about

I thought I'd try a different approach to composing utilizing the studio like another instrument, so I asked Sean Rickman to send me a 5 minute or so file of just his drums. He sent along something he called "Three". I listened to it over many days and recorded some keyboard bass tracks which divided the drum track into 4 distinct sections and time signatures. Then I sent them to Guy Segers and asked him to both duplicate the keyboard basses with his bass but also add his own bass structures / solos. Once we had the rhthym tracks down, I went back over it and added some extra keys, reeds, mallets from Rich O'Meara and guitar from Mark Stanley. For Rich's marimba parts, I asked him to duplicate Guy's bass solo in that second part. In order to do that, Rich notated the solo and then read from that! Astounding! Mark, as always, brings home the beauty and intensity. I really liked how this new way of writing turned out; because Sean was not reacting to what the rest of us were playing, his fills and phrases came out being very different, very unpredictable. I like that. BTW, the 'Close' here is read like close the door.
