When you make the shift to artist, emotion, idea, and song above all else, all those technical dilemmas dissolve. You open up the mental energy for creativity and resourcefulness to evolve to a higher level. The resonance you experience with your artist and collaborators goes way deeper, and you generate an environment for everyone’s best work to flourish. Say the guy sitting in front of a bling modular synth 😂 Seriously though, I only use the gear in this shot a few times for very specific purposes, will often go months without touching it because we’ve created such strong focal points for production by honing concept, ideas, and emotion to such high levels.
