I wanted to live in a house. I wanted to have a place where I could record at home - all of these things I'd wanted to do for years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I moved my studio to Palm Springs 'cause I don't like the idea of going to a studio every day like a job... I need to make a personal record, so I need to be in a house... I don't want to be in a studio where people can hear the music 'cause I don't know what it is yet.
I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.
I like recording by myself wherever I can, just because then I feel like I have ultimate freedom, and I can just control whatever I want to put down. There's something about going into your own little world.
My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.
I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England; it'd be nice in September or October.
I don't have a formal home recording studio, but I can record tracks on my computer upstairs in my office.
I now have a home recording studio, which I can operate entirely on my own, as well as a portable version of the same which allows me to record anywhere I like and simply swap out the hard drives for use in the home studio.
I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.
I want to live my life, not record it.
