my new album 111 is here!!!
Do you remember how did it start? That was quite a while ago…
On 21st of November, 2010 I embarked on a journey to create a new album in 111 days. Little did I know that the path will be so rocky. My closest friends know that I nearly went mental going through the whole experience, however I am all fine now, happier than ever. As 111 was my first crowdfunding experiment, I am definitely going to write more about the process later, I think I have some helpful tips for you, fellow artist ;>
Anyway, the most important thing is that 111 is complete and those who supported the project financially may have already received their rewards – I shipped all of them last week ;> Now, finally, I want to shout “YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!” as loud as possible releasing 111 to everyone in the world! It’s licensed under Creative Commons so feel free to share, that will make me extremely happy. If you want to support my work you can pay whatever you feel the album is worth. Also, I got few USB token packages left for the most eager eleven tigers fans ;>
Grab your copy here, then share share share!
The best part is that the whole 111 video is up on Youtube for everyone to watch, yay!
Thanks everyone who made this possible, love you!!!
folded nights
… first of all, I would like to say thanks to everyone who bought/downloaded/shared my little EP ‘Fold’. I was really delighted seeing it popping up at few blogs here, there and there, thanks guys!
I am trying to play music more impulsively, I love to take an instrument (even if I don’t know how to play it) and explore it’s sonic beauty. sometimes it is very pleasing, sometimes is just plain bullshit. Yet, when I record my explorations I end up with plenty of material to be reused, reorganized and remixed. Last Thursday, after probably 6 hours of improv with Ben Duff, some Mazzy Star like atmosphere blew in and we ended up playing this:
here’s a hi-res mp3 of the recording: http://tinyurl.com/y7agu4j
Talk Talk re-interpreted
I cannot stress enough how much I love music of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. It’s been my greatest inspiration ever. When I discovered them I thought I may just stop producing as Talk Talk had everything I needed. However, I am still here and today I accidentally recorded something I think might show you how I feel about Talk Talk. Or maybe not. I never wanted to touch their music as not to ruin it. Well, this evening, I was improvising and playing around live and somehow ended up bringing in the sounds of Talk Talk. Euphoria for 20 minutes.
Hear the results:
surrounded
remember this?
well, I have just mixed it in 5.1 surround…
My goal was to adapt ‘No Space’ to a different listening environment without drastically changing anything. If you have a surround setup grab this file and immerse yourelf in the soundscape.

aTract, my Reaktor synth is out there somewhere!
Be aware! My lovely kid just went loose. Catch it and take care of it, you may be pleased by the character of aTract… I got him on my latest tracks and I wish him to find some new ones soon. Here is a little photo of aTract:
follow this path to find it…
Keep Me Dreaming
Here is one more free track . I’ve stepped into breakbeat area with this one. Thanks to Nightjar and Mark Splinter for the Horns. Dedicated to my love.
