Directions in Music by Miles Davis: Using the Ecological Approach to Perception and Embodied Cognition to Analyze the Creative Use of Recording Technology in Bitches Brew
In 1969 Miles Davis started to use the credit "Directions in Music by Miles Davis" on his record sleeves as a statement asserting his creative control of the recording process. This article develops the idea of using the ecological approach to perception and embodied cognition to provide a psychological/cognitive basis for an Actor Network Theory (and to a lesser extent Social Construction of Technology) analysis for the collaborative creative an…

The Musicology of Record Production
Recorded music is as different to live music as film is to theatre. In this book, Simon Zagorski-Thomas employs current theories from psychology and sociology to examine how recorded music is made and how we listen to it. Setting out a framework for the study of recorded music and record production, he explains how recorded music is fundamentally different to live performance, how record production influences our interpretation of musical meaning…

The stadium in your bedroom: Functional Staging, Authenticity and the Audience-Led Aesthetic in Record Production
This article will discuss how two major contributing factors, functional staging and perceived authenticity, have had and continue to have a powerful influence on the sound of record production across geographical boundaries and throughout history. Functional staging is a concept building on the idea of phonographic staging developed by William Moylan and Serge Lacasse and related to Allan Moore's 'sound-box'. The staging of sounds in the record …
The Musicology of Record Production
This article, which is intended as a starting point for debate rather than a definitive statement, proposes an outline structure for a musicology of record production. While such a musicology cannot exist as an entity separate from other aspects of musical analysis, it is hoped that a coherent set of tools for analysing the production of recorded music will prove useful. The main discussion is divided into six sections, under the following headin…
