“I take my tape, and I put it on the shelf and as I’m leaving the studio, Bob Dylan is sitting in the waiting room. He’s waiting to get in, and he liked slap echo. And there’s my beautiful stereo guitar backwards orchestra and they grab it and they’re using that for slap for Bob Dylan. I get in there the next day, half of it is half of my backwards guitar orchestra and the rest, because I had to bring it back to speed, is a munchkin Bob Dylan just going (imitates Dylan).”
“That moment of discovery is so special – the floodgates just open up – and the great thing is, it can continue to happen your whole life. I never really listened to Bob Dylan until fairly recently, and now I have every one of his records. It’s like a new life treasure when you find an artist who you resonate with. I love that feeling.”
