Haim and studio engineer Vanessa Parr are the first guests of Laura Marling‘s ‘Reversal of The Muse’ project, in which she will discuss the female role within the music industry.
“Reversal Of The Muse began as conversations between friends about female creativity,” she’s said. “In reversing the muse it became an experiment. As a small part of the global conversation about women in the arts, it became an obsession.”
“It occurred to me that in ten years of making records I had only come across two female engineers working in studios.”
“Starting from my experience of being a woman I began to ask myself what difference it might have made had I had more women around, if any. I wanted to know why progress has been so slow in this area and what effect it would have on music.”
