 The opening track of Rich Ruth's latest album, Water Still Flows, begins in that calming, atmospheric mood that is his reputation. It's ethereal until it's not. The first version of that gets sent, and it's like a couple of synthesizer loops and a bass part. Then I send that to the drummer, and then he takes it this way. Then I put pedal steel on it, and then it spins over this way. Then that inspires me to layer six tracks of delay guitar on top of it.
