I know that if I went to other studios, like in Vancouver, that those are set up to be as professional and as true, so it's just a different flavour, it's a different sound, but I think both have their place. ”

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records. ”

So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well. ”

So whenever I had some in-between producing time down in my studio I popped a tape in and started working on it. Working a little bit at a time, it actually took almost four years. ”

I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine. ”

And I found that when I built my own place and just shut the door, the creativity was endless. ”

So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place! ”

I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation. ”
