Legendary music producer, Gordon Raphael has spent four decades working
with musicians, performers and songwriters to create unique
genre-defining sounds. His work with THE STROKES, REGINA SPEKTOR and THE
LIBERTINES has made him one of the world's most sought-after music
producers. What's his secret?
This book gives an insider's view into how music is created and
recorded, sharing insights into the artistic discoveries that happen
when a group of talented musicians find the right studio, the right
producer and the right sound.
Like sitting on the purple velvet couch at New York's fabled
Transporterraum Studio, this rock 'n' roll memoir gives an All Access
Pass to the processes and techniques, the people and the performances.
It's the early 2000s and, for the first time, young people who've grown
up hating their parent's rock music, have found a reason in the songs of
NYC newcomers THE STROKES to drop their electronica, house and techno
for guitars, Converse, leather jackets-to form their own bands.
Focussing on the eight-year period from the demise of the Seattle grunge
scene to the rebirth of a thrilling cultural shift in New York and
London that reimagined rock 'n' roll.
Gordon Raphael shares his tales of musical glory and loss, creative
triumphs and breakups. It's a bumpy ride with a killer soundtrack.
