Tiivistelmä
Modelling technology has revolutionized the music production industry in a big way. It has affected everyone in the field of music production from the live side to the studio, both commercial and private. Even though modelling technology has been around in one form or another for twenty years or so, the last ten have possibly brought the greatest advancements. In this thesis, the goal was to map out some of these changes from several different points of view by interviewing four music production industry professionals and researching literature. The thesis project is a full-length album that was recorded almost entirely with modelling technology with the purpose of educating peers and people interested in music production of the possibilities that technology can bring.
The research yielded many compelling insights and points-of-view into the matter and gives a contemporary picture of a rapidly changing and growing industry. The interviews of four established professionals in the field of music production and their differing careers each give a unique perspective on the matter. They’re all transcribed and translated in the appendices and they make for very interesting reading.
The thesis concludes that modelling technology, both software and hardware, plays a crucial part in all fields of contemporary music production. The interviewees and literature agrees on many advancements and steps forward, but there is also room for growth and some new challenges have risen.
