PAISLEY PARK!

I was never cool enough to come out here when Prince did the live shows, but it was great to tour Paisley Park yesterday. No photos were allowed inside, and unfortunately we only got to go into the studios’ live rooms and not the control rooms, but that’s understandable I guess. And we got to see his Linn drum machine, and play some ping pong in Studio B. Kind of emotional at times, thinking about Prince and all the great music he gave us. Glad I took the time.

ICE FOLEY

Recently froze a bunch of ice cubes to track some Foley for an ad. The action occurs off camera, so I was able to get creative as to exactly what happens. The pressure was on once the ice was frozen, of course, so I documented as much as I could before it all melted. Eventually I got all granular with the intimate friction of the cubes against each other. By the time I was done, it felt like I didn’t have hands anymore.
