babylon remix

Babylon Disco is the name of a friend of mines electronic music project. Babylon was also the name of the ancient civilization that is forever associated with opression of Jewish people. And later with the rise of Christian religion and it's different religous offsprings, a truly global symbol of opression in general.

Martin came by Karlstad today, we got together for a friendly chat and a cup of coffé. I got my hands on the raw deal on one of his Babylon Disco track. Now a remix is bound to happen. With the stuff I'm going trough in my everyday life, I seem to have no inperation when it comes to my othervise more techno-related style of music. What will come out of this is still not known.
Stay tuned.

Camera nerdery

On a completely different subject than the usual all together. I've recently recovered my interest in photography. As a somewhat proud owner of a Canon S2 IS Powershot I've been using it to try to become braver in my surrounding. Not everyone likes a camera in their face! Not longer then a month ago I regained it in a serious mishap where I forgot the camera in a café. The police had found it to my relief. In a similar manner my older Canon A75 powershot was found by my step-dad when he cleaned out his- soon to be gone - apartment. My way of forgetting things is not good for me, please spare me the jokes folks! ;)

So now I own two cameras. And I hunt for a digital SLR or serious rangefinder aswell. Leering to the Pentax camp and it's K100D or K10D with it's built in shake reduction (for better handling in low-light photography) and nice prime lenses. Then there´s the Sigma compacts with really nice lenses and the Ricohs and Panasonic's - witch by the way now cooperates with the renowned Leica (!). All this camera-nerdery may be tiring to my friends, and I've come to realise that I like the gadgetry almost as much as the actual photography.
But I'm quite broke, so I dream... I sometimes work as a freelance journalist, maybe that could be my excuse for dreaming. Oh yes, that must be it. =)

insperation

I sort of lost my roadmap for world domination there for a while. Dropped my compass and my ep seems to matter less right now. I've been coping with not having money enough for what I would like to do - plus my private life is not moving forward as I had hoped. My Union goes on strike against the swedish right wing government nov the 15th as well.

This means that it might take a while to regain forte. Lend your ear to a release that I did not make proper in the meantime - focusing on pain . It is a break from the usual style. A hint of ebm perhaps?
