Here's my drum cover of "The Perfect Element" by Pain of Salvation!

For Sandro, who decided to enter the room in the middle of the recording!
Feel free to blame him for all the mistakes 😄

I used the live version for the final part, as I think that's amazing - and also saves some drumming 😁

Hope you like it!

On my way to #Leiden for a #MatthewPassion, then after that straight to #Amersfoort for a soloist job in #Rossini 's #PetiteMesseSolennelle. The conductor couldn't get over how vulgar that latter one is... Which is true. But it's also just really nice music, to sing and to listen to.

My #Brompton is decked out for the journey—food and clothing and sheet music in the front basket, my suit on the back. The suitcase is a really nifty design by #Lat_56. On some days I can get away with just the suitcase, but not today.

C'mon, now, at least ONE of y'all has something they'd like to get a few new ears on for #BandcampFriday? I need at least one first-time contributor to finish tomorrow's Other People's Music... so send me a track or album you are wanting to promo!

No cost or obligation to you!

Here's a post with more details on how it works:

The nyckelharpa is a folk instrument from Sweden 🇸🇪 with a long standing tradition there. "Nyckelharpa" is a Swedish word, "nyckel" meaning "key" and "harpa" being a general term for a stringed instrument. Its key features (hah, see what I did there?) are the sympathetic strings and a keybox full of wooden keys. Some translate it into English to "keyed fiddle" 🗝️ 🎻 "viola de teclas" in Spanish or "viola d'amore a chiavi" in Italian - although it is not a fiddle or viola ;)

How it works: I produce the sound with a bow on the strings, like on any other bowed instrument, but instead of touching the strings with the fingers of my left hand and pushing them down on a fretboard or fingerboard to play a melody, I press a key. The key moves a little wooden tangent to the string and tada, the note changes 🎉 The magical sound of the nyckelharpa is created from its sympathetic strings (usually 12) which are enhancing every note I play on the four melody strings.

If you want to hear some nyckelharpa music, you're welcome on my duos bandcamp aklejafolk.bandcamp.com or search for "Akleja" wherever you like to stream music. More names you can look for there are Josefina Paulson, Hazelius Hedin, Emilia Amper, Väsen, Daniel Pettersson / Sotali, Erik Rydvall - there are so many FANTASTIC players out there! 😭

The instrument pictured here was made by Mats Wester.

Here it is, the first of 3 visualizers from my EP - this is from the titular track, Lithopedion.

Music was self-produced, video was by the very talented Vixxuals (on Instagram) out of Spain.

Next, I’m going to dive deep into my virtual studio (Reason 12) for several hours.

I have multiple instrumental progressive synth tracks that need to get out. Some melodies are still taking shape, some are already done. The feeling, soundscapes, and vision are already clear.

While I’m immersed, could you help me out with information?

I’d like to *release music here on Fedi* for the first time, right from the beginning:

1. What’s the best approach?
2. Where should I create an artist profile to make it enjoyable to follow?
3. Which instance should I choose?
4. What else should I consider?
5. Should I distribute it to commercial platforms as well? Or no? Why?

Any help would be appreciated, I'll get back to you when I'm back from the zone.

Time for an #intro post! If you're a music fan on Mastodon (or elsewhere on the Fedi), please consider giving me a follow. I'm an independent musician who makes weird, psychedelic electronic music with influences from industrial, dub, Musique Concrete, IDM and dance music (esp. techno and house).

Here's my drum cover of Allting Tar Slut / All Things Will Pass, by ‪Opeth‬!

I think this belongs to the less popular songs from their catalogue, but it's an amazing song, an epic ending for an amazing album!

Fairly simple in terms of drumming, fairly tricky to keep the playing consistent through the whole length.
This actually showed me how hard it is to keep the focus for as little as 10 minutes. We're doomed 🙃

Hope you like it!

Dear fellows,

This song marks an end of an era, the end of my collaboration with New Disorder.
It's been 11 years of adventures, experiences, joy, and needless to say, also arguments and fights! 😁
We have been through countless crazy situations, tens of stages, amazing bands and, let's say, interesting characters 😄

I made this decision as I'd like to focus and channel all my resources on some different and more personal stuff, which you will hear hopefully soon!

With this last video, I wish you guys good luck and all the best for the future!

The song is called "Rise Again" and it's been made in collaboration with EDY.

Enjoy, until next time!
