  • Music Without Frontiers - Part 1 & Part 2

    Or, 'How A Ferry In Sydney Harbour Changed The Course of Music'!

    Indeed it did!

    The Lowdown investigates the development of audio technology & its influence upon pushing the boundaries of music production, forming new genres & creating the landscape for 'sampling'.

    We come to understand how the advent of the Fairlight CMI changed the world of studio recording & as a result, the soundtrack to our lives.

    In this episode, hear how technology helped create the defining sound of artists like Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, and learn how & why the music of Malcolm McLaren, Fat Boy Slim & Herbie Hancock - to name but a few - owe technology huge respect.

    Plus, how a TV series like 'Miami Vice' & a movie like 'Ferris Bueller 's Day Off ' wouldn't have been as popular without creative musicians willing to adopt new technology & create music without frontiers.

    In the second Episode, we uncover how the two most famous sampled drum breaks of all time - 'The Funky Drummer Break' & 'The Amen Break' -  helped create the tracks we all know & love, for artists like Public Enemy, George Michael, Madonna, Salt-N-Pepa, Calvin Harris, composer Angelo Badalamenti of hit TV series 'Twin Peaks' & a host of others.

    EPISODE BONUS:

    Continuing The Lowdown into sampling, we dissect the 1999 landmark album 'Play' by Moby & learn how & why his music was a prime example of a musician willing to not only adopt new technology but more importantly, continue to create music without frontiers.
