Influences: "The building of a studio is a heavy responsibility, like creating a child. For me, the recording studio is a holy place. A studio is never turned off; perpetually powered up, it has a window on immortality. It is a galaxy of electronic variables and carbon-based elements flying in formation: integrated circuits, relays, transformers, motors, tape, capstans, coils, knobs, sliders, exotic materials, wood and glass, all in the service of music. It is the bridge of our own music-making starship, which it resembles to a remarkable degree. The studio controls us as much as we believe we control it. It is a living, breathing organism that is ever-changing, acoustically, electronically, psychologically. It can be a beast, benign or treacherous. It has a pulse, a voice, an opinion, and a soul. Certainly, from the first moment it is switched on, a studio generates ghosts. It gets sick, tired, it makes funny noises trying to tell us what is wrong. It cries for a kind word or a gentle hand laid on its ailing insides. We nurse each other back to health and service." Jac Holzman--Founder of Elektra Records
