Each fractured time signature, every dissonant choirboy harmony, they all point to something that is distinctly Vanderslice. |
In general, Vanderslice doesn't let anyone go beyond a third take. |
Samuel Barber, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Roger Quilter, Howard Skempton, John Vanderslice and Ralph Vaughan Williams composed music based on his poems. |
In 2004, the studio started making money, so Vanderslice quit Chez Panisse to run the place full-time, and later built a second, twelve-hundred-square-foot room. |
The expansion into Oakland will help Vanderslice stay put by giving him even more bands to engineer and more records to make. |
