“At once epic and intimate, handling this large, beautifully appointed tome feels like being invited into these artists’ personal space, not just physically … but spiritually and creatively”

“A sort of philosophical guide, proving that you are not alone in taking advantage of whatever is around you in order to capture recordings and make music.… Even a non-recording music fan will still appreciate and benefit from the thoughtful interviews and gorgeous presentation.”
