“No samplers, sequencers, synthesizers, drum machines, autotuning or click tracks were used during the recording of this music – just real instruments, played by real people in a real basement in Philadelphia.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with any of that stuff – I just don’t want to use it. I’m on a lifelong quest to feel the same thrill I felt as a kid when I put the mic of a little RCA tape machine on the strings of a piano and pushed Record. I played a few chords, rewound, and pushed Play – and heard something totally new!
