STUDIO CHRONICLES - Jamaica: Harry J Recording Studio (Episode 1/5) How is good music being created? That's the question, the documentary web series Studio Chronicles follows. In 5 episodes, it paints a picture of Jamaican music production history and culture. The producers visited several studios in Kingston and talked to artists and producers about what makes a good production and what influence the chosen studio has on the final product. The series offers insight into the daily work of producers, the historical development of recording technology, as well as different approaches to recording music in times of digitalisation. The producers want to draw attention to interesting hotspots in music history. Jamaica, with its rich musical heritage, was the perfect choice for the pilot season considering the musical background of the producers. The two brothers Syrix and Professa (Iriepathie) met producers like Gussie Clarke, King Jammy, Don Corleone and Dean Fraser, who gave an insight into the specific qualities of the individual studios and tell stories from decades of experience as producers. The first season was shot in Kingston in December 2013 over a period of four weeks. The series will be accompanied by a producers album to be released on Irievibrations Records, and is the soundtrack to the show. Watch here: http://goo.gl/fySuGX
