again, i had a great time at PUNKTfestival. www.punktfestival.no

found this video on you tube.
it features the track "connecting heaven to earth" by brian eno and me which was released in 2000 on jvc. the record is called "music for onmyio-ji" and this is one of my favourite tracks on this cd. we did this record without a computer being involved once.
i remember the feeling of freedom when we did this record. no screen that kept you distracted from listening, instead: two tascam da88 digital tape recorders for immediate recordings and a bunch of synthesizers and outboard effects. by the end of the week we actually could not believe that there was no computer involved. we did the mixdown on a cd-recorder. this week taught me at least two things: 1. while you listening to a piece of music; don´t look at the computerscreen; it distracts you and keeps away the surprising moment 2. try to use your computer more like a tape recorder; it keeps you focused on the actual performance that you are about to record.

here is a link to a review about our "live remix" of june tabor´s "quercus" project at PUNKT festival 07, published in ALL ABOUT JAZZ.


"Together with Kluge, Schwalm and Aarset delivered what will, no doubt, go down as one of the most successful remixes of Punkt 07."

just a quick note...

hi everybody, this blog is adressed to all musiclabels, composers, producers who do not know what ithinkmusic.com is yet.
as i am very happy with the idea i thought i should let more people know about this.

it is a music store that allows you to create your own store where people can download your music. you can create your own "release" which can be an common 12 track release or just 4 tracks because you decide to only release these four tracks for a price that you decide. and here comes the amazing thing: they only charge you 5% of the income. once you have made a sale you will get a notification via email; and if the client has agreed to leave his contact details, you will be able to collect the contact information of every single client which can be very helpful for the promotion of future releases.
anyways, there is much more to say about it, just check it out: ithinkmusic.com and my shop is musikain.ithinkmusic.com

best wishes from steaming barcelona

peter
