We often dedicate a lot of FM to discussing the specifics of sound design, production and mixing, all of which are complex and varied disciplines worth studying and exploring, but none are of any use without an actual song to work with. To quote one of this month’s featured artists, Lewis Thompson, “the production should support the song”. While Thompson is often working with pop vocalists, the principle is true even for the most experimental, minimal or ambient tracks – unless you’ve a core song worth developing, no amount of mixing or mastering skill can paper over a lack of ideas. This issue we’re tackling the principles of songwriting from an electronic musician’s perspective, with tips and techniques along with deep dives into the theory behind a classic tracks from Frankie Knuckles, Deadmau5 and Floating Points.
We have British Electric Foundation on the cover of this month’s Electronic Sound and our lead feature is the story of BEF’s debut album, ‘Music For Stowaways’. It begins at The Human League’s HQ in Sheffield in late 1980, with Martyn Ware being ejected from the band and Ian Craig Marsh deciding to leave with him. What followed was a whirlwind year, with Martyn and Ian releasing ‘Stowaways’, initially only on cassette, and at the same time hooking up with Glenn Gregory and getting to work on Heaven 17’s ‘Penthouse And Pavement’ album. “We wanted to present this notion that you were entering our universe,” says Martyn. “We were creating an alternative fantasy existence, because the real world – I mean, I was living in a two-bedroom council house – had no glamour to it. At all.”
