Paul Savoy of A-ha: Inside His SoHo Song Incubator

April 1, 2012 by David Weiss   

MANHATTAN: The streets of SoHo  are paved with cobblestones. Walking down these historic blocks on a cool March afternoon, its easy to wonder where on Earth you actually are, and when – you could be far in the future or deep in the past.

Now imagine that your present trek is leading you to a studio where deadlines have all but disappeared, and the only pressure is to advance the art of songwriting even further: The front door you arrive at belongs to none other than Pål Waaktaar Savoy a.k.a Paul Savoy , co-founder of the globally embraced group A-ha .

Welcome to his realm – you have reached what just might be the best of all possible worlds.

“When you grow up, all you want to do is what you love to do,” says the soft-spoken Savoy. “The first time I started a demo studio in NYC, it was all tape machines – now it’s much more doable to make a great-sounding album. The technology now gives me more time to work on the things that I find to be more important.”

A Room In Tune

Those “things” are songs, and Savoy’s SoHo studio is a constantly humming incubator for these 4:04-spans of magic. And why not? Working with A-ha, the guitarist and his bandmates from Norway  have seen first-hand the power of what well-crafted songs can do: To date, the group has sold over 36 million albums and 15 million singles worldwide, played for crowds as large as 198,000, and released nine records in their lengthy lifespan – from 1982 until their official farewell in 2010.

So closely associated is A-ha with their native Oslo  that the discovery of Savoy living happily in New York City can be momentarily disorienting. But actually, this oasis in downtown Manhattan has been a natural fit for him since soon after the release of A-ha’s 1985 debut album, Hunting High and Low .

“In those days, we were traveling so much that I couldn’t say I lived anywhere!” Savoy recalls. “But the first time I came to NYC to promote, I fell in love with SoHo. I thought, ‘This is the place.’”

Almost three decades later SoHo remains an ideal creative center as he writes new material for his own band Savoy  — which features his wife Lauren on vocals, his collaborations with other songwriters, and film music work. Savoy’s nonstop dedication to his craft is enabled by engineer Eliot Leigh  and an optimal mix of guitars, synths, analog hardware and digital tools all living together comfortably in one room growing less crowded over time, as he becomes more selective about his tools.

“10 years ago I had a Trident  desk, every synth in the book, and gear up to the ceilings,” Savoy explains of his less-is-more evolution. “Now it’s more computer-based, and I’m just trying to keep the stuff that we really love, and get breathing space.

“It works a lot better. I like to experiment, but if you have too many things, you don’t get around to it. Synths with 15,000 presets becomes like Lord of the Rings  – it’s endless.”

A Creative Workflow

In today’s single-happy society, Savoy finds himself liberated from an album-oriented mindset. As a result, the studio is set up so that Leigh can quickly capture Savoy’s ideas after they surface from his acoustic guitar and piano, then pursue the musical ideas further with the array of tools at their disposal. Leigh records into Logic  through the converters of an iZ RADAR  system, committing to a sound as much as possible on the initial pass.

“My philosophy when we’re recording is to try and get the best sound in the moment – I’m big into processing on the way in, and not as much later on,” Leigh explains. “There’s not a standard setup for anything, however. We’ll often record through whatever happens to be our favorite gear at the moment.”

Available choices for Savoy and Leigh include a blue-stripe Urei 1176 , LA-2A , Gates Sta-Level limiter/compressor  (with “a secret tube upgrade”), EMI limiter sourced directly from Abbey Road , Neve compressor from the dearly departed Bearsville , Anamod ATS-1 Analog Tape Simulator , and aBel Electronics stereo flanger . Classic reverb choices, like a Great British Spring , EMT , Echoplex , or AKG BX-10  and BX-20 , abound — and with good reason.

“Sometimes you can really get a whole vibe on the track from a reverb,” notes Savoy. “It can be very important. Most of the stuff I write needs a certain atmosphere to work at all, so I’m very sensitive to achieving that for an instrument or vocal — I have to have that thing that gives me shivers. If I don’t feel it, we’ll work on something else. Obviously the performance is the most important thing, but you can help it along.”

Monitoring via Yamaha NS-10’s  and Klein & Hummel O300  active studio monitors, Savoy and Leigh will do a rough mix of the songs in Logic, working mostly in the box with UAD plugins  save for the multiple analog reverbs at their disposal. “Our mixing approach totally depends on what the song requires,” Leigh says. “Some of the songs are very electronic, while others are more classic songwriter-type records. In those (latter) instances, we’re trying to catch an older vibe, so we use the older gear.”

Happy birthday Paul!!!

All the really best for you!!! You are a GREAT GUY!!! (and musician too).
