Adjunct position for the class: Les Paul: A Journey Through Music and Innovation. Course # 93881
This is an adjunct position for the class titled, Les Paul: A Journey Through Music and Innovation. Course # 93881 The class description is the following:
Recorded music has existed for 165 years, producing remarkable artists, engineers, and technicians, but few true inventors. Les Paul stands out as a visionary who invented the modern recording studio, introducing multi-track recording, digital delay, reverb, and echo. He also created the electric pickup, leading to the first solid-body electric guitar. Without his innovations, iconic works like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Eddie Van Halen, Pro Tools, and Garage Band might not exist. Often regarded as the 20th century's Steve Jobs and the Thomas Edison of music, Les Paul profoundly impacted music technology.
This micro-mini 1-unit course explores Les Paul’s transformative contributions and artistic achievements. Alongside his partner Mary Ford, Paul had over 33 Top 20 hits across Jazz, Pop, Country, and R&B. Despite his unmatched influence, many remember him primarily as a legacy artist. Through lectures at the MEIM, Los Angeles campus, and a hands-on session at The Les Paul Studio at United Recording in Hollywood, students will experience Les Paul's original mixing board and engage with top studio producers. Designed for music enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history, innovation, and technology of modern music.
