BUENA PARK, CA (January 01, 2002) — As a member of and co-founder of progressive rock legend Yes, Jon Anderson has always worked with the latest technology. Most recently this means using Yamaha's AW4416 digital audio workstation on an as-yet-untitled solo album, his first play-everything, sing- everything project since 1976's Olias of Sunhillow.

Jon Anderson and the AW4416 Digital Audio Workstation "The AW4416 is a lot easier to work with than any other hard-disk recorder I've used," says Anderson. "The Yamaha system puts me exactly where I want to be. It's the perfect addition to what I am doing."

The AW4416 is a powerful, compact system, recording up to 16 tracks of true 24-bit digital audio, and is a true combination of digital products from Yamaha. Features include automation / snapshot capability, full 32-bit DSP, 44 fully-automated inputs, 17 motorized faders, four fader and mute groups, eight bus and eight aux sends plus stereo, stereo cue busses, 4-band full parametric EQ, direct out assignment, and a CD-RW drive.

In addition to numerous albums released with Yes, most recently 2001's Magnification, Anderson has worked with Vangelis, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, and Kitaro.
