In interviews about the making of the album Flaming Lips album The Terror, Wayne Coyne, Steven Drodz and producer Dave Fridmann were each asked about the ESP Wasp.
Interviewer: Can we also detect the distinctive tone of a beautiful old EDP Wasp analogue synth in places?
Wayne Coyne: "We're so much the slaves to sound that we're almost always looking for a new sound to use. We were at Sean Lennon's studio a little while back and we saw the Wasp, played it, loved it and, at the end of the session, Sean gave it to us. When we took it back to Dave's studio it was almost all we played for a while. That's the truth about how music is, really."
Interviewer: ...and not forgetting Sean Lennon's Wasp?
Steven Drodz: "[laughs] I think he just saw how into it we were and gave it to us and we've ended up using that on most of the album.
Interviewer: Wayne told us of his love for the old EDP Wasp synth. Was there a conscious decision to go more analogue on the new album?
Dave Fridmann: "I wouldn't say it was a conscious decision but what was a conscious decision was to make things more variable and random and seize the moment.
"There's a couple of tracks on the album where the click-track is a noise the Wasp was making when it was broken and we just kept it in the song. So, there's a sort of organic element to most of what happened on the record where it's continuously variable and interesting moment to moment."
