Amy Millan is a member of the bands Broken Social Scene and Stars, whose latest album “There Is No Love In Fluorescent Light” came out last month.
Millan sings and plays guitar and piano for the bands, but she’s also exploring the technical side of music making, doing some engineering and producing. She helped engineer a few of the demos for this most recent album
There are very few women in audio production — professionals, dabblers, or otherwise. If female engineers, producers, and mixers were working with Beyonce or Joan Jett, how would music be different? Millan is on a mission to find out.
She's been working to raise awareness about the issue, and bring audio production classes geared to women and girls to her hometown Montreal, with the help of the San Francisco-based Women's Audio Mission.
This segment is hosted by Todd Zwillich.
