* Gavin about his work with Camus (from
Biography |
Gavin DeGraw ) :
" To keep himself from overthinking
the songs, DeGraw made FREE in less than two weeks at the Brooklyn studio of
his producer Camus Celli, who has worked with such artists as Tina Turner,
David Byrne and Arto Lindsay. DeGraw and Celli have known each other since
working together on an early version of DeGraw’s 2003 major-label debut
CHARIOT. “I’ve been in the studio with several different producers so I
already knew what I wanted,” DeGraw says. “This was my opportunity to be
involved in the production and I knew Camus could get the sounds I was going
for.”
The trust he had in Celli and the collaborative spirit of their
partnership freed DeGraw to dig deep and tap into something he hadn’t tapped
into for a while. “This album reveals the honesty about my love of music,”
he says. “It isn’t about the biggest, the strongest, or the loudest. It’s
about simplicity in its purest form. It doesn’t sound like the big machine.
It sounds like where you go to escape the big machine.” "
