 »Hello, I would like to send you a copy. It will remain my current CD anyway. As far as I can humanly judge, I will not produce any more. In my experience, it has become pointless. Sales have been steadily declining (at least for me) for years. What is new is that the SWR in Mainz (alongside the SR still my house broadcaster) refused to accept this CD at all. The reason: poorly produced. At Pentecost I was a guest in a program on SWR 4 for two hours in the evening. But this CD was not even allowed to be mentioned. Thank you and I wish you all the best.« —Manfred Pohlmann —Ulrich Balß (JARO Medien)  »After the collaborative experimentation of Maroon, I’ve been drawn back toward the acoustic world that spawned me. I’ve taken to playing a lot more fingerstlye guitar lately, and making recordings where I’m singing and playing at the same time. These recordings are technically less perfect, but to me, there’s something truer about them. It’s as close as you can to just hearing someone play for you in your house, in your room. It’s an approach attractive to me on an aesthetic level, and a philosophical one. In this day and age of auto-tune and every plug-in you would ever want to make your record sound BIG BIG BIG, I feel like, how is that special if everyone can do it? What can you do as a person in the world, as a unique person in the world, that’s unlike anyone else? Get rid of the machines. Put as few things as possible between the sound in the room and the sound in the speaker. Strip it down, all the way down, and sing and play at the same time, and record that.« —Korby Lenker |
