Jane improvises chordal and solo structures on her keyboards and then experiments with various arrangements. "The arranging part is easy," she explains. "I slice up my own work and use various chunks. Then I experiment with lots of samples. Sometimes I’ll play the samples in other octaves to get a different feel. I even create some tunes based on a strange-sounding sample that I then write around." When Al adds his parts, Jane then changes the arrangements again. "I hone in on what I want the tune to sound like. I start quick, then leave a piece alone. When I come back to it, I usually hear something new."

A classically trained musician, Al Pitrelli has made his mark in the rock world performing with heavy metal groups like Megadeth and Savatage. He also worked with Alice Cooper, Asia and Dee Snider’s group Widowmaker. Al says he plays rock for a living but finds the O’2L setting an "outlet to perfect the art form, to use an acoustic guitar or mandolin if a song calls for it." He jokes that you couldn’t ask for two collaborators to come from more opposite worlds. "Jane is a great musician and composer as well as the Mozart of Madison Avenue," he says, then adds with a laugh, "and here she is recording an album with a spawn-of-Satan guitar player."
