GGGARTH RICHARDSON INTERVIEW (2003)

After leaving Dub Narcotic Studios in Olympia WA, I drove back to Vancouver to The Armoury where I had started my journey with David Bottrill. Garth was there recording Level 4 and had agreed to the interview beforehand, so I was lucky enough to catch him on the way back through Vancouver.

After our interview, he offered up his assistant Michael Elvis Baskette and pro-tools expert Ben Kaplan for interviews. You will see those interviews posted next.
