I denne uges udsendelse er det blevet tid til at kigge på den dyre afdeling af branchen. For i anledning af, at det i morgen er Record Store Day, så handler dette afsnit om de dyreste albums i musikhistorien - ikke rent prismæssigt, men derimod produktionsmæssigt. Vi tager nemlig fat i den uofficielle Top-10-liste over de albums der har haft den dyreste skabelsesperiode, og vi skulle hilse og sige, at vi ikke kommer under 6 mio. dollars. Der er samtidig også flere af disse plader som har haft nogle ret besværlige fødsler, som både har krævet skænderier, retssager, sygdomme, amputeringer, make-up, dyre huse og selvfølgelig masser af frustrationer. Til gengæld er der så også musik fra kæmpe navne som Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Julio Iglesias, Def Leppard og en mere ukendt australsk mand ved navn Chris Gaines. Derudover er der ”Fuld Fåresyge For Alle Pengene” og det bliver også til snakke om hollandske tegneseriehelte, om hvorvidt Rick Astley måske lavede te for metalbandet Korn, hvad Mariah Carey har med turisme på Bahamas at gøre, om den tidligere franske præsident Mitterrand og hans brillestel, hvorfor countrystjernen Garth Brooks har iklædt sig en paryk og om Michael Jackson og hans medproducer Bruce Swedien der deler hotelværelse i L.A. Playliste: Julio Iglesias feat. Stevie Wonder - My love Korn - Here to stay Mariah Carey - Obsessed Chris Gaines - Lost in you Def Leppard - Pour some sugar on me Victoria Beckham - Not such an innocent girl Kylie Minogue - Can't get you out of my mind Michael Jackson - Who is it?

Send us a textCarlos Castro is an award-winning music mixing and recording engineer/producer based in Los Angeles, California, with a remarkable 30-year career in the music industry. His expertise has earned him 13 Latin Grammy nominations, two BASF awards, and numerous platinum and gold records, cementing his reputation as a leading force in sound engineering. With a passion for high-fidelity sound recording, Carlos is the owner and operator of Watersound Studios in Studio City, California, where he continues to create groundbreaking music projects.Carlos's journey in music began at a young age. Born in Mexico City into a family of writers and opera singers, he became fascinated with sound recording at the age of nine, when a portable cassette recorder ignited his curiosity. That curiosity led to a brief but memorable incident in which he recorded the sound of a microwave oven, sparking a lifelong love for music and audio. As a teenager, Carlos worked as a DJ in Mexico, later becoming a finalist in a national DJ competition. His passion for sound grew as he studied piano and began exploring music production.Carlos's professional career took flight after he worked at B&K Studios in Mexico City, where he honed his engineering skills. Inspired by albums like Michael Jackson's Thriller and George Benson's Give Me the Night, both of which were engineered by the legendary Bruce Swedien, Carlos sought out opportunities to work with the best in the business. At the age of 19, he attended Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts in Florida, and soon after, he impressed Swedien with his innovative spirit and was invited to work at West Viking Recorders in California.During his three years with Swedien, Carlos contributed to major projects such as the Free Willy soundtrack and Michael Jackson's Super Bowl halftime show. After the Northridge earthquake, he continued to develop his career by working at several major Los Angeles studios before moving on to engineer for iconic Latin music artists like Luis Miguel, Shaila Dúrcal, and Alicia Villarreal. His first major project, Amarte Es Un Placer by Luis Miguel, was a turning point in his career.Carlos's journey culminated in the creation of Watersound Studios, which took three years to build from the ground up. The studio reflects Carlos's engineering soul, with state-of-the-art equipment and a commitment to producing exceptional sound. His career has seen him collaborate with some of the biggest names in music, including Shawn Colvin, Selena Gómez, Demi Lovato, Luis Miguel, Molotov, and many more. His work has been featured in numerous film and television projects, including Desperate Housewives, Hellcats, and the films High Chicago, Perfect Wave, and Alleged.Fluent in both English and Spanish, Carlos has worked on projects across cultures and continents, bringing his versatile expertise to both analog tape and digital workstation recording. Whether collaborating with major artists or working on a film score, Carlos continues to push the boundaries of sound, leaving his mark on the global music industry.___________________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Es curioso pensar que en 1978, con la grabación de la película "The Wiz", Michael Jackson conoció y comenzó a trabajar con un verdadero mago musical. No, no hablamos de Quincy Jones, sino del gran genio detrás de la consola que permaneció ahí incluso más tiempo que cualquiera. Bruce Swedien, el ingeniero de sonido a quien debemos la experiencia acusónica que permite que disfrutemos de la música sin importar si lo hacemos con los audífonos más baratos del mercado. Bruce fue un auténtico científico en el estudio de grabación, uno con la suficiente sensibilidad, y habilidad técnica, como para saber que la música no solo se escucha, sino que se siente con el cuerpo y el alma. Él es el responsable de la pureza y calidad de audio que hace que el tiempo no pase por su trabajo, pero también de todo un método para capturar toda la magia del estudio. Bruce permitió que la música de Michael Jackson tuviera más que su voz al permitir, y propiciar, que en las grabaciones se quedara también el sonido de su baile. Su fantasía sónica nos regaló la experiencia de escuchar, ver y sentir la música, no con colores como él y Quincy decían poder ver, sino con el alma. Logró registrar e incluir como un instrumento más, el ritmo que corría por todo el cuerpo de MJ, y agregó un sentimiento mucho más orgánico a su obra. Y qué decir de esas paredes de voces en forma del coro Michael Jackson, algo que ningún aparato podría replicar. Por si fuera poco, Bruce demostró ser uno de esos pocos pilares que se mantuvieron leales a Jackson a pesar de todas las tempestades que atravesó en vida y más allá. Hoy, en compañía de Marisa Ramírez, Tony Arias y Rodrigo Freyre, rendimos este cariñoso homenaje a un genio que puso a la música primero.

