Q: I
wanted to tell you what a great, beautiful record you and Dylan made
with 'The Latin/jazz Guitars of Dominic Miller & Dylan Fowler'. I came
upon it in 1984 when I was 14 or 15 yrs old at the time and had been
taking guitar lessons. I was obsessed with the guitar and that record.
Little did you know there was a kid in Ventura, California really
digging your music. I still have a really poor copy of three songs on
it. My wish is you guys could some how have it re-released. - From
Jon
A: This
was a really rare record. As far as I remember there were only 1,000
printed. It was the first record I made and I don't even have a copy
of it. Strange I know. I wouldn't mind getting a copy myself! I am
glad you like it though.
Q: I was
wondering which guitar you used on all the demo pieces for 'Fourth
Wall'? Was it the all maple wood Kazafumi? I absolutely love your
arrangements on Marcello & Villa Lobos' pieces and the way you blended
in Iguazu. The different tones/colours and sustains that are produced
on these pieces makes me feel that it's not the usual solid body
nylon-string guitars being played. If I'm right ...I want one of those
Kazafumi guitars BIG TIME !!! - from Paul
A: You are
right about the guitar. I am addicted to this instrument and can't
seem to put it down. The difference in recording with this one (hollow
body) and a solid body guitar like the Guild, P-Project or any other
similar guitar is in the overtones. Being a real acoustic the pick-ups
are responding to the instrument as a whole rather than just what is
coming off the bridge. I hope this makes sense.
Q: What is
the significance of 'Fourth Wall'? How did you come to that title? -
from Mary
A: Fourth
Wall is a theatrical term relating to an actor either looking or
speaking to a member of the audience. It's called 'breaking the fourth
wall'.
Q: I ran
across the 'No Speak' series that IRS Records put out. I noticed you
contributed a song to it in 1991 on the 3rd volume of these albums.
Having never heard the song, is it a rock song or is it a more mellow
song? - Ken
A: It is
much more a rock song. Vinnie Colaiuta played the drums.
