The producer acts more like a collage artist, finding various pieces of art created by others, then mixing and mashing pieces to appropriately represent their own vision. For example, a sculptor is fairly restricted in what they can create, due to their provided resources, such as what type of clay they may be using or how much of it they have. Producers, like any artist, receive inspiration from the world around them, but what makes their art form so interesting is where they find their sound bites from. Producing is a fascinating world filled with thieves who take scraps of sound from any corner of the world, just to manipulate it in a way that fits a specific place in a project they are creating. Though people up to date with the music world may recognize who they are, I still don’t think many people realize the contribution a producer has on the songs that are on your top ten list. Recognizable names such as DJ Khaled, Timberland and DJ Mustard are just a few of the producers who have taken this sort of approach. Although producers these days, especially in Hip-Hop culture, seem to be progressively marketing themselves more as artists than just a producer. In most cases, a producers is really the orchestrator of a musical piece, being that they create the theme of the entire song. Whispers of “Did you hear Kanye West’s new song…” or “Taylor Swift just dropped a new song and its.”, fill there air after every new music Tuesday, but theres always one person that seems to be forgotten. New songs are released every week and it only takes a peek on Twitter or a news website to see which artist it was and whether it was good or not.
