Interesting Stuff

I have one subscriber to my Blog by now, so I thought I'd please him and post a picture.


These are two fantastic instruments, namely a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a Moog Voyager synthesizer. Lots of musician use digital substitutes for them, but this is definitely the real deal in style and sound.
Recently I did some mixes for Not Six, which is a cool project from Norway. One of the tracks had two bass parts made with VST plugins. They sounded great on their own and when they were played real loud. In the mix they sounded, well, a bit lame. So I plugged Mr Moog in a millennia preamp, and replaced the digital devils with an analogue angel. Then the mix started to sound heavenly fat and delicious:-)
The band haven't mastered the tracks yet, but I hope they'll share it with us soon enough.

On the move

It's rough in here, welcome to my blog:-) I'll be going from Norway, which is a small country in the north, to South Africa, which is a biggish country in the south next week.
This post, and possibly more to follow, will cover my move.
In this post I'll list the ten things I think I'll miss the most from Norway. The list excludes people, friends and family, because there are too many of them to mention.

1. The music
2. Being in my safe and known environment
3. My studio
4. My bands
5. Having regular work
6. Small Norwegian towns
7. The Nature
8. Changing Seasons
9. Skiing
10. Punctuality

G, this was a pretty hard list to compose, leaving my friends and family out of the picture... We shall see next Friday, when the hash reality of South African living hits me in the face!
