Description
Many years ago, I promised myself that I would make a solo record as soon as they developed digital recording for the home - thus offering a relatively inexpensive way to do a large project. So when this became available, and armed with an incredible 'day job' and a bank loan, I purchased the equipment needed to embark on this idea. This was about 3 years ago. I was also extremely lucky to hook up with Weld [Ed V] who became the engineer of the studio and facilitated an environment where I could concentrate on the producing aspect without being slowed down by the learning curve of the equipment.
I had most of the songs already in demo form. These were songs written or co-written by me that I really loved and had collected over the years. Because the songs were written at different times and with different people, I was faced with the problem of making a cohesive sounding record of 'individual' songs. I felt that rather than make them all sound the same, I should tailor them according to their individual styles and that my drumming and producing would unify them as one cohesive work at the end of the day.
I tried to find the right singers and musicians for each song to create a unified group for those few minutes. Very often the right musician for the music also connected to the other musicians on the song in more ways than just being stylistically right for that moment.
