They say silence is golden; John Cage claimed that silence doesn’t exist; Vader sang “the absence of noise does not mean silence”. Either way; I’ve been rather silent with regards to my music, even though plans have come and gone. Something went missing, something I can’t put my finger on. I have plenty of time […]
It’s been a while since I posted something here, and even longer since I made any music. I’ve been thinking about my lack of music making quite a lot in the past few weeks, and I think I’ve realized what’s wrong… I’m unable to make the music I want to make because I don’t know […]
You know that thin line between perfectly buzzed and drunk? The line that is rare and rather difficult to balance on? Thanks to cheap whiskey and ginger ale I managed to stand right on it while I was playing at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress as Reversed Obesity in 2009. Thanks to the alcohol I wasn’t […]
Some time in 2007 I as usual went into a local music store and headed straight for their “demo shelf”. It was more or less a daily routine for me, always hoping to find a new demo by a local group/artist. And that very day I found something special, namely Geld‘s first and only demo; […]
You’re your own worst critic, or you should be, and back in 2006 when I first started out making horrible (in a bad way) noise, I wasn’t. I uploaded everything I did, and rarely looked back at what I did. In way it was a good thing, but generally I’d say that it was a […]
During a recent talk with my friend David, also known as IOK-1, he mentioned that he has around 150 plays a week on his SoundCloud. I don’t know how many I have, but it’s far from that much. Then again, I don’t really post much stuff other than experiments and excerpts. Partly it’s because I […]
December 29, 2010 – 22:20
The year is about to end so why not do like last year; summarize what has happened. One album, six EP’s, one split, one compilation, one gig and of course a brand new label. A lot less than last year, but still a productive year. It all started in January with the digital release of […]
I know, I know. I haven’t updated this for over a month. There’s really no good reason, except that I’ve been lazy. But isn’t that a good enough reason? No? Fine. In the middle of September I played at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress; it went very well. Except for an odd sound that I assume […]
As I’ve previously mentioned, Håkan Lidbo was commissioned to create a vuvuzela track by Swedish Radio. And I thought it would sound like generic electronica, but it actually doesn’t. That said, I personally don’t think the track itself is exciting. It’s rather bland and it could’ve been any track if it weren’t for the new-found […]
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 […]
