Suite: Jason, thanks for taking the time. The obvious first question is the classical influence on your sound, the orchestral arrangements. Did you study/play classical?
Jason: Well, I am a "self-taught musician", if there is such a thing. However, Andy Dollerson, who co-wrote most of the music, was classically trained in his homeland of England. He has a degree in composition. Dave, our bass player, has his undergrad degree in music from UT (University of Texas). Ali, my wife, has extensive vocal training, and Cory and Joe, on drums and bass, are just so gifted for being youngsters. Additionally, Ali and I are very influenced by score composers such as Thomas Newman and Hans Zimmer.
Our song-writing process generally goes something like this: basically I am just a songwriter with a decent voice. Ali and the other guys in the band are the real talent. The songwriting process is a synergistic one. I write the framework of a song - theme, lyrics, chord progressions, basic ideas. Ali will be the first filter, especially for the lyrics and vocal melody. She also co-writes the lyrics on some of the tunes. Then I will take the song to Andy, who usually changes some of the chord progressions, arrangement, and melodies (always for the better). After we've established a "final" song, we will take it to the guys, who always have great suggestions on how to make it better.
