Music and Sound | We recommend

Read: Studying Popular Music Culture, by Tim Wall is a good introduction to ways of thinking about popular music.

Subscribe: Sound on Sound is a good read, although you might find Resolution or Tape Op even better.

Read: The Business: A Guide to the Law and the Deals by Ann Harrison is a great book about the business side of the music industry. She is from near Merthyr and works frequently with the Welsh Assembly Government.

Listen: To as much live music as you can, if you are around Cardiff then you can also hear staff members in: Heavy Quartet, Jones O’Connor Band, Wonderbrass, Glen Manby Quartet, Os Sambistas, Black Cesar, Fat Barry’s Soul Band, and more…

Read: We would highly recommend Richard Burgess The Art of Music Production. This is an excellent book and Richard has an association with the department.

Read: For the technical awards David Howard and James Angus Acoustics and Psychoacoustics is an absolute must.
