The DFenders: An Analysis of the Studio Production Process

Abstract

A brief discussion of recording concepts as proposed by composer/producer Brian Eno prefaces an in-depth examination of the recording techniques used to produce The DFenders, an album of original ‘Eighties-esque’ pop songs. Drawing on a number of notable pop/rock musicians from the Eighties, particularly New Wave artists, The DFenders utilises vintage equipment and recording techniques to produce a ‘retro’ pop album in the modern day recording studio.
