Part 2/9:
A Tinkerer at Heart
Schultz's engineering background wasn't just a hobby; it was an integral part of his music-making process. His relentless tinkering led him to build equipment that didn't even exist at the time, allowing him to explore sonic landscapes that no one had dared to traverse. In an era when home recordings often resulted in lo-fi, unpolished works, Schultz sought to flip the script. Instead of embracing minimalism, he aimed to capture the exhilarating experience of a full band roaring through an arena—striving to give listeners a front-row experience from the comfort of their living rooms.
