songs in a real studio, where you actually had to know how to play, not just your instrument, but also your songs as there were
no help from the “2”, and only then have it released through the proper channels. Which meant that, because promotion and
such were done via advertisements in the various magazines that covered your particular genre, your target audience were
pretty much guaranteed to know about you. These days, anyone who can afford ProTools or a similar program can afford a
couple of plug-ins; they can more or less record themselves taking a dump, run it through some plug-ins on the computer, and
voila, there is your “next big thing”. As you can tell, I’m not really a fan of that.
ION: What’s the most important thing you’d want people to know about where you are right now in your career with INFECTUS
13?
Falck: I think I am in a very great place as far as my “career” is concerned. I completely control what happens next--what my
songs are going to sound like. I am in a position where, although everyone in I13 has free reign as far as contributing and
opinions, et cetera, is concerned, I don’t have to compromise my idea of what constitutes a good song. Everyone have a say,
up until the point where I say “No, this is what we’ll do.” I don’t want to be in a position of standing with a finished album
saying “This is a great album, but…it would have been so much stronger if we had done it the way I suggested.” Yes, it is the
ultimate in selfishness and Uber control, and the downside may well be, that at the end of the day, everyone gets to point their
finger at me and say “Your ideas/way sucks” (laughs). But, oh well, that’s a risk I am willing to take. At this point in my “career”
I don’t feel I have to prove anything to anyone, except myself.
