Having been to Europe and working and traveling there, the restaurants my wife and I remember were always off the beaten trail restaurants. So I tried to seek a little 'off the beaten trail,' but cool area. ↗
We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can't hire talented people and stifle them. That's not the way it works anymore. ↗
Every band I've worked with also wants to be countercultural in the sense that they want to feel that they've gone somewhere that nobody else has been. ↗
However, I don't feel the world is looking over my shoulder when I am working - I never think about this at all. What I think about is trying to make my work pure, and if it is pure then it can be accessible. It is quite straight forward really. ↗
