Issue 2: Guest Editor – Albin Zak
Deadline for inclusion at launch of issue 2: 10th April 2007
Themes:
• Recording figures mostly missing from the historiographic record.
Alongside producers this could include engineers, session players, arrangers, etc. We also welcome research on recording scenes in particular cities or regions. Interviews in preparation for this issue so far include Nile Rodgers, Stephen Street and Ted Fletcher (who worked with Joe Meek).
• Alternatives to the established mainstream entertainment production and delivery system.
Everyone knows that major labels and big-time studios are having trouble coping with the new realities of project studio production and internet distribution. But it’s far from clear how significant a shift is being generated at the grass roots. We welcome case studies from various parts of the world detailing music production and distribution scenarios operating outside the corporate models that dominated the past century.
