Producer and Engineer at Berklee College of Music LA, NY, Boston
As a drummer I was once very against sampled, programed, or quantized types of drum grooves, but once again in college my outlook changed as I began to consider how listening to this type of music made me feel, rather than simply how I felt about it in an empirical sense. Studying music (specifically jazz at first) in a college setting taught me much more than scales and lead sheets. I learned how to listen and examine the meaning behind what the players were playing, taking into consideration harmony, melody, rhythm, tone color, and form, as well as more abstract concepts like feel, emotion, and energy. In class there was much listening too, writing about, and discussing jazz in this context, but out of class I started applying the same concepts to records that I enjoyed listening to, and ones I knew to be popular. And realizing that these records were popular for a reason, I started trying to piece together why people liked them and what musical and cultural elements were in play to make them so significant.
Topics I hope to explore through this page
Updating the page on nu disco and adding more regional info and more relevant examples
