Oz Fritz interview

[NewAndImprov]

Just wanted to drop a line about how enjoyable and inspirational it was to read the interview with Oz Fritz. That guy has been behind many of my favorite records. If you haven't seen it yet, he and Prairie Sun have an awesome cameo in "Electric Apricot," a must-see film that is the Spinal Tap of the jamband world.

I agree, great interview. I wasn't all that familiar with his stuff, but I'll be checking it out. The guy thinks a lot like I do in the studio.... or perhaps more accurately I think a lot like he does....

Totally love nearly all the stuff he's done with Bill Laswell - so it was a treat for me to get to see the interview as well. Thanks TapeOp!

Best regards,

Oz is a brilliant engineer and I've learned so much of the craft from assisting him at PSR. Just a quick correction - the studio in Electric Apricot is actually In The Pocket, another Sonoma County studio. He did tell me that his "the drums are the lettuce of the salad" line was pure improv - about Oz's style of humor too.

We're trying to get more of a Prairie Sun video presence on the internet, but in the meantime you can see Studio C at Prairie Sun in Brain's latest DW Drums video (featuring Buckethead) and in these videos of the Everest tracking session last fall - http://www.vimeo.com/9335548

Of all the wonderful interviews on Tape Op, this one made me wanna reach out and touch the guy with an email. Just exuded good friendly vibes. In the Tape Op tradition. Nice part o the country, too. Lotta good friends and fond memories out that way.
