"I started in the studio in New York in 1972. The place was called Sound Ideas, on 46 Street, and it doesn't exist anymore. The chief engineer was Geoff Daking, who now makes the consoles and compressors. While I was
there I worked as an assistant on two James Brown records, the Brecker Brothers, Manhattan Transfer, and I first worked with Leonard Cohen on New Skin for the Old Ceremony. I went to Le Studio Morin Heights as a full engineer in 1975. I was there a year and worked on the first of several projects with Cat Stevens. In 1976 I returned to New York, and got a job at A&R recording. (Also not there anymore!) Did more Cat Stevens, Louden Wainwright, Janis Ian. Went freelance in 1977. More Janis Ian, film scores with Mason Daring, a series of records and a movie with Laurie Anderson. I started working with Leonard again in 1984, on Various Positions, then I'm Your Man in 1987, The Future in 1993, and Cohen Live in 1994. Field Commander Cohen is the fifth album I've worked on with him, and the new studio album will be the sixth. Other projects I've done include three records with Holly Cole, three with Perla Batalla, and film scores with Cliff Martinez. Many others, not famous." -- Leanne |
