| The art of music recording has seen many changes over the past 40 years. The process of recording music has adapted from live performances recorded live with few microphones using an analog medium, to complex overdubbed multi-track arrangements recorded by means of high-resolution digital audio. This work explores soul music of the late 1960's in order to uncover and understand past recording techniques and their relevance to modern recordings. An original piece of music is composed, arranged, and recorded in two different ways: by using past recording techniques, and by using contemporary recording practices. Audio examples are created to compare and contrast the two different process' recording, musical, and aesthetic results. |
