Aqueduct - Or Give Me Death - 2006 (+ 5 bonus track)(75 Mb)¿Cómo se te ocurrió el nombre Aqueduct?Fue de causalidad; me empezó a gustar de a poco. Lo que sucedía es que me tocaba viajar mucho entre Los Angeles y San Francisco. Me llamaban la atención los acueductos que hay en California.Cuéntanos sobre el proceso creativo de Aqueduct y en especial sobre la producción de Or Give Me Death.Cambia según la canción, pero siempre es una melodía que tengo en la cabeza. Me sorprendo estructurando la melodía y arreglando los acordes y la verdad es que surge rápido. Las letras son lo último y por lo general son de cosas triviales. Esta vez trabajé con mas gente en el estudio. Armé un grupo con Jason Holstrom y Charlie Smith; ellos me ayudaron con los arreglos de cuerdas, vientos y las baterías de este álbum. Fue en proceso colaborativo en el que yo controlaba la producción.¿Cómo lograste fichar con Barzuk?La persistencia es el método perfecto. Por favor, menciona 5 discos
A bit of history. The Old Croton Aqueduct was built 160 years ago. The Aqueduct runs a distance of 41 miles from the Croton Dam in Westchester County all the way to 42nd Street in Manhattan. 15 miles of the Aqueduct is in New York City.
