Wow! Thanks a lot, imagine if 1000 guys would do that, that'd keep me going for sure. I'm raising my glass of the last Laphroig drops and saying Cheers! From Stockholm!

You're welcome.

Ice Lander is great, by the way.

Oh, those memories. I made it at my ex girlfriend's summer house, but late in the winter, out on the countryside. Her father was re-decorating and building a new room. The room was just built with chipboard walls and a heater machine (like the ones one can use in cars, a fan pumping out heat basically) stood there doing its job. Sawdust on the floor and a big temporary table covered with more particle boards. I placed my iBook on it and connected my DT770 headphones and made the track with an inhouse beta version of Reason 2 I had from being a Propellerhead employee. I sampled my own voice and entered all the instruments with the computer mouse & keyboard. A cozy creative night.

The Endlessness record is made in the way that I made the first song, exported all tracks and sent them to Marcus, he made song 2 from elements of the first one added with new elements; he exported that and I made track 3 from that & new things, and so on.

Marcus Fjellström is on Lampse records, he's making very complex acoustic-electric music in some kind of mixed feel between Stockhausen, Arvo Pärt and Autechre.

And now, I'm opening the 35 cl Glennfiddich bottle, celebrating that I have two job interviews coming up; the first one being a real dream position as a copywriter. I've been without a job since May. Sux! : )

Good luck with the interviews!

Thanks, a follow up interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Anyway, anyway... I got in contact with a guy looking for a Juno 60, he's remixing the ancient Guru Josh hit. He eventually got a hold of the J60 and recreated the arpeggio pretty nicely. I tried doing it with Thor (R4) but didn't succeed. Anyhow, I'll probably finish that track since it turned out pretty kewl anyway; planned to name it Juru Gosh.

Currently I'm rebuilding my home studio a bit though, and the creativity always gets to suffer in times like these. I plan to add some USB midi to my SY85 which makes a neat controller.
