Craig Anderton

Craig Anderton is an internationally recognized authority on music and technology. From teen rock ‘n’ roll star in the ’60s, to studio musician in the ’70s, record production in the ’80s, European EDM gigs in the 2000s, and ongoing collaborations with Public Enemy’s Brian Hardgroove. In 1981, Anderton predicted the rise of EDM in a landmark AES paper, and foresaw the end of physical media with the takeover by streaming (“a celestial jukebox”) even before Napster existed. He has played on, produced, or mastered over 20 major label recordings, played Carnegie Hall, and mastered well over a hundred tracks for various artists. As an author, Craig has written over 50 books on the arts and technology, and over a thousand articles. He created an independent publishing division for online retailer Sweetwater, which has published 13 books under a new model for tech publishing that reinvents e-books as software. Due to his ability to de-mystify complex technical topics, Craig has lectured on technology and the arts in 38 states, ten countries, and three languages.
