Database: Mark Clifford On Squeezing The Life Out Of Equipment

“Everything’s so sophisticated in terms of equipment that you can just put a guitar through an effects pedal and you think, ‘Wow, that’s cool.’ But anyone else could have done the same thing. That ceases to interest me then because I’m not interested in doing things which are simple. I don’t think less of people for doing that, but it just doesn’t interest or excite me much. The artists I like who also like that, I feel like they really squeeze the life out of equipment and they don’t just settle on the first sound or the first idea. They really hone in on a particular idea or a sound and think ‘How can I get the best out of this sound?’ rather than having a kind of ‘that will do’ attitude.”
