Art of Record Production Conference

The Sixth Annual Art of Record Production Conference

Change and Continuity: transformations, innovations and tensions in the
art of record production

The theme of the conference is centred around the idea of change and continuity - the idea that music and music production can look backwards or it can look forwards. The way our 'art' changes through technology and the use of technology is an example of where people make choices between, for instance, old technology and new technology - between old sounds and new sounds, while continually exploring the space in between these two theoretical poles. In addition, we see innovation all around us but we might also reflect on what is new. There are also tensions in our field between technology, artistry, craftsmanship, aesthetics, and commerce. We hope that the strands will allow the conference to consider change and continuity in the art of record production.
