Nigel Godrich, toilettes et studio d'enregistrement...

Petites citations - en anglais - du célèbre producteur Nigel Godrich à propos des studios d'enregistrement standardisés. J'aime beaucoup la comparaison!

"I hate studios myself- the idea of going somewhere where you know 200 million people have done the same thing - it's like using a public toilet. You don't feel like it's your space. You deliver in an office- which is basically what a studio is" he begins. "Radiohead have always responded badly to studios. You've only got to have one bad experience in that kind of environment and it'll stay with you." 

Radiohead ayant eu carte blanche en 1997 pour acheter le matériel nécessaire à la production de leur album "Ok Computer", le groupe s'installe pour enregistrer dans "leur maison" à Oxford, puis dans un château du sud de la France.

Et la légende est née...

"It's difficult to work out what contributes to these feelings" continues Nigel. "At the end of the day it has got a particular feel to it. As you're in that state of mind you don't see that happening, which is great because it almost takes you over. You don't dictate what happens, it just happens and you don't know about it". 

U2 avait enregistré dans une salle de danse le fabuleux "Achtung baby", Deep Purple son mythique "Machine Head" dans un hôtel suisse, Bruce Springsteen son "Nebraska" chez lui...
A bas les préjugés et vive la création!
