I wasn't really writing with anything commercial in mind I just wanted to create some new music. |
I write on all instruments. |
I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs. |
I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other. |
I'm listening to everything from Weather Report to Garbage and everything in-between. |
I'm very proud of it as a Yes record amongst many of the other Yes records. |
I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine. |
It is coming along quite nicely and I should be mixing it very soon. I'm a long-time huge fan of Pink Floyd and especially The Wall. I have been working very hard to keep the over all integrity extremely high, as did everyone who played on it. I hope you like it! |
It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record. |
It's like: you could be driving in a Porsche or in a Jaguar, you're still gonna get to the same destinations. It's just how you choose to drive them. |
So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio. |
So I'm actually in the process of building another studio of my own in my house, taking over a wing of the house. |
So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes. |
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well. |
So that studio served its purpose, and still is working very well for other people right now. |
