Interview with Kentaro SUZUKI
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Poetic : )
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: As a bass player... Listen to a song over and over to understand it. Have an idea of where and how to play it. Then, look at the lead sheet and check the details. Record sketches of ideas and phrases to match the song, then check to see if they match the song. Then, record the song. ------------------------------------------------- As a composer... Digest the ideas given to you. Write as many sketches as possible using music notation software with the idea in mind. I take the sketches that give me a natural flow of ideas. I write the song to the end and then start the actual recording process. The recording process also brings me ideas, and I try them out as I go.
