumental side appears only when there are conflicts and problems that need to be resolved. The above example from Enesha and Kathy clearly explains how I change to instrumental in a sudden.
Music production is more than just a musical program; it is a duty that requires personal experience with music and artistic direction. Observing producers in the studio, their creativeness comes out in different ways even depending o their task. The artisanship of music production has come a long way ever since the heavily involved recording equipment has been massively changing. Every artwork has countless of individual people who have changed the way the art may be applied to the field, leaving behind their legacy to influence all aspects of music. Music producers are always overlooked when it comes to working with musicians or bands, but what people do not know is that they are the backbone of the production but are unseen to the public. There are several of paths on becoming a producer, like being self-taught or going to a vocational school. If you plan to advance as a producer, it will be a rough experience trying to ascend to a higher position. A music producer is the main person that manages the whole album on a record, and is responsible for helping the artist complete his work.
Hi, I am 20 years old, I've been making beats for six years, working towards being a Music Producer for two years and I want to learn more! I feel that if I were to become a part of the Production process and Music Industry, my skills will grow. My interest in Music Production began when I started paying attention to what made me love
Nine years ago, when I was in kindergarten, I always looked up to my sister as a role model. If she liked a certain food, I would like it; if she did something, I would want to do it also. So, it only made sense that when she started to play piano, I would want to play too. For months, I was like a mosquito to my dad, asking him when I could start playing piano. Two years later, my wish came true. When my sister went off to college, my dad asked me, “Do you want to start playing piano?”
For me personally, music appreciation is defined as looking at different pieces of music and musical forms, and learning to find appreciation for them. This appreciation is formed not only by listening to several pieces of music, but by learning to understand what you may be listening too. This involves introducing yourself to many pieces of music and learning to interpret, what makes each piece different and unique. Understanding the historical background and societal changes that have taken place during the creation of the musical piece, is also an important factor to consider. Music is not only creative, but it also makes up part of a societies history. Music is an art form that connects different societies and cultures together, it possess the amazing ability to make us into one.
...rks. In a word, the MA experience was considered to be a bridge that combines the student learning with working skills, it would be of great help for my future career.
Through music we are able to comprehend someone’s personality, their views, their culture, and who they are as an overall person. The music you listen to is a reflection of who you are and your own personal thoughts. As I reflect on the music I listen to I came to the conclusion that I gravitate towards songs that depict the emotions we feel through lyrics while being able to relate it to my own personal experiences.
