What's all this "glowing" stuff?
To capture the feel of the guitars and vocals, I'm using all-valve preamps and amps... the valves ("tubes", for those of you who speak a diferent English) have a gloriously rich character, and every session is a bit different from other sessions... depending on how hot the valves get, how long and how hard they're driven they give uniquely different tonal characteristics.
The valve-based sound brings out the soul of an instrument. The beauty as well as the imperfections are all shown in all their shades of vulnerability. My use of pictures of glowing valves on this site (and I intend to do that as well as on my album cover) is to honor the venerable glowing valves.
The Glow will go on.
