In "Chronicles" Bob Dylan said of his producer, Daniel Lanois:

“He didn’t want to float on the surface. He didn’t even want to swim. He wanted to jump in and go deep. He wanted to marry a mermaid.”

Producers are a mercurial breed – the particulars of the art remaining to some extent indefinable; what makes a great producer, individual and seemingly intangible…

With this in mind MusicTank has drawn together iconic producers and their pioneering contemporaries in the field to assess the ongoing role, the current challenges, and, perhaps most pressing of all, the future options and revenue streams available to forward-thinking producers.
