All Wave… All Analog Recording

The “All Wave” philosophy, which loosely stated, is that everything should be an analog sound recording of someone playing or singing, rather than using a computer to generate or digitally manipulate sounds separated from the dimension of time in which they were performed. In short, to record All Wave one must use no computers, no digital recording, no auto-tuning, or any other mainstays of contemporary production.
Interesting, indeed. Although I personally could never do it (I love my digital samplers, digital synths, and digital, well, computer too much), I definitely think it’s a great idea. I like putting together concept records (*cough*watchoutforsomethingi’vebeenworkingon*cough*), and that’s really what this is to me. Even though the “concept” in concept records usually has to do with the music itself, this is more like a “concept recording”. I can dig it…
