Production is a strange occupation sometimes your'e the hero, sometimes the Villain....Hours spent listening to the same piece of music over and over again, analysing its merits to the point of madness..Is it the drummer? Is it the mic....Perhaps its the eq!! or compression..Is it the song????..Not enough top end on the hi-hat...Whats on the menu??......the Reverbs too long..theres no groove in the chorus, tell em to call back..The studio sucks, the A&R man cant hear the hook, if only we had an accoustic gtr that sounded like a bass drum or vice versa......Was the first take the one?? Only one side of my headhone works***Can we get more out of the toms**the plugger wants to edit out the intro otherwise radio wont play it***It doesnt sound like that on my stereo..it'll be alright in the mix..It's Never ending but very addictive, very frustrating and it gets you everytime..
I started out in studios making the Tea (like 90% of the producers you read about; in the good old days of analogue,when home recording was a four track and everybody hated the sound of tape hiss - yes analogue was sometimes hated - infact, my tea wasn,t very good at all, and if legend is true; Flood was the master Tea merchant..Studios were, and are a boot camp....No, they're places of slave f**** labour, they're sleep deprevation tanks, places where daylight seldom visits, where pale looking things just stare at speakers..Where little bits of beautiful magic & mistakes happen...
.I still love music
....grrrr grumpy old bastard......

How unfortunate for 'Bono' and the U2s to be found out..Tax Havens.It doesn't get better than that.
What will the Popey say !! "Bono". At last you have shown your true colours.
less of the lecturing to the great unwashed..Dont buy records that have been hyped beyond the obsurd..
Its a beautifully smug place to be, now stage exit
right..and 3 hail marys on your way

Are you listening Poluso
- Hunter S. Thompson-
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Hi Phil, are you ever in London anymore? Or have you swapped the cold damp streets and dark studios for strolling along hot sunny beaches forever? I..ll be in London for some time in May, just wondered if by any chance you..d be there, to say hi, hopefully blackmail you for some good producers mentoring advice, or just have a beer or whatever ....=D! Cheers, Tone
I know!! Haven..t been in here much. spent some time in London recently, just got back. Am doing much exiting stuff now, turns out I am writing/producing songs for myself. Scary but exiting. By the way, saturday I went to a Mexican resturant here in Trondheim and spent the night getting tequila-drunk (yes that is an expression of its own) in the bar with the owners, listening to the new Zoe album. So I remembered you, hehehe. Whats up in Boston, what are you doing?
Just stopping by to say hello!! and thank you for lending fernanda proust was a neuroscientist, i read the prologue and i just cant stop thinking about it, definitely next on my list!
