The January/February 2006 issue of
TapeOp Magazine, which focuses on the nitty-gritty of recording
technology and is published in the US, features an indepth interview
with Nick Mason, with a focus on Pink Floyd sessions over the years.

The interview covers the gamut of
recording sessions, right from the early days, with their initial work
in Sound Techniques Studio in London - Nick's razor-sharp memory even
recalling which tracks were used for which instruments - through to the
late seventies and the use of Abbey Road, and then their own Britannia
Row studios.
Along
the way, Nick discusses how tracks such as "Saucerful Of Secrets" were
created, by drawing up a chart of "what was going to happen" and at
what stage. Interestingly, the track was worked on as three seperate
pieces, and "assembled further down the line."
A lengthly segment talks of the
Atom Heart Mother sessions, and the problems in recording and touring
with a large bunch of musicians.
"It was bloody difficult. The whole
logistics of travelling with them, and recording them, and mic'ing them
up - frankly, I would have said we were pretty relieved when we got
back to being a four piece."
Nick also talks of the future.
With the forthcoming translations of his book, "Inside Out", into
Czechoslovakian, Romanian and Bulgarian, he can forsee plenty of work
around them.
He also reiterates a comment that he has made elsewhere,
that he "really enjoyed writing and perhaps... will look to write
something else."
More details of the magazine, including how to obtain it, can be found through TapeOp.com. Our thanks to TapeOp's Larry Crane, and also Todd Quade, for their help.
