YOUR QUESTION

12/01/2020 Bobby Vinton

Hi there Trevor. As a musician and composer, you are perhaps (I don’t know if this is actually true) best known as a member of Mr. Bungle. Bungle was a band that made big, elaborate record productions with meticulous arrangements. But for a longer period of your career now you’ve operated predominantly within a jazz/live band setting as a sideman. My question is: do you ever long to be involved again in something that is production and arrangement heavy that would result in a "studio record"? I’m asking because you (and your compatriots) were so damn good at that every time you gave it a try. Cheers!

MY ANSWER

It’s harder and harder these days to do big production stuff mostly for financial reasons. That said, I’m doing some of my own producing at home. But, yeah, it would be nice to have a budget of $100k and a month in an actual studio again. I wouldn’t say no.
