Grammy Nominated Engineer Marc Daniel Nelson takes you through the full production process of a complex track recorded and produced by Geoff Emerick
It cannot be emphasised enough – there is no course available that is quite like this one…
Geoff Emerick is an industry legend who’s career was beyond exemplary – working right up until he passed away in 2018. He started out at EMI studios (now more famously known as Abbey Road studios) and one of the first big bands he worked with was the Beatles. He was in the studio when they recorded for the first time with their new drummer, Ringo Starr. Geoff worked on a lot of the Beatles’ early albums, and George Martin personally requested that he become the Beatles’ recording engineer aged just 20. He worked on A Hard Days Night, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band, Revolver, Abbey Road…and much more. Geoff went on to become one of the most sought after talents in the production industry, working latterly with Wings, Nazareth, Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Supertramp, Art Garfunkel, Elvis Costello, Ultravox, and as represented here, Lena Anderrsen.
I think it is fair to say that is an impressive track record!
So it was something of a daunting prospect for another industry legend, the uber talented Marc Daniel Nelson, to finish off the last album that Geoff ever worked on, an album that also showcases the stunning talents of producer Niclas Johannasan and the amazing range and depth of Lena Anderssen. Marc rises to the challenge in his own inimitable style and you have the once in a lifetime opportunity to follow him on this journey!
