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. -- Mikhail Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From yokonkwo@stanford.edu Wed Sep 04 02:14:42 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!stanford!yokonkwo From: yokonkwo@stanford.edu (Yuki Okonkwo) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1996Sep04.021442.8892@stanford.edu> Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 02:14:42 GMT References: <1996Sep03.020442.3074@cmu.edu> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996Sep03.020442.3074@cmu.edu>, mpopov@cmu.edu (Mikhail Popov) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). Fascinating comparison.
