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. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Min-jun Kowalski Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lsantos@stanford.edu Sat May 20 13:12:25 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!stanford!lsantos From: lsantos@stanford.edu (Lisa Santos) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995May20.131225.9359@stanford.edu> Date: Sat, 20 May 1995 13:12:25 GMT References: <1995May18.215125.4494@berkeley.edu> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 8 In article <1995May18.215125.4494@berkeley.edu>, mkowalski@berkeley.edu (Min-jun 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. -- Jen Moreau "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
