Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studio in the world, renowned for its creativity and technological excellence. It is a global icon that for the last 90 years has been the musical home to artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Ella Fitzgerald, Radiohead, Ed Sheeran, Kanye West, Lady Gaga,, Amy Winehouse and Adele. We wanted an insider take on this sacred studio so we could learn about the art of mastering and remastering music.  

Our studio guide is Simon Gibson. Simon is one of the world's leading audio restoration and remastering engineers and has 30 years’ experience at Abbey Road. He has mastered the work of some of the world's best known names in pop, rock and classical music, including The Beatles, Depeche Mode, Robbie Williams, and soundtrack albums to many Hollywood blockbusters. He is responsible for the audio restoration on the Grammy Award-winning The Beatles Album Remasters among numerous restoration projects in his illustrious career.

At Beatseeker, we love music and we love games, so combining them in interesting ways is bound to get our attention. Our guest today blurs the lines between music creation and video games and he has even developed an arcade-style ‘Beat Machine’ which puts musical creativity at the centre of any private or public space. 

Meet Tim Shaw, AKA Tim Exile, a producer and performer of electronic music spanning drum and bass, IDM, breakcore and gabber. A classically trained violinist, Tim began experimenting with electronic music aged 12 and never looked back. Unsatisfied with the possibilities of conventional DJing, Exile first programmed his own performance tools to allow improvisational live sets.  In 2016, he launched Endlesss, a collaborative music-making app inspired by his Flow Machine, which he had previously used in live performances. The Beat Machine is his latest creation. He joins us from his studio in London England.

If administered correctly, can music be used as medicine? We reached out to a fascinating company called MediMusic for some answers. MediMusic creates individualized playlists that reduce heart rate and influence the Vagus nerve to stimulate a positive physio-endocrine response. The software uses algorithms to automatically create playlists based on a range of academic data on how people consume music –like age, gender and  nationality – that prompt a positive physiological and emotional response. 

Joining us today is Gary Jones, the CEO and Co-founder of MediMusic. Gary is an award-winning entrepreneur with 30 years of experience in music and content management. Previously, he worked on projects with Sony, Intel, Yahoo, PRS and News International. Gary Jones’s own musical journey began when his uncle bought him a plastic guitar for his 13th birthday in the mid-1970s. Inspired by his musical family, he taught himself how to play, started a school band and began putting gigs and events on in his local area. He joins us from Hull, England.

Ever get the chills when listening to some amazing music? It used to be something that occurred accidentally but is now being engineered by artists and influencers into a more potent form called ASMR.  ASMR or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, has captured the attention of the Internet with millions watching viral clips of whispered voices, delicate hand movements or tapping. 

Our guide to ASMR is Giulia Poerio, an associate lecturer at the University of Sussex. Dr. Poerio is a world-renowned expert on ASMR and was one of the first academics to conduct formal studies on the subject. She joins us from Essex, England.

The vast majority of people go to YouTube for video content on the web, but when it comes to music videos, Vevo is the OG.

Music and other media are becoming increasingly globalized. Not so long ago, it was rare to discover music that originated far from your home. But now it’s increasingly easy to discover music, movies and TV shows made anywhere in the world. We now watch shows like the Korean hit Squid Game and listen to Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny without giving it much thought.  

To explain the rapid globalization of music and culture, we reached Srishti Das in Mumbai. Srishti graduated from Berklee Valencia with a masters degree in music business, and went on to work in different parts of the industry, including as a journalist, teacher and on project teams for various streaming applications.
