Part 5/19:
Reflecting on his recording history, Wilson details his early work on tape, motivated partly by his father’s background as an electronic engineer. His father built a portable, four-track tape studio for him in his teens, fostering early experimentation with multi-track recording and overdubbing. As his skills matured, he shifted to 16-track reel-to-reel machines, eventually integrating digital technology with the use of Atari ST computers and software like Creator Notator, the precursor to modern DAWs.
