Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. 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. -- Jens Kowalski Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lhernandez@hanse.de Wed Oct 25 04:47:48 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!hanse!lhernandez From: lhernandez@hanse.de (Lisa Hernández) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Oct25.044748.7018@hanse.de> Date: Wed, 25 Oct 1995 04:47:48 GMT References: <1995Oct23.034648.5427@inria.fr> Organization: Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg NNTP-Posting-Host: hanse.de X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct23.034648.5427@inria.fr>, jkowalski@inria.fr (Jens Kowalski) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission. -- Lisa Hernández "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
