The Classical Foundations of Heavy Music: Nolly Getgood's Musical Journey | HIMMP Interview

In this insightful HIMMP interview, renowned producer Adam "Nolly" Getgood reveals how his early exposure to classical compositions by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky shaped his understanding of sonic power and heaviness in music production.

This interview is part of the Heaviness in Metal Music Production (HIMMP) research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), grant reference AH/T010991/1. Hosted at the University of Huddersfield, UK, the project examines the technological, cultural, and perceptual aspects of heaviness across the evolution of recorded metal music. Led by Dr. Jan Herbst and Dr. Mark Mynett, HIMMP brings together insights from leading producers, engineers, and scholars to document how heaviness is created, perceived, and transformed over time. Getgood's reflections on classical music's influence provide valuable perspective on the cross-genre roots of contemporary metal production techniques.
