Studio Quotes
-
I always loved writing songs - writing for myself and demo-ing songs, really with no intention of ever letting anyone else hear them. Finally the Foo Fighters stuff happened when I just went to the studio down the street from my house and recorded some stuff in about five or six days, and all these people wanted to release it as an album. I wanted to release it on my own, with no photos and no names on it.

Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.

The dream world of sleep and the dream world of music are not far apart. I often catch glimpses of one as I pass through a door to the other, like encountering a neighbor in the hallway going into the apartment next to one’s own. In the recording studio, I would often lie down to nap and wake up with harmony parts fully formed in my mind, ready to be recorded. I think of music as dreaming in sound.
Linda Ronstadt

We work together a lot. So we don't really sit around after five days in the studio. We've got families, so we all like to be home when we can. We're not into any rock-star lifestyle or partying or clubbing or anything. We've generally seen enough of each other by the end of the week.

When it comes to the music making, that's when we completely are open and just let anything go down in the studio. It's nice to go with whatever's happening. It's really important to just let the music come out of you.
