THE APPROACH
GOOD MUSIC
NEEDS ROOM
TO HAPPEN.
Understand the artist. Understand the song. Know what needs to happen next. Technical knowledge should make that easier, not get in the way.
THE PHILOSOPHY
PRO
WITHOUT
THE
THEATRE.
Confident, calm and human. Artists can arrive completely prepared or still figuring it out. Both are valid.
LISTEN FIRST
Find the thing that makes the song worth making.
CAPTURE THE MOMENT
When a performance happens, capture it. Do not overthink a moment that is already working.
TAKE THE TIME
When the record needs a real decision, make the right one rather than the fast one.
NO EGO
The record is the important thing. Everything else supports it.
