Abstract
The overall aim of this single case study is to find aspects of musical leadership relevant to ensemble conducting, using the theory of practice architectures to analyze a record producer’s practice. Data generation is performed mainly through transcripts and reflection logs based on YouTube interviews and videos. Insights into ensemble conducting are offered by exploring the following question: “What aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting can be identified by applying the theory of practice architectures to an analysis of record producer Daniel Lanois’s practice?” The materials are analyzed based on three contexts of interpretation of meaning in hermeneutics. The theory of practice architectures serves as the analytical lens for the third context of interpretation. Main findings from this study are extracted into nine concepts that may serve as aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting: a fast communication system, a self-adjusting act, black dubs, locations, operating by limitation, master station, the philosophical fiber, preparing, and sonic ambience. These and similar concepts may offer new insights into ensemble conducting in contexts similar to recording situations.
Highlights
Background and previous research This study is designed to discover aspects of musical leadership relevant to ensemble conducting, using the theory of practice architectures (Kemmis et al, 2014, p. 31) to analyze record producer Daniel Lanois’s practice
Through extensive interaction with the data material, this part of the analysis resulted in six main categories, some of which have a high number of subordinate musical concepts. These concepts are summarized as nine musical concepts, which constitute the findings of this study. These are concepts that may serve as aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting
Of the article, the process of analysis is elucidated by presenting concepts that may serve as aspects of musical leadership relevant to conducting

Background and previous research This study is designed to discover aspects of musical leadership relevant to ensemble conducting, using the theory of practice architectures Perceptions of ensemble conducting include different methods of instruction for communicating musical intentions, such as basic conducting techniques (Labuta & Matthews, 2017). D’Ausilio et al (2012) studied conducting methods that relied on non-verbal communication between violinists and conductors. Veronesi (2014) studied various aspects of interaction and conducting by highlighting conduction as both a performative and pedagogical practice Veronesi concludes that “analyzing correction within the musical practice of Conduction has allowed to shed a new light on phenomena that are relevant both for the musical domain and for pedagogy as such” Veronesi concludes that “analyzing correction within the musical practice of Conduction has allowed to shed a new light on phenomena that are relevant both for the musical domain and for pedagogy as such” (Veronesi, 2014, p. 486)
