RUSH's Alex Lifeson - "I've Been A Little Bit Unmotivated Lately"
July 2, 2009, 15 years ago
A new interview with RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson, conducted by Mike Mettler of Sound & Vision Magazine, focuses on the Snakes & Arrows Live Blu-Ray Disc which recently took home the Excellence in Disc Audio award at the 2009 International Digital Media Alliance Excellence Awards. Alex specifically discusses his experience working with Rich Chycki, who apparently moved into Alex's home studio in May. An excerpt reads as follows:
You and [surround co-mixer] Richard Chycki really seem to be in tune in how you approach mixing your material.
"Rich is very settled in with the way that he hears the band, which certainly helps. Actually, he just moved into my home studio, Lerxst Sound, back in May. We just did a big renovation there; we redid the control room. Now we're all set to do some serious work out of there. Well, more serious work."So there are other things in the works?
"Yeah, I hope so! I mean, I've got some time off [chuckles]. I've been a little bit unmotivated lately, since we've been working so much over the last seven or eight years. But the things that we've done physically in the studio have been inspiring, so we're planning to do a bunch of things. Rich has a number of projects, including some Rush stuff, that he'll be continuing to work on at the studio."To read the interview in its entirety, click here.
