Alex
Silva video interview at Mayfair Studios
|
Three
days after starting at his first studio as an
assistant Alex Silva was thrown in to the deep
end to engineer the session while the owner/engineer
rushed off for the birth of his child.
Watch the video
interview here but you need a broadband
connection and Quick Time 7.
We
met up with Alex Silva at his corner of London's
Mayfair Studios to find out about his recording
techniques and we found him to be a very open
and interesting. George Shilling fired the questions
in what we think is one of our best interviews
to date.
Alex
has worked with many leading artists, from Dave
Stewart to Paul McCartney but more recently he
has been closely involved with Herbert Groenemeyer
and has recently been awarded a five times platinum
disc for that collaboration.
Special
thanks to Alex for sparing his time and to George
Shilling for his excellent interview.

After
moving to London in 1995, Alex began his career in Record
Production. After being taken under the wing of Dave
Stewart (Eurythmics), he was taught the ropes of record
production working with many International artists including:
Texas, Mick Jagger, Daryll Hall, Marianne Faithful,
Jon Bon-Jovi and Shakespeare's Sister and movie sountracks
for Paul Verhoven, George Sluizer and Ted Demme.
In
1997 Alex Silva began to produce independently for various
artists such as Manic Street Preachers, Suede (UK),
Herbert Groenemeyer, Lunik (Switzerland) and Brainstorm
(Latvia).
