In Studio: Steven Wilson

Soundcheck | Dec 22, 2011

The last time Steven Wilson of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree visited Soundcheck, he didn’t play live in the studio. Instead, he let our listeners download a song he’d recorded just for them in his home studio. It became one of the most popular things we’ve ever offered on the Soundcheck page. Today, this guitar wiz tries his hand at solo piano. And, he shares a track from his solo album “Grace for Drowning." (Download it here.)

This is a repeat edition of Soundcheck.
