The Art of Dub

Nathaniel Bridges

Rediscovering the Art

of 1970s Reggae Production

What is dub reggae music?

Reggae and Dub are different genres

Engineers role is more important than the artists

Example: “Firehouse Rock” by The Wailing Souls vs. “The Mummy’s Shroud” by Scientist

My Culminating Experience

Write, arrange, perform, and record three original dub reggae songs

Edit and prepare multitrack stems for performance

Perform these songs in AKSS in 5.1 Surround Sound

Bowie in Dub

Six song remix EP

Original vocal stems, with new reggae music added

Incorporated into AKSS dub template for live dub mixing

Future and Potential

Expand live set and perform in clubs

Develop into an installation

Use as a teaching tool
