[Snakes Alive! The S&V Interview with Alex Lifeson of Rush]

A new interview with Alex Lifeson conducted by Mike Mettler of Sound & Vision Magazine titled Snakes Alive! The S&V Interview with Alex Lifeson of Rush has been posted online. The focus of the interview is the Snakes & Arrows Live Blu-ray which recently took home the Excellence in Disc Audio (Blu Ray Disc) award at the 2009 International Digital Media Alliance Excellence Awards. Alex specifically discusses his experience working with Rich Chycki, who apparently moved into Alex's home studio in May:

... You and [surround co-mixer] Richard Chycki really seem to be in tune in how you approach mixing your material.

Rich is very settled in with the way that he hears the band, which certainly helps. Actually, he just moved into my home studio, Lerxst Sound, back in May. We just did a big renovation there; we redid the control room. Now we're all set to do some serious work out of there. Well, more serious work.

So there are other things in the works?

Yeah, I hope so! I mean, I've got some time off [chuckles]. I've been a little bit unmotivated lately, since we've been working so much over the last 7 or 8 years. But the things that we've done physically in the studio have been inspiring, so we're planning to do a bunch of things. Rich has a number of projects, including some Rush stuff, that he'll be continuing to work on at the studio. [Just what some of those projects might be will be covered in an interview I did with Chycki that will post in the fall.] ...

It's good to hear that they're working on some more projects! Thanks to rosmakloma for the heads up.
