Mantovani meets musique concrete (with a dash of salsa).
Here's the story: I write a song, bring it to my buddy Dave Westner at Woolly Mammoth Sound, and the two of us usually hash it out in a single session, which allows for mistakes, inspiration, and serendipity. My latest record, "The Bread of Dreams," features 11 songs about memory, loss and trains. For info on how to purchase it, visit eliotwilder.com.
