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. -- Rodrigo Campbell Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. ------------------------------------------------------------ From kcampbell@pipeline.com Tue Feb 15 10:20:50 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!pipeline!kcampbell From: kcampbell@pipeline.com (Kenji Campbell) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1994Feb15.102050.1830@pipeline.com> Date: Tue, 15 Feb 1994 10:20:50 GMT References: <1994Feb14.094250.4472@kth.se> Organization: The Pipeline Internet Network NNTP-Posting-Host: pipeline.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1994Feb14.094250.4472@kth.se>, rcampbell@kth.se (Rodrigo Campbell) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). > Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
