In this public lecture Jim Mason, Programme Leader for BA Music Production and BA Music Production & Performance, discusses how central it is to a music product’s success for the relationship between producer and artist to work, touching on such famous successful partnerships as Madonna and William Orbit, Radiohead and Nigel Godrich, and Rick Rubin. He will also look at failed relationships between hugely successful names, such as The Beatles and Phil Spector on Let It Be. It will, however, focus on the multiple layers of fundamental differences between The Human League and production team Jam & Lewis on the 1986 album Crash, as a case study of what can happen where highly successful artists and producers have vastly different backgrounds, viewpoints and ideologies.
