Where are you based?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

London\/Basingstoke, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How, when and where did you start making music? Are you primarily a musician or a producer, or do something else?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist working in jazz and jazz-adjacent styles. I\u2019m from Glasgow but moved to London in 2011 to study at a jazz school and very quickly found myself gigging and recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who would you consider some of your biggest influences when it comes to your \u201csound\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is always evolving, but some formative influences on my sound include drummers Brian Blade, Jim Keltner and more recently Tony Allen and Jaki Liebezeit. Jon Hopkins\u2019 track Open Eye Signal and Dijon\u2019s track \u201cMany Times\u201d had an influence on my approach to the drums too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explain your creative process. Do you have a routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My process can be pretty unstructured. In the past I\u2019ve just played loads and allowed space for inspiration to occur. Songs have just appeared through calm exploration. Now that I have a growing family I\u2019m looking at ways of being more deliberate but it\u2019s not a very fixed process, especially given my sporadic schedule as a touring musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your \u201cstudio\u201d setup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not much of a gearhead, but I\u2019m very proud of my home studio space. It\u2019s a nice airy room with DIY sound panels on the wall, loads of percussion, a couple of drum kits and an acoustic piano that\u2019s midi-compatible. I have microphones that I\u2019m very pleased with and some fruit trees outside the window. Proper little haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your process when working with other people? How is collaboration different in the studio vs working remotely? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every collaboration feels different to me so this is a tough one to pin down. That said, I like collaborating in person and remotely and I tend to have ideas so I\u2019m ready to lead things if necessary but allow plenty of space for others\u2019 personalities too. The drums have such inherent power over the mood of a song so I don\u2019t like to dictate too much what other musicians are doing in the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At what point(s) are you comfortable letting other people hear what you are working on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll let trusted family\/friends\/colleagues listen to things I\u2019m working on throughout the process. Yesterday I let some bandmates listen to terrible voice notes of song \u2018ideas\u2019 which I must have thought were good at the time. Embarrassing yourself and finding ways to be comfortable with your inadequacies is healthy for a performer and artist I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you know when a track\/album is finished?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I listen back and feel satisfied. That’s it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you listen to the final mixes\/mastered work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After I listen in the studio and on my nice headphones I like to listen in acoustically imperfect situations – the car, laptop speakers, phone speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who on your team gets to hear the final versions first and why, what formats do they each need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bandmates and my family and friends get to hear it first – I\u2019ll tend to send a private SoundCloud<\/a> and\/or Dropbox<\/a> to the wavs and mp3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of your inner circle who are the people that will need to hear the new tracks next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probably reviewers and broadcasters will hear it next, ahead of release. Sending for feedback and support ahead of the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything you are working on, anyone you are working with and want to share? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m currently very excited for a duo project with Norman Willmore<\/a>, a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist from Shetland. We\u2019re working on music from our shared Scottish heritage and presenting it in new ways suitable to the modern era and through the lens of two open-minded jazz musicians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6184,"template":"","categories":[14],"class_list":["post-6180","methodtomymusic","type-methodtomymusic","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-methodtomymusic"],"yoast_head":"\nCorrie Dick | #MethodToMyMusic -
