Abstract
A Music Industry is a controlled Environment used for the
Production and Recording of Music. Music is a properly organised
sound with a definite tone and a pitch running between a low
and high scale, or a noisy sound with no perceptible pitch at a l l.
The perceived quality of Music depends on two major factors;
an Administrative factor on the one hand and an acoustical one
on the other. The producer's and A r t i s t e ' s wish, industry's
recording system, and the condition of the Recording Instruments
f a l l s under the Administrative factors while the Acoustical
factors comprise of the geometry of the room, i t s construction
method and materials used, finishes, services incorporated into
the buildings, and i t s position on s i t e in relation to other
a c t i v i t i e s around i t . It is not on exageration when one says
that the quality of music produced in a space depends on the
Architectural solution employed on the s i t e as a whole and on
the space i t s e l f , this is to say it depends on the acoustical
quality of the space.
This thesis will delve into the Architectural factors that
affect the quality of music, This is to say that I am goin to
research into the area of Architectural Acoustics and noise \
control viz - a - viz the buildings used for Recording Music.
Creation of ideal Acoustical Environments needed for the
recording of Music is an Architectural problem, it is envisaged
that t h i s thesis will show us how to solve the biggest problem
facing the listening and production of Music
