| Summary |
"A music-career book like no other, The Music Producer's Survival Guide offers a wide-ranging, exploratory, yet refreshingly down-to-earth take on living the life of the independent electronic music producer. If you are an intellectually curious musician/producer eager to make your mark in today's technologically advanced music business, you're in for a treat. In this friendly, philosophical take on the art and science of music production, veteran producer, engineer, and teacher Brian Jackson shares clear, practical advice about shaping your own career in today's computer-centric "home-studio" music world. You'll cover music technology, philosophy of music production, career planning, networking, craft and creativity, the DIY ethos, lifestyle considerations, and much more. Brian's thoughtful approach will teach you to integrate your creative passion, your lifestyle, and your technical know-how. The Music Producer's Survival Guide is the first music-production book to consider the influence of complexity studies and chaos theory on music-making and career development. Focused on practicality, and guided by the "big picture" framework of Integral theory, it traverses a wide spectrum of topics, including presets, the butterfly effect, granular synthesis, harmonic ratios, the TR-808, altered states, fractals, P2P file sharing, and more. Carving out your niche in music today is an invigorating challenge that will test all your skills and capacities. Learn to survive--and thrive--as a creative-technical professional in today's music business, with the help of Brian Jackson and The Music Producer's Survival Guide! This book addresses many common questions that are not readily found in print. This book will help them make important career and lifestyle decisions. This book clarifies many of the murky issues that are usually confounding to beginners in electronic music and DIY music production. This book not only offers immediately practical strategies, but also philosophical ideas that everyone should consider throughout their life."--Provided by publisher |
