David Cleveland April 19, 2005
|
 You can hear some of David Cleveland's work for 615 Music on SFL1115 Acoustic Breeze Vol. 2. We were able to catch up with David and ask him a few questions about his influences and his approach to music:
Three CDs you can't live without:
Larry Carlton - Room 335, Barney Kessel - Soaring, Howard Roberts - The Real Howard Roberts
Three of your biggest credits:
1. Steven Curtis Chapman, The Live Adventure (won Grammy)
2. Jimmy Neutron soundtrack (took my kids to the movie and they thought it was cool to hear me in the theatre)
3. 615 Music (love that Acoustic Breeze music!)
Three of your biggest musical influences:
Larry Carlton, Roy Buchanan, the 20 minute version of Freebird!
Discuss how you approach the creation of music.
For the most part it is a melody. Some little idea that I will sing. Once it sticks, I'll sit down with my guitar and computer and start shaping it up. Sometimes it can be a deadline! "We need this now!" So the hand hits the strings of the guitar and you go for gut feeling. NO,NO,NO,NO.....Yes....record......great!
