Music Production Courses

If your a regular reader of the blog then you may remember us posting about being pretty excited by the fact that we were expecting a visit from winner of ‘Producer of the Year’ at the Brit Awards, Paul Epworth. Well, he came and gave a great talk which was thoroughly enjoyed by all, so now we’re excited to be able to post the video from his visit to the Point Blank Studios. He gave an extremely interesting guest lecture to the students of the Music Production Course, covering a variety of topics and answering some insightful questions.

Paul Epworth is one of the most in-demand music producers and remixers around. He has an enviable list of production and remix credits that includes some of the most successful breakthrough artists of the last few years – Florence & The Machine, Friendly Fires, Maximo Park, Simian Mobile Disco, Bloc Party, Babyshambles and Kate Nash to name a few. This year looks to be yet another busy one for Paul – as I mentioned he has aready racked up a Brits nomination for “Producer of the Year”.

Paul spent a good couple of hours talking to the Point Blank students about his career and covered topics including favourite pieces of studio gear, recording techniques, insights into the working methods of favourite artists and some exciting new names to look out for in 2010! In short…an absolutely fascinating insight into the working methods of a successful producer.

There are a range of videos from the talk which you can check out here, but for now take a look at the first one below. This video shows Paul talking about the beginning of the creative process which he undergoes when working with an artist and provides an interesting look at how a top-level producer starts working on a project.
