GILLAN'S TIPS FOR STUDIO SUCCESS


Deep Purple are preparing to record a new album, says singer Ian Gillan. The band will enter the studio in February and aim to work on the follow-up to 2005's Rapture of the Deep the same way they've worked on all their recent studio projects.

Gillan tells MetalUnderground: "I think we are ready. We've been talking about it for some time, and I think we'll start work next February."We go into the studio with absolutely nothing - no music or lyrics whatsoever."We sit in the kitchen, having some cups of tea, talking abuot families and football. Then we go into the room and play for six hours a day. After three days some ideas begin to take shape and we start to turn them into songs.
"To prepare the main lines takes about three weeks and to deal with lyrics, recording process and mixing takes two weeks."

But the band don't subscribe to the full digital experience. Gillan explains: "There have been many technological developments recently. We use them by recording the music in analogue and mix it in digital to achieve the best result."
