Music professor brings lessons from top talent into the classroom<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/iframe> \n  \n Professor John Freyermuth<\/p>\nMusic Professor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/clarknow.clarku.edu\/captivate-podcast\/pop-music-with-john-freyermuth\/\">John Freyermuth<\/span><\/a> has a hectic schedule, split between recording studios and classrooms. As a music engineer, Freyermuth takes recorded songs and ensures each disparate element sounds like a cohesive piece. He’s also worked in songwriting and music production. Freyermuth has collaborated with a range of talent, from Drake to Angel Olsen, and from Methyl Ethel to the emerging artists in his classrooms.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nIn this episode, Freyermuth talks about his love of records, from electronic avant-garde compositions to the new tracks released each Friday on Spotify and Apple Music. Current trends are a central part of his Clark courses.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>“I love talking about making records. Talking about that and then going home to put those skills to practice allows me to speak in front of a class very confidently,” says Freyermuth, who often tells his students, “I’m going to go home and I’m going to do exactly what I just showed you to make some of your favorite records.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nFreyermuth was integral in designing the recording studio in the <a href=\"https:\/\/clarknow.clarku.edu\/2022\/04\/28\/clark-breaks-ground-on-the-center-for-media-arts-computing-and-design\/\" aria-label=\"MACD building story\">Center for Media Arts, Computing, and Design<\/a> (MACD), Clark’s new academic building. <\/span><\/p>\nChallenge.
