2:26 pm - drums
|
It's been more than 10 years since the last time I played the drums.
Actually, it's... 12 years.
Somehow, lately, I was missing it. So I just bought myself an used Roland SPD-11.
Lots of ideas are flooding my mind right now... thinking about Fxpansion BFD and their electronic kits... yummmmm.
I wonder how will Blank sound with a touch of human drumming... ?
current mood:  accomplished

2:09 pm - my Digidesign Protools 8 first review
|
In a pathetic attempt to keep this journal updated more frequently, I decided to write down my first impressions of Digidesign latest upgrade of their Protools DAW. I refer to the M-Powered version, which is, of course, the software I use to write and produce tracks for Blank.
( I guess this deserves an lj-cut... )
current mood:  geeky

11:12 am - IKEA snakebite
|
Dunno if anyone's tried this already, but I love this:
What you need:
 |
 |
 |
| pear cider |
lager |
lingonberry syrup |
You can find pear cider and lingonberry syrup at any IKEA swedish food market.
In a regular pint, pour and mix gently:
1/3 kopparberg pear cider
2/3 lager (your choice: my personal fave is kronenbourg 1664)
just a little lingonberry syrup, just to colour the whole thing read
Beware: pour and mix gently, 'cos it reacts. ;)
Also: too much lingonberry syrup can make the stuff too sweet to be drunk, 'cos pear cider is *very* sweet already. Start with just a few drops and taste it before adding more.
Drink while it's fresh... It's lovely.
Of course the purists may want to stick to the original snakebite, but this one is good and doesn't cause the same awful hungover. ;)
current mood:  sleepy
current music: ryuichi sakamoto

6:37 pm - Blank "IMPACT ZONE" release date announced: March 4th
|
from Artoffact Records...
Blank is back! God, we cannot stop listening to Impact Zone! They have really outdone themselves on this release! Kudos to Blank!
1. Nuclear
2. Persistence
3. Lead Me
4. Hellbound
5. Beneath
6. Sick And Dead
7. Surviving
8. Counterfeit
9. Unspoken
10. Puressence
You can pre-order "Impact Zone" on Artoffact Website.
You are now in the Impact Zone. Move.
The Italian EBM duo Blank is back, and this new stuff is killer. So killer, in fact, that we are giving away Sick And Dead, one of the many adrenaline pumping songs you will find on Impact Zone, their second album. This album is one of those giant shots in the air, and the near four-year wait between this and their last album has been definitely made worthwhile. The immense intensity of Impact Zone speaks for itself. Tracks like Persistence with its crazy synthy hook, Counterfeit with its tight melodies and infectious rhythm, or Puressence with new and exciting vocal styles — every song is priceless.
What has Blank been doing since 2004? Perfecting their craft. For sure. A few shows were played, sure they remixed Unter Null, DavaNtage, XP8, Neikka RPM, and others. They appeared on several compilations worldwide and garnered excellent reviews, a large fan-base, and solid club-play. Mostly, perfecting their craft. It’s not good enough that you bust your body on the dancefloor or sweat till you’ve soaked your shirt through. It’s just not good enough.
MORE BODY, MORE SWEAT. It is after all the Impact Zone.
This outrageously good album is available on Artoffact Records on March 4th, 2008.
Download “Sick And Dead” for free right here.
current mood:  rejuvenated
