Great interview with a great engineer. Lessons: 1) Don’t over do it and 2) Let the artist dictate the result.

Amazing..

Patience and an open mind is rewarded by an artist who quite obviously has these qualities in spades

Process:

Francisco Uzabeaga’s intention is to develop a visual insight of the nature of the model. His pictorial language has a basis referencing images found in magazines and encyclopedias from the eighties, such as the newspaper supplement “Icarito”, issues from the Salvat encyclopedia, and even printed calendars from those years. He copied them through painting, trying to faithfully reproduce every printout attribute (dithering pattern, tint mismatch, chromatic effects, etc.), without questioning quality or textures of these antique images.

“I had to be really on the ball, with no space for distractions, no picking up of cell phones or anything. It was a matter of being on all the time. Warren may start playing one instrument, and then halfway decide to pick up another one, and the very first thing he plays on this second instrument may be the bit that we need. So I have to set things up in such a way that no matter what he plays and when he plays, it’s going to sound great. It was the same with everyone else. Also, the Bad Seeds are the band with the greatest dynamic range that I have ever worked with, going from a whisper to extremely loud, and this meant that I had compressors on all microphones, for most of the time just ticking over and not doing anything, but just to make sure that if they were playing really loud, things wouldn’t be overloading in an unusable.”

There's something about biro art... Blows my mind like when my friend in 3rd grade drew a cat. Not with the M, the O and the Q, a cat. Pieces like this blow the little me's mind 10-fold.

"Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven't been able to watch the news too much recently, so I'm not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn't imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it's level."  - Ms. Lauryn Hill
