It’s time to reveal a little secret of mine. I’ve been working on this project for the past few months, but I haven’t mentioned it so far. This is the debut single from Blue Coat Venture, Gustav Löfstrand’s (Tiny Union) latest solo effort! I have mixed and mastered the upcoming debut album, featuring twelve songs, which will be released in April on the independent Pomelo Music label. Gustav have put together a four-piece backing band for future live shows, of which I am the guitarist. Our first gig will be sometime in April in support of the album release. Check out the video for “Nothing to Die For”, made by Gustav, his girlfriend Sara (who also sings on the track) and Anton Näslund.
Here’s another song from the live session recorded on the 2nd of May 2014. Shot by Anton Näslund and Sandro Arcos Famme of Stockholm Sessions, sound recording and mix by me.
This week I mastered the upcoming EP from Swedish pop group Nonsens. The EP features three songs and will be released digitally on January 22nd. There will be a release party and gig at Underbara Bar in Stockholm, check out the Facebook event here.
I’ve been working around the clock the last few days, getting everything ready in time for the exhibition opening on Thursday evening. The weekend was spent recording and editing an audio guide for the exhibition, featuring presentations from all of the students at KMH and Beckmans who have contributed music, art and fashion pieces for the exhibition. The audio guide featured a total of 47 tracks in both Swedish and English and was recorded by Anton Näslund, Julia Jonas and me. The exhibition is currently being put together at the Nobel Museum and we spent yesterday trying to get our music to come out of the right speakers at the right time. There’s still some more work to do. The system running the music is very complex, featuring two computers and a server running together, taking input signals from sensors and iPads in the exhibition hall, continuously arranging the music, and playing it back through 16 discrete speakers. The obvious downside to having a complex playback system like this is that it is hard to get up and running and working the way it’s supposed to. The upside is that it allows us to do innovative and creative work.