Érase una vez, una fan de Michael Jackson, musicóloga de profesión, especializada en MJ por vocación, autora por inspiración, y mamá de corazón. En este episodio tenemos el enorme placer de presentarles a Isabelle Petitjean, quien con el ingenioso título de “Érase una Voz” nos invita a redescubrir la fascinante figura de Michael Jackson a través de su voz, “desde Motown hasta el estudio de Bruce Swedien”. A este libro le precede su primer publicación,”Dangerous from Mark Ryden to Michael Jackson. Pop Culture in the Pantheon of Fine Arts” (“Dangerous desde Mark Ryden hasta Michael Jackson. La Cultura Pop en el Panteón de las Bellas Artes”), un análisis musical y semiótico de la fascinante portada del álbum Dangerous y los mensajes que su autor plasmó en la música. Sin duda alguna, la interesante narrativa de Isabelle Petitjean te harán descubrir por primera vez al Michael Jackson que creías conocer. Y colorin colorado, este cuento apenas ha comenzado. “La voz de Michael Jackson es un mito y una realidad. Gritó por primera vez en Indiana, en una noche de verano de 1958.

Y así, rápidamente, nos damos cuenta que su voz sería escuchada por mucho tiempo, que acecharía nuestras vidas, resonaría en nuestro mundo, y despertaría, como siempre lo había hecho, la conciencia de futuras generaciones. ¿Qué es esta voz? ¿De dónde viene? ¿Es un don natural o una obra de arte? ¿Cuál es su mensaje? ¿Qué palabras eligió cantar?

En este libro, la autora revela la vida de un artista que trabajó duro, un genio y un mensajero cuyos principales objetivos eran mejorar sus propias habilidades y respetar a su audiencia.

Érase una vez, una fan de Michael Jackson, musicóloga de profesión, especializada en MJ por vocación, autora por inspiración, y mamá de corazón. En este episodio tenemos el enorme placer de presentarles a Isabelle Petitjean, quien con el ingenioso título de “Érase una Voz” nos invita a redescubrir la fascinante figura de Michael Jackson a través de su voz, “desde Motown hasta el estudio de Bruce Swedien”. A este libro le precede su primer publicación,”Dangerous from Mark Ryden to Michael Jackson. Pop Culture in the Pantheon of Fine Arts” (“Dangerous desde Mark Ryden hasta Michael Jackson. La Cultura Pop en el Panteón de las Bellas Artes”), un análisis musical y semiótico de la fascinante portada del álbum Dangerous y los mensajes que su autor plasmó en la música. Sin duda alguna, la interesante narrativa de Isabelle Petitjean te harán descubrir por primera vez al Michael Jackson que creías conocer. Y colorin colorado, este cuento apenas ha comenzado. “La voz de Michael Jackson es un mito y una realidad. Gritó por primera vez en Indiana, en una noche de verano de 1958. Permaneció con él hasta su último aliento en una mañana calurosa de verano de 2009, en California. Y así, rápidamente, nos damos cuenta que su voz sería escuchada por mucho tiempo, que acecharía nuestras vidas, resonaría en nuestro mundo, y despertaría, como siempre lo había hecho, la conciencia de futuras generaciones. ¿Qué es esta voz? ¿De dónde viene? ¿Es un don natural o una obra de arte? ¿Cuál es su mensaje? ¿Qué palabras eligió cantar?

