Anyone familiar with these three albums will be wondering what on earth I'm on about, as many of the tracks feature extensive musical arrangements with a wide variety of other instrumentation – but this this was all added after the original voice and piano recordings. This marked a significant departure for Tori, in that she no longer recorded as a solo singing piano player, thanks to contributions from guitarist Steve Caton. Following the positive reception afforded some of their live recordings, which were released as B‑sides, Mark and Marcel were asked to engineer Tori's 1996 follow‑up album, Boys for Pele. Mark was the tour's FOH engineer, with Marcel on monitors. Under the Pink followed in 1994, and it was during the tour to support this second solo album that Mark Hawley and Marcel Van Limbeek first met up with Tori. Little Earthquakes, released in 1992, paved the way for the huge following she now enjoys. Tori's first piano and voice solo album, however, made quite an impression. The band was not a huge success and their only, eponymously‑titled, album was largely ignored. The fact that you have probably never heard of them says it all. By 1984 she had moved to Los Angeles and signed her first record deal, with Atlantic Records, for her band Y Kant Tori Read. In the late '70s, at the age of 13, she was playing popular easy‑listening standards in the hotels around her home town of Washington. On the eve of her forthcoming 200‑date tour, Hugh Robjohns talked to Mark Hawley & Marcel Van Limbeek about recording Tori's latest album and engineering the live tour.įor Tori Amos, success was anything but an overnight affair. Tori Amos may not yet have attained the same status in the UK that she enjoys in the US, but that hasn't stopped her setting up her own studio in a quiet corner of Cornwall. Mark Hawley - engineer for Tori Amos, both on tour and in the studio.
