“...and of course, I
heard Bill Walker express his unfounded misgivings after every performance I
saw ;-) That’s because everything I do sucks Ass! Actually Andy, in 2005 at the Zurich fest and later at Y2K5 I
was becoming bored with what I was doing and limited by the Repeater’s
quirks and low internal memory, finicky CFC issues etc. I was also sick of my
Roland GR30 and the tricks I was using to drive the RPTR with it. I also was
not happy with my tone at the time, and felt in a musical rut. I was tired of
hauling around a shit pile of gear and wanted to strip my options down a bit. That’s probably where my lousy attitude came from J I too have a hard time being
subjective about my music which is why I don’t have a recorded output
like Prince Nelson Rogers. But like him, I too am funky. I’m continually
trying to best myself, get better tones, create more interesting music, and
find new ways of utilizing the technology. Don’t get me wrong, I
actually like much of my own music, and I have a bunch of music recorded. I
just have a hard time producing myself, knowing when to stop, what to edit,
etc. It’s a bit crazy making, but I’m getting more patient with the
engineering side of music making
and recording in DAW, and being my own producer etc., I’m just a tortoise
poking along. I admire those of you out there who are more prolific. If I
had the money to quite working for a few months and hire a great producer,
Manfred Eicher would do, I would in a heart beat, but I don’t. That
being said I’m as happy and inspired as I have ever been making music,
and looking forward to Y2K8. The journey is the
destination. Bill |