Born into a family of talented musicians in Lima, Peru on May 18, 1986, Tony Succar’s very DNA must be imbued with cadence and rhythm. The Succar family moved to Miami, Florida when Tony was just two; at the ripe old age of 13, Tony’s own music career began. He says, “I was privileged to be brought up in a family of musicians: I couldn’t be more grateful.” Succar’s music education began on piano then segued to percussion. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz Performance from Florida International University in 2008 and his Master’s degree in 2010.Succar has worked with artists Arturo Sandoval, Néstor Torres, Ed Calle, Tito Nieves, La India, Obie Bermudez, Jennifer Peña, and Tito Puente Jr., among others. Growing up in Miami—a multi-cultural “Melting Pot”—molded him into a versatile musician, prompting him to make the most of his prodigious talent.President of his own entertainment company, Mixtura Productions, Tony Succar is well-versed in a number of professional roles: bandleader, percussionist, musician, producer, composer, and arranger. He is currently endorsed by Gon Bops, a top percussion brand, and Sabian, one of the leading cymbal manufactures in the world. Whether in a timbales solo, an orchestration, or an explosive groove, Succar’s sound is gripping and distinctive and accommodates the energies and interests of musicians and dancers. Notably, at every performance, Tony focuses on the integrity of his music.Succar’s compositions emphasize combinations of syncopation, harmonic curiosity, rhythmic uniformity, and tasteful melodies. With his unique arrangements and personal charisma, Succar breaks the mold to create enticing masterpieces for all. Tony’s debut album (CD/DVD) “Live at the Wertheim Performing Arts Center” is a prime example. The album received excellent reviews from mainstream media, including this one: “An exciting fusion of South America, Cuba, Jazz and South Beach flavor from an up-and-coming artist who will almost certainly be heard from more in the future.” – Jazz Chicago Reviews.Assembling an exceptional production team and featured artists, Tony Succar has created The UNITY Project, a unique endeavor aimed at the minds, ears and hearts of a global audience. Pop legend Michael Jackson’s music and life philosophies heavily influenced Tony as a youngster and teenager, truly igniting his musical ideas and passion. The UNITY Project is the result: an innovative sound that interconnects elements of American Pop, Jazz, Tropical, and World Music with the enduring foundations of the King of Pop. The UNITY album will explode beyond mainstream media to appeal indefinitely to markets around the world.Unity features more than 100 musicians, such Latin superstars as Tito Nieves, Jon Secada, and India, and the mixing magic of Jackson’s legendary engineer Bruce Swedien.The mission of the UNITY Project is to honor the legacy of Michael Jackson, King of Pop, by remaining true to his artistic essence, excellence, and music. The UNITY Project seeks to unify all human beings’ hearts, talents, peoples and cultures to ensure that the imaginary barriers between people and countries shrink until—just as Michael Jackson envisioned—we all live harmoniously together.

Liquid Mind is the name used by Los Angeles composer and producer Chuck Wild. There are few composers with as much love for slowness in their music as Wild. Chuck draws from classical and pop influences as varying as Beethoven and Brian Eno, Bartok and Rachmaninoff, Bach, Chopin and Fauré, Duruflé and Brahms. Early live and studio experience with the Capitol Records' group “Missing Persons”, and studio work with Frank Zappa, Michael Jackson and many others have helped Chuck to develop high production values. Spending many studio hours over the years with five time Grammy winning engineer Bruce Swedien and famed producer Ken Scott has inspired Chuck to explore unique and subtle gradations of sound and feeling in his music. In November 2005, Chuck presented at the American Music Therapy Conference regarding the use of slow music in treating anxiety. Liquid Mind VII: Reflection won the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Meditation/Healing Music album of 2005. Chuck's musical experience spans three decades, including writing 125 songs and compositions used in TV/Film and albums. The Pointer Sisters, Tommy Page, Timothy Leary, Wink, Jennifer Rush, Thelma Houston, Glen Medeiros and Philip Bailey are just some of the artists who have recorded his songs. Wild co-composed music with Michael Hoenig for the Emmy (TM) winning ABC-TV series Max Headroom. In 1992, his first composition for two pianos, Los Angeles Fantasy, was premiered by Zita Carno and Gloria Ching at the Bing Theater in Los Angeles. The same year, Wild co-scored the Academy Award (TM) winning film The Panama Deception. In 1989, he co-wrote (with Marti Sharron) the song "You're My One and Only," #1 hit in Europe for Jennifer Rush. Over the last twenty years, Chuck has lent his studio talents to projects with Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Missing Persons, Philip Bailey, Frank Zappa, and many other artists. http://www.liquidmindmusic.com
