Late 2008 I started making a long track composed of raw data extracted from exe and dll files. My intention was to release it on deersound as a 3″ CDR, but never got around to it. In 2009 I made a video for the track, but it is lost somewhere. I also made a second [...]
There’s been a lack of updates because, well, things haven’t really been going on. Staring Into Strange Eyes is done of course, but the artwork isn’t. And I’ve been told the EP’s on Witte Dood should be released by the end of April, so expect an update when that happens.
Last night I finished the last track for Staring Into Strange Eyes, now there’s “only” the artwork and burning process left. But I’m not gonna rush it. And since I’m feeling generous today, here’s the first track off the album. Free to download, forever and ever. Johan Hjort – When I walk through rain 7.28MB [...]
As mentioned before I’ve got three EP’s coming up on Witte Dood and just like before, I’m gonna do a friend version of them. Actually, I’m already done with it, as you can see below. Though, I’ll have to wait until I give it to people since the EP’s haven’t been released yet. But still, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
