I will present this week at the National Association for Music Education conference, part of the Philosophy Special Research Interest Group. As the theme is media, my initial five-minute allotment will be filled by playing the following video, which will help to set up the live discussion.
As I talk about the musical recordings I made, it is only fair that I share one, in this case the multi-track version of Woody Guthrie’s “Car Song” (which despite it’s acoustic patina includes 5 audio tracks, multiple edits, a baby sample from another recording, reverb, EQ, compression, and tons of automation as well as a bit of pitch-correction in the upright bass):
