Trans-Siberian Orchestra Quotes

I have my own studio, but I also record a lot of stiff at my producer�s studio in Astoria, NY. I don�t like to do too much recording at my own place because you kind of get too much absorbed in �yourself� and the sounds that you have, the ideas that you have; actually I have started writing again this time I have considered doing the more of the project at home because there are some things I would like to do because I think I need to spend a little more time on. When you get into a studio, you tend to get under people�s financial and emotional time clock, there�s only so much that anybody can take of what you are doing and afford a lot of times and trying to make something work, but I think if I can do some of these things at home, I can get these things at exactly the point of where I want it, so I think with the next record, I think I�m going to do a little bit more of it at home.

Before I stared singing, I definitely would write a guitar riff and record it and have a tape full of riffs and listen through it and find the ones that I want and maybe develop some of them into a song. Every once in a while, the song kind of wrote itself, where it would finish from start to end in your head and then I stared singing, so then I started writing lyrics and other things first; so whereas now other songs I�m completing I have completed the music and the melodies even before I have written one riff.
