This morning my 3rd old son brought me a CD - saying he really wants it to be played.. NEW ORDER! I'm not worried about his taste in music anymore :)
Kids asleep, my magic red Lava lamp and favourite Virus TI - what more a musician dad can desire! )))
handy warning :) kind of reminiscent of a story from my youth - 2 hours of editing bassdrum, snare, toms and hats - I had neighbours hating me forever :))
So it finally happened - "Standing Eight" is pirated.. Links are all over the web. I guess I've done something right this time - since it took longer for the EP to be pirated. My theory is that CD format attracts attention their quicker vs. digital only release.
i've been cleaning my EP recording notes - found a whole bunch of weird papers with lyrics scribbled on them - i guess the conclusion is you never know when inspiration hits you ))
Have you seen Google front page today? Check it out - for Bob Moog's anniversary Google put a small but PLAYABLE synth on its front page.. Even the buttons work!
cutting track snippets from the upcoming "Standing Eight" EP - for the teaser video.. now this is an instantly rewarding kind of work I like to do! ))

I cannot believe this - Earbits are done. They are closing down their service. They were one of the best (if not THE best) online streaming service for indie musicians and definitely brought a lot of fans for Calfskin..

Take a test - which new wave band are you? Apparently, I'm The Cure! They say, I'm "a dark and troubled soul, but also a major romantic". Quite fitting my music, actually..

So, Erasure is back with a new album - they seem to be quite prolific in the recent years. The teaser does sound good but.... a bit too EDM-cliche? Produced by Richard X.
Blue honey from M&Ms bees? Next in line - red milk and green yoghurt..... Wait, green yoghurt I've seen already.. :-))
"We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried: French beekeepers were shocked to find their bees had produced a supply of thick, blue honey. Turns out the bees had been feeding on the colourful shells of M&Ms - a Mars processing plant sat just 4 km away."

For my Star Wars fans out there - ever wondered how they made all those swooshes, blips and alien sounds? Here's an old but very nice featurette on sound design creativity in Star Wars II.

I've done a lot of sampling for the upcoming record - from sea waves to airports, from escalators to home appliances.. But apparently I forgot FOOD!! Turns out, this nice little synth 'Iris' from iZotope has a collection of nicely sounding 'food' presets.
Such a great idea - must see! Now, if only this could be my screensaver...
If you missed my post on Wednesday then please check this out, it's genuinely extraordinary.

2014 Eurovision song contest is over - I thought this time there were a few really good songs.. However, surely none could compete with the Austrian bearded lady

Nice bit about obsession with vintage analogue gear. However no one wants to consider how costly it is - to maintain some vintage CS-80 or Prophet-5! And there's no comparison in terms of usability with modern soft or even hard synths..

Woke up with Kraftwerk's 'Model' in my head.. I wonder if it means that I'm supposed to record its cover now...

My favourite Röyksopp and Robin announced a mini-album - here's a preview track "Monument".. The track sounds a bit dull.. or am I just not in the right mood right now?..

"Future Islands" - from a youtube comment - "a mix of the energy of Tom Cruise and the moves of Napoleon Dynamite" It's the new era of synthpop/new wave. Absolutely stunning energy - must see!

What if birds could make music? Here's an amazing example - a short musical piece done by converting birds' position on wires.. Love it!
One morning while reading a newspaper, Jarbas saw a photograph of birds on an electric wire. He cut out the photo and was inspired to make a song using the exact location of the birds as musical notes. He was curious to hear what melody the... birds created.

He sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the newspaper. It ended up Winner of the YouTube Play Guggenheim Biennial Festival.

Just have a listen below at how incredible this sounds.

Coldplay's latest single is surprisingly electronic, very atmospheric work, produced by my personal favourite Jon Hopkins. If this is their new direction - I really want to hear more!
