Abstract "This book examines the creative process of the Bee Gees and the latent elements that shaped their sound. From their formative Australian work to the highs of their disco years and the scores of songs they wrote and produced for other artists, the Bee Gees' catalogue is vast and varied. It is also distinctive. Songs feature their signature falsetto vocals, close three-part harmony, and knack for pop songwriting. This book takes a unique approach to the musicology of music production. It analyses processual accounts and demo recordings to uncover what are defined as the latent elements of music production, such as instruments, lyrics, meanings, space, sounds, and recording techniques that are crucial in shaping the completed recordings but are absent from what we hear. It is a must-read book for music production academics and students, as well as anyone interested in the Bee Gees' creative process"-- Provided by publisher.
