He is one of record production’s great innovators who has worked with some of the most dynamic and influential names in pop, from Marc Bolan /T-Rex and Thin Lizzy, to David Bowie, Morrissey and U2. In the Visconti Studio he will be working with students and staff of Kingston University, as well as invited artists, to produce records.As part of our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes students will learn to use and maintain analogue technology in recording and production. Besides course related teaching, the Visconti Studio also organises special master classes, a Winterschool, and special recording sessions with international artists. In the Visconti Studio, every student is part of our mission: to preserve the sounds and practices of the analogue past for the digital future.“The Heritage and Future of Analogue Recording and Production” is a large-scale research project partnered with the British Library and the Science Museum. The project aims to document and preserve the legacy of the analogue era. The project combines questions around cultural nostalgia with concrete musical practice and heritage studies. It will build a rich and diverse archive of recordings, practices, instruments, technologies, listening testimonies, and scholarly reflection.
