This highly original and accessible book draws on the author's
personal experience as a musician, producer and teacher of popular
music to discuss the ways in which audio technology and musical
creativity in pop music are inextricably bound together. This
relationship, the book argues, is exemplified by the work of Trevor
Horn, who is widely acknowledged as the most important, innovative
and successful British pop record producer of the early 1980s. In
the first part of the book, Timothy Warner presents a definition of
pop as distinct from rock music, and goes on to consider the ways
technological developments, such as the transition from analogue to
digital, transform working practices and, as a result, impact on
the creative process of producing pop. Part two analyses seven
influential recordings produced by Trevor Horn between 1979 and
1985: 'Video Killed the Radio Star' (The Buggles), 'Buffalo Gals'
(Malcolm McClaren),'Owner of a Lonely Heart' (Yes), 'Relax'
(Frankie Goes to Hollywood), 'Slave to the Rhythm' (Grace Jones),
and albums by The Art of Noise and Propaganda. These records reveal
how the creative use of technology in the modern pop recording
studio has informed Horn's work, a theme that is then explored in
an extensive interview with Horn himself.
