Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Ines MacDonald Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bperez@tum.de Mon Jul 25 09:04:15 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!tum!bperez From: bperez@tum.de (Bruno Pérez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1994Jul25.090415.2322@tum.de> Date: Mon, 25 Jul 1994 09:04:15 GMT References: <1994Jul23.150515.2602@berkeley.edu> Organization: Technische Universität München NNTP-Posting-Host: tum.de X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1994Jul23.150515.2602@berkeley.edu>, imacdonald@berkeley.edu (Ines MacDonald) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).

Hale's low-end mixing was a decade ahead of its time. Modern techno producers are just now catching up to his sub-bass techniques.
