So the CDR version of YOTD came out today. Limited to 12 copies, with a couple already gone (pre-orders and such). The release itself is packed into 3 cdr’s, and I’ve tweaked the sounds and samples of the tracks just to make it better. Some minor re-arrangements have also been made. Haven’t figured out the [...]
First things first, earlier today I dropped off the YOTD artwork at the printer’s, I’ll be getting it on Friday, so YOTD should be out early next week.
I also went by my favorite tattoo studio with some 20 pictures on a USB memory, and he thought they looked like fun. So in the end of [...]
Walking to, and from, work without music would be hard for me to do. Even walking home from O’s place without music is hard, and that takes about ten minutes. As you might understand, I need music to work in society and among my friends.
Today I removed all previous albums from my mp3 player and [...]
The artwork for the CDR version of YOTD was done on Sunday, so I figured I’d walk to the printer on Monday. I didn’t do that. So I thought I’d do it today, but I didn’t. So I thought I’d do it tomorrow, but I won’t. I could do it on Thursday, but I probably [...]

As previously mentioned I was interviewed by the local newspaper, and I’ve finally gotten around to translate it into English. And I’ve also translated the reivew of Year of the Deer.
Speaking of YOTD, all there’s left before the CDR can be released is the artwork and getting it printed. Not sure when that will be [...]
It’s Monday afternoon, I’m sitting at work as usual. Not doing much at the moment, then my phone rings. The voice on the other end introduces himself as Andreas calling from Upsala Nya Tidning. He goes on to tell me that he wants to interview me in regard of Year of the Deer, I of [...]
It’s finally been released, my longest and most massive release to date; 2009: Year of the Deer.
Clocking in at over two hours and encoded at 320 kbps.
After work today I’ll update johanhjort.se with lots of info about it.
In the meantime, you can download it at Internet Archive. (Mirrors to come)
Three albums, five EP’s, one split, one compilation and two gigs.
All in all, a pretty idle year if you only count the actual releases, but if you count the work I’ve put down, it wasn’t so idle after all.
018: Experimental took a lot of energy to get done, and not just deciding on the tracklist, [...]
Just like last year I brought my recorder along to work. Then I recorded a whole bunch of sounds, though most sounds were recorded on my way back home to the apartment.
More info can be found on the deersound website. I’ll add it on johanhjort.se eventually.
