A lucid digest of the vast technical literature that documents the past fifty-odd years of sound recording practicesHodgson explains how equipment choices and processing techniques relate to the musical goals and meanings they serve, illuminating for popular music studies the arcane complexities of how records are crafted. - Robert Walser, Case Western Reserve University
Jay Hodgson currently teaches popular music practice and history, and the 'project' paradigm of production and engineering, at the University of Western Ontario, as part of North America's first (and only) Bachelor of Arts in Popular Music Studies and Master of Arts in Popular Music & Culture programs. He received the Governor General's Gold Medal at the University of Alberta in 2006, partially in recognition of his research on recording practice.
