专辑简介

Music is more that just a technical moment. When you set up your own studio you have the convenience of being able to create at the spur of the moment. You capture the moment of creation. Honestly, we oftentimes keep our first take which is actually writing or creating the vocals, lyrics, or music on the spot, which can have a magical quality that cannot be recaptured when re-recorded. We have takes with tape hiss and crickets in them because the take was unmistakably the right one. It is subjective and artistic, not processed or stale. When we record in a pro studio we are basically taking a song that is ready to take on a new personality, which it invariably does. Even from one take to the next, on different days, or in our case, different years, the mood of the creative process can vary. We work very organically, if it feels forced it doesn't make it to the album. For The One Hundred, we have selected songs, both new and from the past 22 years that have that quality. Most are recorded in our home studio and others are produced in pro studios. We have mastered all of our albums with Kris Solem in Los Angeles, CA, Jim Blackwood in Tucson, AZ, JJ Golden in Ventura, CA and Grammy Award-Winning Mastering Engineer Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering in Los Angeles, CA.
