How To Re-Make Music, By Mark Ronson
You may not recognise Mark Ronson's face, but if you're a fan of modern beat music, chances are you've got at least one of his productions in your CD collection or iPod. He's the man who, among MANY other things, helped Amy Winehouse write 'Rehab', worked up 'Littlest Things' with Lily Allen, and changed Radiohead's 'Just' from a skull-bashing guitar apocalypse into a brass-heavy funk parpathon.
So, it seemed fair to ring the man up with a pile of questions about how it is that he does what he does, and what he looks for when he remakes some of the biggest songs in the history of SONG ITSELF.
What I Expected: Endless tedius guff about faders and switches and 'EQ' and 'gated reverb' and the like...
What I Did Not Expect: A sincere offer to produce a swing album for...well, you'll need to hear it to believe it!
