Keynote Speaker
Listen With Your Ears, And Not Your Eyes
Multi-Platinum record producer (and Commander of The British Empire/CBE recipient) Steve Lillywhite, has collaborated with stars ranging from The Rolling Stones, U2, Peter Gabriel, Morrissey, Counting Crows, and The Pogues to The Killers, Dave Matthews Band, and Thirty Seconds to Mars. Over the past thirty years, he has made an indelible impact on contemporary music, and he continues to hone the razor edge with innovative new projects. His AES Keynote address will focus on the importance of “studio culture,” and on inspiring and managing the creative process. He will also stress the importance of embracing new technology while avoiding the trap of becoming enslaved by it. Steve Lillywhite's studio philosophy emphasizes the axiom “Listen with your ears and not your eyes.”
