After listening to their demos I was immediately interested, and before I knew it I was in Amsterdam rehearsing!" They had tracked me down in Italy while I was on tour with Little Steven, and asked me if I would be interested in producing their debut album for EMI/Electrola. "Way back in 1985, I had the pleasure of producing and playing keyboards for an exciting new band called Hammerhead. Here is a reprint of my liner notes from the CD: Besides producing, I also played keyboards on some of the tracks." The band featured the talents of Dutch guitarist Wilco Van Beek and British singer Ian Parry, as well as former Good Rats drummer Joe Franco. The tracks were recorded at Electrola Studios in Cologne, Germany and mixed at Powerplay Studios in Zurich, Switzerland.

"This was my first full album production. Unfortunately, the incomplete liner notes in the album did not properly credit everyone involved on this project." "I would like to personally thank Vora Vor for her dedicated assistance throughout this project. Because of the unique nature of this album, the record company (Pony Canyon) decided on two simultaneous releases: one targeted for the classical audience (released on the Canyon Classic label) and the other targeted for the typical Yngwie Malmsteen listener." "The Concerto was recorded in Prague by the Czech Philharmonic in June, 1997 and was released February 4th, 1998 in Japan. When all was said and done, I ended up with more than 1500 pages of music! Just to proof-read the entire score and all the parts took me almost 2 months!!" "As part of my job as orchestrator, I also had to create all of the parts booklets for each of the individual musicians in the orchestra. Then Yngwie overdubbed his guitar parts and was able to make comments and suggestions, which I later incorporated into the score." Instead, I had to create the 'Rosenthal Philharmonic' (using 7 Kurzweil synthesizers) and record a demo of the entire piece by playing every one of the parts. So I couldn't present him with my score and say, 'what do you think?'. Although he is a brilliant guitarist, Yngwie doesn't read music. "Another interesting part of the whole process was creating a demo of my orchestration for Yngwie. I was then able to generate laser printed copies which were later leather-bound and used by the conductor during the recording sessions."

First I wrote the entire score by hand, and then it was entered into my computer using a software program called Overture.

"After the long, tedious process of transcribing more than an hour of Yngwie's ideas for the concerto, it was then time to begin the orchestration. So, my orchestration ended up being performed by a 90 piece orchestra with 40 piece choir!"

But, due to union rules every musician in the orchestra was contracted to play at the recording session.

My 307 page score for the Millennium Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor was originally written for 65 piece orchestra plus choir. "It took me nearly nine months to complete the orchestration of Yngwie's 'Opus 1.
