When two worlds collide song
Walk us through the idea behind this project.Īfter making the Duality I and II EZX packs, I was toying with the idea of what it would be like to do the same thing on the theater stage. I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing, and be thankful as long as I’m able to do it. At the same time, I enjoy working with bands and artists on all levels. And having recorded with everything from international superstars like Anthrax and Machine Head, to big local pioneers like Dark Tranquillity, Evergrey and In Flames, as well as working with some of my personal childhood heroes, I’d say for me it’s already hard to top that. Oh, I don’t know, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some artists and fellow producers and mixing engineers that the younger me would have never thought possible.
What’s the one project you haven’t yet done that you absolutely love to do? What’s at the top of your bucket list? At the end of the day I go home, and at night I usually look at my calendar to see when I have a small gap between projects so I can travel somewhere. I wake up, I pet my dog, I go for a workout and then I’m off to the studio. Walk us through a regular day “in the life of Jakob Herrmann”! This is basically what I’ve been working with my whole life, and with it being my not only biggest but really my only passion, there is really nothing else I can see myself doing. I love my life, and my life is built around me being a producer, not the other way around. I’m in my studio basically every day of the week, and I don’t really have any other interests. What is it like having a career in a field which is also your biggest passion? I know it’s a bit excessive to have 30-40 snare drums in a studio (as opposed to my 10-15 guitar amps, haha!) but to me it makes perfect sense! The drum kit is the perfect instrument, and I think there is nothing more satisfying than a well-produced drum sound.Ībout engineering and recording, you’ve said that it’s your job but also your passion.
WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE SONG HOW TO
Ever since I got my first drum kit, I’ve been obsessed with understanding how to make certain sounds and what it is that makes drums sound the way they do. But drums just makes my heart beat a little faster. I love all instruments, and I actually started out as a piano player. You have a true passion for drums and particularly for recording them. I’ve never been much into songwriting, but I’ve always found it fascinating to record other people’s music and make it the absolute best it can be, and that mindset hasn’t changed one bit.
After that it was basically “all systems go” for sitting in the producer’s chair instead of on the drum throne. After that I went to music school as a drummer, and there happened to be a studio where I spent every single moment I could spare for two years. My first band did very DIY-type recordings in our jam space. I was always interested in recording and most of all producing. How come you finally ended up behind the console as opposed to on the stage? Where does the interest for recording come from? You started out playing music already at the age of five.
