Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Hugo Johansson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From amoreau@kiae.su Mon Oct 17 14:41:48 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!kiae!amoreau From: amoreau@kiae.su (Anja Moreau) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1994Oct17.144148.3985@kiae.su> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 1994 14:41:48 GMT References: <1994Oct16.134548.3139@berkeley.edu> Organization: Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow NNTP-Posting-Host: kiae.su X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1994Oct16.134548.3139@berkeley.edu>, hjohansson@berkeley.edu (Hugo Johansson) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'. > Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
