It is interesting to listen to Mike about what he is doing. Love his Music for many years. And he and several others give inspiration to carry on. And being a Musician and recording in my little studio whith the things I have give me the oppetunity to try everything producing my own music and playing the instruments which I am skilled in... I am a Bassist from origine but guitars and keys as well, what the classic parts are leave and ask it to my daughter who is a graduated violist and piano player.... ( I am an autodidact pianist) but always give it a shot myself...
I find this sort of hilarious - that everyone is inspired by Mike and would like to be able to make music like (not copying his style) him. And there he is, listening to multi-million sellers and pulling it to pieces. I've worked on a piece I wrote for my wife in 85 and recorded on analogue gear. I over saturated the bass and guitar. So, every time she plays it to her friends, I hate the imperfections. I've worked on it anew, using live instruments and plugins, a DAW with no limitations, better gear and she listens to it and says ''it's changed'' - it's lost that immediacy. I'm aiming for perfection and for her, the perfection is in the moment that I recorded it first. In terms of Mike, his re-visiting Tubular Bells is an expensive exercise, only to get customer reaction of - ''the old one was better.'' But, I must admit, I usually do not like ''Digitally re-mastered.'' I'll give them a listen to see, but often the case is that I prefer the performance of the original. And for myself, I'm seriously thinking of going back to analogue - because I think I have a different mentality to when I put it into record. It's good learning from the experts. Thanks for the interview.
According to another interview, he got a bit fed up with technology after making Earth Moving in 1989, which is why Amarok from 1990 is mainly made without a lot of new technology.
The engineering & production aspect has changed dramatically over the years that Mike has been making & producing music; it seems to have become more accessible to the wider public through various software programs, but could this be to the detriment of upcoming talented musicians in terms of music creation?
Genius ! Poland Love Mike Oldfield ;-)
And my little corner of the UK loves Poland for backing Ukraine, t.
Best regards
His first 4 albums show a genius that is to this day a standout from all the other musicians of his time.
There are very few people who, in addition to being a genius, are honest and very sympathetic. Mike is 1 of them. Nice upload, txs
Mr.Oldfield is never without honesty and sincerity..Thanks for the music...And the upload..
What exactly you mean? Sarcasm? Hypocrisy? Bias?
I love Mike Oldfield. Thanks
hi Derek, what do you think about Retunr to Ommadanw? For me its a very good album. Probably the best in 20 years
