Creating a Sound in a Studio

In the studio, you can lose yourself entirely. And that can be a really narcotic and wonderful thing. But it can be easy to forget that the main purpose of what you're doing is to make a piece of music that is heard by some one else. It was about opening up the walls and inviting people into the process. Sometimes the people invited into the recording area would erupt into applause - not something you generally want in a studio recording. This was one of the manifestations where you could tell people were on our side, or invested and wanting it to work.
