Go pick up Kanye’s album

November 24th, 2008

808s & Heartbreak just came out today. Make sure you pick it up! 

I worked on that song “Robocop”, I’ll tell you more about it soon… But for now, enjoy this video of me and the dude talking about our beards. This was filmed before my stay in Paris… My beard was oh-so-young back then. (Cue reminiscing harp sound)

Around the World pt. 2

October 13th, 2008

As posted on the fab Fader blog.

When we last left off I had just arrived in LA to link up with Kanyeezy. He’s finishing up this 808′s & Heartbreak album much faster than his typical pace and we wanted to catch up on the music before I head out to Paris, where I’ll be living for the fall. He was recording in an undisclosed location with a nice courtyard with patio chairs. Usually, studio sessions in LA or New York are hell because everyone wants to come and hang out, but not this one. Actually, when I showed up he was doing an interview. He also had a meeting with Vanessa Beecroft which led to them collaborating on his listening party—you’ve probably seen the flyer on the blogosphere. I listened to the whole album and then once everyone left we went over a bunch of the songs and made some tweaks and exchanged some ideas. There were songs where he wasn’t quite happy with the effects on his voice so I took some stems and worked on them in the following days. We stayed at the studio pretty late appreciating each other’s beards and finally called it a night.
