Bruce Swedien: Life in the studio

Dette var en video som ble tatt opp på Westviking Farm, og tilhørende Westviking Studio, mens Bea og Bruce bodde i Connecticut. Det er en kort presentasjon av hans liv i studioet fram til den tida (Michael Jacksons "Invincible" album hadde akkurat blitt sluppet - 2000). Dette er råopptaket, og på enden er det noen ord om den norske lenken som ble satt i scene sammen med Per "Abe" Abrahamsen og Nils Bjarne Kvam. Jeg bar den første forsterkeren inn til Larrabee Studios høsten 1991, noe ga meg tilnavnet "The Norwegian Sherpa" hos Bruce - han forelsket seg umiddelbart i disse forsterkerne. Det var en antagelse Nils Bjarne Kvam hadde, en "Shining", som dukket opp framfor han i dusjen i august 1991, noe uker seinere hadde jeg en AW 250 med meg i bagasjen over til San Francisco, for deretter å frakte den ned til nevnte Larrabee i Studio City i Los Angeles. Den historien, og en hel del mer, er å finne på min blogg - sessionnotater.com - velkommen inn! Musikken som avspilles over monitorene i studio i starten er hentet fra "Travelling Light" William James Count Basie med Big Joe Williams - ønsker du å høre musikken, og det bør du så absolutt, kan den kjøpes via Nettet - https://www.discogs.com/Joe-Williams-Count-Basie-And-His-Orchestra-Just-The-Blues/release/11058186 sangen var er komponert av Mundy, Mercer, Young. Det er også å finne som et album på Apples iTunes - https://music.apple.com/no/album/just-the-blues/1424337674?l=nb - "Just The Blues".
Here is a video that was recorded on Westviking Farm, and Westviking Studio, while Bea and Bruce were living in Connecticut. It is a short presentation of his life in the studio up to that time (Michael Jackson’s album “Invincible” had just been released – 2000). This is the raw footage, and in the end, there are a few takes on Bruce’s Norwegian link, created together with Per “Abe” Abrahamsen and Nils Bjarne Kvam. I did carry the first amplifier into Larrabee Studios on Lankershim Boulevard in Studio City in the fall of 1991, something which gave me the nick name The Norwegian Sherpa – Bruce fell in love with these amps immediately. It was the result of a “Shining” Nils Bjarne Kvam had in the shower one morning in August 1991, a few week later I had one AW 250 in my luggage flying into the USA and San Francisco, and from there I drove it down to Los Angeles, to Larrabee in Studio City. There are a few more references in my blog – sessionnotater.com – regarding Bruce. It is in Norwegian though. The music that is being played in the first few seconds of this video is “Travelling Light” sung by Big Joe Williams with the Count Basie Orchestra. If you which to hear the music, and you should, you can buy it on the Net - https://www.discogs.com/Joe-Williams-... Composer is Mundy, Mercer, Young. It is also to be found on an album through Apples iTunes - https://music.apple.com/no/album/just... - "Just The Blues".
