Zak looks at recording popular music as a form of composing; the laying down of tracks, mixing, mastering, and other engineering that go into making a recording are an integral part of creating a piece of popular music. Zak argues that the creation of popular music is by nature collaborative, with the recording studio as the site of collaboration.
