October issue of Wusik Magazine out

I've written quite a few articles in this issue of Wusik Sound Magazine. A publication which exclusively focuses on sound technology, software instruments and effects. I've interviewed Dacian from Dual Shaman and reviewed instruments such as Synapse Audio's synthesizer X-Poly, New Sonic Art's experimental granular offering Granite and quite a few more.

For those who appreciate music technology, WSM has interesting articles and is available from brasilian software publisher not-so-surprisingly titled Wusik.

Musical Bees

Tone Hammer is a company based in Bay Area, California, USA. They specialize in high end virtual instruments and have recently recorded and released a lot of bee sounds, which they make available to musicians and producers. They explain the process in the video and show a gorgeous example of what they do with the sounds, once recorded. A hymn to an insect which is considered an important part of our eco-system.

Here is the song with the bee-samples without the explanation and video. Quite impressive as a musical piece in its own right.

Secret Games

I am happy to announce that my song Klarälven is featured on the album Secret Games, which was released today by net-label Kahvi Collective. The album contains over one and half an hour of music and is available for free. There is a lot of quality songs here, from artists such as Bad Loop, Planet Boelex and Lackluster.

Moss on a Tree

For this photo I used a quite modest Sony compact camera, while standing on a ladder next to one of the trees in my family's home in Gaperud. The colors of autumn becomes more and more apparent as each day goes by.
