Abstract

The recording studio as a site for creative collaboration has received growing attention over the past two decades by scholars, a range of studio practitioners, and those who combine some or all of these competencies. This presentation builds on recent scholarship via the scholarly collaboration of an interdisciplinary research team consisting of two producer-engineers and two musicologists. Taking a recording session conducted in November 2018 as the material for our study, we focus both on musical interactions and the interpersonal dynamics that affect the flow of various contributions and ideas during the recording process. The material for our analysis will consist of video recordings made during the sessions, which will be supplemented by the recollections of participant-observers.
