They always say never meet you hero's..... well last week I did and he was a real gentleman.
Ive been working flat out ( along side Magenta) doing the music for 2 tv shows.One being Rhydian ,the guy with the white hair from X factor.
Rhydian had done War Of The Worlds tour last year, so Jeff Wayne was a guest on the show.
I sat through 3 hours of him running through Eve Of The War, with Jeff keeping cool as it went wrong around him...screens,track and orchestra..It was all OK in the end.
So after his run though I plucked up enough courage to have a chat...something I dont do easily>!
He was great and after a few looks of him thinking I was a nutter, he welcomed me into his dressing room and we spoke for over an hour.
Loads of insight into the making of the CD and the disastrous follow up Spartacus.
He was interested in my new project Kompendium and gave me lots of encouragement and advice.
He graciously took a copy to listen to....
So all in all a top chap..... you always find that the ones with the most talent and completely at ease with themselves and dont have to put a front .
Just finished Chameleon....
You always go through the last minute feelings of "its all crap"....I have real trouble signing off the mix and mastering....but thankfully the deadline forced the issue. I usually cant play the latest CD for months, because all I can hear are its faults.....
So what to do next !?????
I have a list.... ............??????
