Database: John Foxx On Combining Possibilities In A Unique Way

“You soon find out what the emotional range of an effect is. By that, I mean how it is applicable to the sort of material you wish to write, how it affects what you do and gives you further ideas.”

“It’s the only way to do it when everybody’s got virtually the same equipment. In a pro studio even, you face the same task as an amateur at home, you’ve got to combine these possibilities in a way that’s unique to you. That’s always the challenge. In fact, that’s the name of the game as far as one aspect of recording is concerned—the creative use of the equipment around you so that it sounds unique when it’s all put together.”

John Foxx (1985)
