Who determines the sound? The Artist or the Producer? Is the artist the vessel for a producers sound such as famously the Motown Sound or Phil Spector’s Wall Of Sound, etc. Or should Artists have their own vision for their sound and ‘employ’ producers to help take their vision in a certain direction to enhance ‘their’ music. Some producers such as the legendary Quincy Jones have consistently innovated and evolved the sonic experience into timeless masterpieces, an art in itself. Should it be a joint effort where the Artist and producer work in partnership.
