YOTD CDR and attack of the inspiration

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 [...]

Artwork, tattoo and cable.

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 [...]

Interview, review and album progress

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 [...]

2009: Year of the Deer

It’s finally been released, my longest and most massive release to date; 2009: Year of the Deer.

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)

Summarizing 2009

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, [...]

Release: 26

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.

It’s time to celebrate: I’ve joined a gang

It’s true; I’ve joined a gang and this is our gang sign. A bit complicated to do on your own, though.

Return of Hjort of the week, sort of.

As the title states, Hjort of the week will return. Sort of.
I won’t be doing any more pictures, but I will remake the website and make it public again.
That’s all for now.

Late interview translation

I’ve mentioned before that I was working on an English translation of an interview I did earlier this year, in July to be exact, and now it’s finally done. Thanks to Rec and Katti for proof-reading it.
Nothing else to report, yet.
