Who is Trevor Horn?

The studio is both setting and subject. Adventures in Modern Recording places Trevor Horn in our catalogue on the arts and entertainment shelf, doubled with biography, and the title makes no secret of where the story unfolds or what it cares about.

Eight hours and thirty-two minutes is a well-judged length for a memoir of craft: long enough for the anecdotes to accumulate into an argument about how records actually get made, short enough that the argument never sprawls into a catalogue of sessions.

Our page stays with the recording. The memoir handles the rest, and handles it in the first person.

Trevor Horn in audiobooks

Adventures in Modern Recording is read by Trevor Horn, and for a book about sound that is rather more than a nice touch; hearing an author describe the making of a record in their own voice is close to the ideal form for the material.

Listeners have responded in numbers, averaging 4.4 across several hundred reviews, a settled and well-established score rather than an early flicker.

Anyone interested in how music is assembled, or in memoirs about work rather than fame, will find plenty here. The audiobook is listed below.
