Come To Our AES Platinum Producers and Engineers Panels This Week!
As previously announced, this Friday and Saturday, SonicScoop will present two of the AES’ Platinum Series Panels as part of the 131st Convention going on at the Javits Center.
Helping kick off the show, SonicScoop co-founder David Weiss will present the Platinum Producers panel on Friday, October 21 in Room 1E15/16, from 11:45 – 1:45. David will moderate a discussion between acclaimed producers David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Regina Spektor), Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, John Mayer) and Gabe Roth (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Booker T. Jones).
The group will speak on the topic of “The Producer’s Portfolio”, exploring the work of each of these producers and how their own artistic sensibilities and unique perspectives have enabled their careers to flourish
On Saturday, SonicScoop co-founder Janice Brown and contributing writer and engineer/producer Justin Colletti (Trust Me I’m A Scientist) will moderate the Platinum Engineers Panel from 11AM – 1PM, also in Room 1E15/16 at the Javits. This panel will be a conversation about “Creative Engineering – The Studio As An Instrument” with some heroes of the craft including engineer/producers Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Neon Indian), Peter Katis (The National, Jónsi, Interpol), Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Public Enemy, Weezer) and Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, Arcade Fire).
The discussion will be structured around examples of creative work in the studio which helped to define some innovative and influential artists’ sounds, creating lasting impressions on fans as well as other musicians, engineers, and producers.
Don’t miss these panels! They are both in the “Special Events” category of the AES’ technical program, which are accessible to all, including those with exhibits-only badges.
