This is how I sound like

There haven’t been much music here since the blog started. I won’t nag about the reasons for that again, but I think it’s time to let people get a sample of how my music sounds like, even if it’s not a new one. I’m proud to present an old recording of the song ’Hello’ from 2006!

 Listen to ’Hello’ here and then tell me what you think!

Erase or rewind?

Erase AND rewind is a nice song by the Cardigans, but this post is not about that. I’m in the phase where I have recorded guitar, bass, drums and vocals for the base of the song (Destiny Dies). The question that haunts me is when I should settle with the quality and publish it. Should I try a little harder and erase or settle with what I have managed to do and rewind? A difficult question. The greatest problem is vocals. I have a tendency to make my songs kind of difficult to sing because they have kind of a broad spectrum of notes – both high and low. I am not a trained singer and therefore find it hard to sing my own songs at times (smart…) and there’s alot of songs that have been recorded but not published because of the lack of satisfaction with that part. However, destiny is kind at times and gives people like me the ability or luck to make one or two good takes every now and then, so for now I’m waiting for that. And then you will be able to listen to Destiny Dies!

The Raven Nation site is upon us!

Last night the Raven Nation site finally went online. At the moment it is mostly eye candy but with the recordings going on there will soon be some ear candy too. The site will be used as a portal to the other Raven Nation related sites until the songs and videos begin to drop in. If you can’t see it, you need to download flash player. It may not seem as a big step to you, but for the project it’s a huge leap!

New logo

As you may have seen the logo has now been changed to a less cartoony one. The site is also ready but I have to take a second look at it before I can be absolutely sure about it. What do YOU think about the new logo?

Destiny Dies early recordings

I have recorded a draft for Destiny Dies now. I have tried it out on a couple of people and will do some more of that in the forthcoming days, then it is time to record the ‘final’ version. Some lyric changes has to be made I belive, but the character of the lyrics is still the same.

Site on it’s way

This night I’ve been working on a Raven Nation site. I’ve made a couple of versions before this one, but this time I’m going for a simple layout with only the most necessary stuff on it. The Raven Nation logo is also on it’s way to change. Perhaps you’ll be able to see the result soon!
