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 [...]
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 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.
Two days ago I bought a new mobile/cell phone since my old one was close to giving up, though it had served me well since I bought it back in 2004 or 2005.
With the new mobile/cell phone in hand I realized that the alarm was far from good. I didn’t trust it to wake me [...]
Here we go, the final(?) time I write a post about a single Year of the Deer track. December is here and so is the November track.
As both inspiration and motivation has been a bit on the low side this track was pretty much rushed in a couple of hours, not my best track by [...]

After posting about there only being one copy left of Not What I Thought on a forum on Discogs, I got a PM from a fellow Swede who said “What the hell, I’ll buy it”, later he sent another PM saying he also wanted a copy of Not That Human (of which I now only [...]
