For the benefit of the song: Exploring the role of preproduction in recorded popular music

Hosking, Brad (2019) For the benefit of the song: Exploring the role of preproduction in recorded popular music. Master of Philosophy by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This study explores the preproduction process in commercial popular music recording and production and the perceived value of a formalised preproduction process to its participants. Through an interdisciplinary investigation of preproduction in other creative industries, a preproduction process that is more formalised than that usually associated with music production was developed. For participants, the formalised music preproduction framework presented a more complete process, with perceived benefits for the songs and participants in areas such as improved musical outcomes and workflow efficiency. Overall, these broad results contribute to our understanding of preproduction in commercial popular music, and illustrate some possible avenues for further development in record production and creative practice.
