Pretty awesome interview with NYC engineer Adam Scheuermann talking about recording Coldplay and what their process is like in the studio. Coldplay info starts around question 3 i think...

They joke around so much that I think that's how they get through the monotonous moments.

:nice: :heart:

There was definitely a lot of work done, but I can't forget that we converted half of the gym-size live room into a cricket field to take cricket breaks throughout the day. Will made a bat out of a broom handle and a cardboard box, and everyone would play. It was awesome! There was nothing more surreal than Chris Martin running at you full speed and then pitching a tennis ball at you cricket-style. The best part was the rush that you thought every hit was going to break one of the $3K - $5K mics that were set up around the room.

:stunned: :laugh3: A cricket field!

 

Thank you very much for the link!!!

Thanks for that, it was really interesting.

"The thing I like about Coldplay is that they are all very talented musicians and they can all play multiple instruments as well as sing. While writing, it is clear that everyone contributes equally rather than having someone dictate what everyone else would play, and all ideas are tried. They just stand in a circle facing each other like every other band and try to come up with parts. If they don't like something, they just all start laughing. They joke around so much that I think that's how they get through the monotonous moments. They really are all good friends and they enjoy working together, and they all have the same vision. I think most bands struggling today don't have a common goal, and their different priorities make it impossible for them to stand out even if their sound is good."

 

:) aaawww

THat made me :lol:

i just wanna hear some of those early demos...

sounds like recording is fun :D

It probably is with Coldplay around :D

Based of what is said..the boys work hard to create music but are quite laidback sometimes..

They just know when to work and when to have a break and have fun :nice:

And it always amazes me how they can maintain good relationship with each other especially during intense moments..

It can be quite a hard thing to do..

adam is an awesome engineer. he mixed my band's newest singles...

It was recorded by Jesse Cannon (Animal Collective, The Cure) and then mixed by Adam in NY.

Very Nice.... Thank-You:)

Interesting article, though it does sound like this was around the time of the infamous "crap session musician" period.

:lol: So funny :wacky: :heart::heart:!! Thanks a lot!!:D.
