Production
Amos finished writing and composing Abnormally Attracted to Sin during the spring and summer of 2008. Recording commenced with Amos accompanied by long-time collaborators Matt Chamberlain, Jon Evans, Mark Hawley/"Mac Aladdin" (Amos's husband), and John Philip Shenale, at Amos's husband's studio, Martian Studios, in Cornwall, with final mixing and mastering extending into the initial months of 2009.
Amos chose a dark and intricately "detailed sonic landscape" for the album, and has mentioned that the production that went into the album reminded her of the experience she and her collaborators had creating From the Choirgirl Hotel (1998), which showcased various samplers and synthesizers.
I’ve been working with the new keyboards and ultimately developing one sound. So, in a way, this record reminded me of the experience that I had From the Choirgirl Hotel, where technology and keyboards and the Bösendorfer were working together in an advanced way.On developing the sound of one of the songs and of the album in general, Amos declared, "It became much more of a technology experiment the piano being there but in this strange world."
I think that that there are a lot of different styles on the record," continued Amos in another interview. "I’ve been composing now for over 40 years, and each song in a way takes you to this different place. Maybe some of them are dark, rich caves. Hopefully there’s a nice piano player sitting there taking your request in the cave.Read more about this topic: Abnormally Attracted To Sin
Famous quotes containing the word production:
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
