An edit of an interview Jeff did discussing ‘Interstate Pulse’:
Back during the second wave of COVID related rolling lockdowns – when Victoria was particularly hard hit & with no chance of live performances, I’d been keeping busy:
my wife [Alison Ferrier] and I made an album together as the band High Ace. **BD edit here: THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING & BACK IN STOCK on both CD & VINLY!!
I also did an audiobook recording during the first year’s lockdown.
And then in between lockdowns… I’d gone and picked up a couple of instruments that had been getting stored somewhere else. And one of them was this 12-string guitar that I had made for me by David Churchill in Ballarat years ago, like 1995 or something. It’s a wonderful sounding big bold instrument & I was having fun just playing/exploring. And of course, then thought, “You know I’ve got the studio just next door, and set up in the garage space. I’ll just put a couple of microphones up, get the levels right on some preamps, had it kind of ready to go. And then if anything inspiring results from my having fun, I can just sort of walk out from the lounge room, sit in front of microphones, turn the gear on, and be recording within a couple of minutes. And then just, you know, play whatever comes to mind.” So that’s what I did.
