Whisper In This Room

This album was recorded in the Whisper Room at Pixar Animation Studios on 4/10/99. The Whisper Room was a soundproof room used for recording scratch dialog for Pixar’s Animated features. Hana worked at Pixar at the time. This was a rainy Saturday and she had to work (they were working at that time on “Toy Story 2”), so I tagged along and availed myself of the Whisper Room for a few hours. These were the first crop of songs recorded after those on Grandma’s Album and I was nervous as to whether or not I would be stuck playing “Twisted” and “Hey Bartender” every night for the rest of my life. I guess I was afraid that my best songs had already been written. Incidentally, the events chronicled in“Bad Night” happened after the crew wrap party for “A Bug’s Life.”
