The future of change

Hjorten — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:28:08 +0000

As of today, my last three EP’s on Witte Dood have been released. And yesterday I found out that I’ll be playing a gig in the end of September, I’ve already started planning for it, and I think it’ll be great. Decided that I’m gonna do a sort of “megamix”, meaning a bunch of my own tracks which I will somehow edit and tweak while they’re being played.

In label-related news; deersound now has a sub-label called Underljud. The new addition will focus on the stuff that is too weird and/or random for deersound, but also handle the latters digital releases. The sub-label won’t just release mp3′s, though. It’ll be releases on any media (mainly CDR’s obviously) I see fit.

First out on Underljud will be an EP of amens. More info to come in a week or two.

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.

New deersound website

Hjorten — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:18:43 +0000

As of today the brand new deersound webiste is online. A couple of days ago the coding nerve started itching so I sat down and made a simple sketch of how it would look. And I actually made it look exactly how I wanted, though it looks a bit dodgy in Internet Explorer 7.

Not to mention that the site looks much better, it also has a store which runs through PayPal so it’ll be much easier for people to order stuff. I scrapped the review and trivia pages that the old site had, it didn’t really feel like label stuff, and all that is available on my personal website anyway. And of course, the new logo is now visible for all to see.

While I was coding the site I queued up some old music I hadn’t listened to in a long while, they were: All Rammstein albums (roughly 7,5 hours), Apocalyptica (Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, Inquisition Symphony and Reflections) and Slipknot (Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., Slipknot, Iowa, All Hope Is Gone). And it felt like the perfect music to make the website to, and that was what I listened to many years ago when I was making websites more often.

As websites goes, I don’t really have any more I need to do. Except for a long and big project that will take place during 2010.

Tuesday troubles

Hjorten — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:02:39 +0000

No, not really. Yesterday I started on the track for September, got some interesting sounds so far – we’ll see how it ends up. Should get started on the deersound website and prepare to move the content from The sounds of Hjorten to The works of Johan Hjort.

Also, if you’re interested, I started twittering today, haven’t really decided how active I’ll be there, but expect some posts each day to begin with, not “I just ate lunch” and pointless posts like that.

Portfolio

Finally!

I’ve just made my portfolio website public. Sat till five this morning writing on it. The biography alone took about an hour and a half.

Decisions

Hjorten — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:41:54 +0000

The Year of the Deer track for July was almost done when I took a 3 kilometer long walk in the summer heat, during the walk I realized that I’d rather see the track on a release of its own. So I started working on another track for July, which so far is going well. The original July track is now a little longer and will probably end up being even longer.

I’ve taken a break in fixing my portfolio site but there’s not much left to do. I’m also working on a song which will probably be released on a Dutch label.

Portfolio, a drag.

Hjorten — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:20:46 +0000

For quite some time I’ve been meaning to remake my personal portfolio site and last night I sat down with some good music and got started. So far I’ve only completed writing stuff about the full length albums, but I intend to complete the EP’s before I go to bed.

Once the portfolio is all done, I have to remake the deersound website.
