O projeto imagético como guia da produção musical: estudo de caso com dez produtores da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This research focuses on the work of the music producer. Among the various functions performed, we focus the investigation on his role as a professional who seeks to give aesthetic contours imagetically referenced to the final product of phonographic production, be it an album, an EP, a single or another format. From a contextualization of the activity carried out by this professional at the music industry and its characterization through the establishment of the premises of its activities, a multidisciplinary theoretical framework adapted to the object was selected. Through content analysis of interviews carried out with ten leading professionals from the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte/MG, we detected the existence of imagery projects, abstract constructions that guide phonographic productions in the professional practices of the interviewed.
