20 years of Seizures Palace Recording: Album post #20: SWANS - My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky
I had worked on a few Angels of Light albums as well as on some of the albums by other artists on Young God Records when in 2009, I was approached by Michael Gira to record a new SWANS album. This was particularly meaningful to me as one of the reasons Pineal Ventana came to the studio originally in 1998 was due to Martin's work with them. I have many stories about the making of this album, some of which were recounted to Nick Soulsby for his great book SWANS: Sacrifice and Transcendence - The Oral History. Highly recommended.
I also got to play violin on a song. There's a story about that one too - ask me sometime...
