The Key To Zeppelin's Longevity Has Been

I Don't Want To Get Too Dippy About All This. If You Take The View Of The Scientist And Everything Is In A State Of Vibration, Then Every Note Is A Vibration, Which Has A Certain Frequency, And You Know That If You Put 40 Beats Into A Frequency It's Going To Be The Same Note Every Time. You Take That Into Infrasound And People Can Be Made To Be Sick, Actually Killed. Taking It The Other Way, Not To Be Too Depressing, What About Euphoria, Etc., And What About Consciousness Being Totally... No, I Won't Go Into That One. Time Warps.

You Can't Expect To Be The Same Person You Were Three Years Ago. Some People Expect You To Be And Can't Come To Terms With The Fact That If A Year Has Elapsed Between Lps, That Means One Year's Worth Of Changes. The Material Consequently Is Affected By That, The Lyrics Are Affected By That... The Music Too.

You Know What You Can Gain When You Sit Down With The Moroccans. As A Person And As A Musician. That's How You Grow.

I Like Change And I Like Contrast.

There's A Very Old Recording Maxim That Goes, 'distance Makes Depth.' I've Used That A Hell Of A Lot-whether It's Tracking Guitars Or The Whole Band. People Are Used To Close-miking Amps, But I'd Have A Mic Out Around The Back, As Well, And Then Balance The Two. Also, You Shouldn't Have To Use Eq In The Studio If The Instruments Sound Right. You Should Be Able To Get The Right Tones Simply With The Science Of Microphone Placement.
