Many thanks to Dave for creating this awesome diagram, which I shamelessly ripped and used to my own advantage.

Scochy update

teknopipo — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 17:50:24 +0000

Yesterday Steve, Cissi and I had our first rehearsal. We have been doing some stuff in the studio and recorded a couple of things, but what we really want to do is go out and play gigs. We even entered a contest to become Sweden’s most promising new act. Listen to a recording we did and vote for us here!

In addition, I’m working on a new Scochy dance track. We’ve done a few dance recordings in the past, Don’t Call Me Baby and All I wanna Do, but this will be the first track that I wrote completely from scratch, including lyrics! Check out the preliminary soundcloud upload and let me know what you think! It’s still lacking a funky Steve bassline and a sexy Cissi voice, we’ll soon fix that and then I’ll upload a new version. The song is about a serial killer:

New guitar!

Bought this nice western guitar yesterday. Here’s me playing a lousy 12 bar blues on it

Stampen

I just rearranged my 19″ rack. I took out the crackling Mackie, obsolete compressor and V-Amp, and rerouted some equipment so my setup is aimed more at actually making music instead of at trying to figure out nice audio routing. Suddenly my filterbank, guitar pedals, kaossilator and machinedrum came alive and produced this dark and sinister track called Bury me in a nameless grave:

Alesis Multimix 8 Line

teknopipo — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 08:54:40 +0000

The schematic of the Alesis Multimix 8 Line is printed on top of its cover and not in the manual, which is kind of annoying if you’ve got it racked up. So I took a picture of it and uploaded it here for reference since I couldn’t find it anywhere else either. Click on the pic below for a large photo. I hope it’s useful to some people, it is to me at least.

The reason I needed the schematic is that I’m trying to figure out why my machine sometimes switches to mono output or left or right only signals. The Alesis website says: When a mono signal is present on any input or stereo send, the Left signal is automatically summed to mono for mono or stereo compatibility. I don’t understand the “or stereo send” part here, I suspect they mean “or stereo return”. And I seriously don’t have any mono signals connected, it’s just stereo synths all the way, and my cables seem to be fine as well…

If you’re familiar with this problem, please let me know!

Mr. Sandman

Me and Nellie finally recorded our beloved song Mr. Sandman last weekend, live in Stockholm! On the background you can hear the wonderful inflyttningsfest that’s going on at the same time

Play that funky music

teknopipo — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:52:05 +0000

Bought new batteries for my kaoss pad, and finally expanded my MIDI I/O with a MOTU MIDI Express 128.

Everything is finally racked and hooked up so I spent the larger part of the weekend making music. I’ve uploaded the new two tracks below to Soundcloud.

The first track is my attempt to use my voice with the Logic vocoders. The second track is a live recording by me and Steve! I’m behind the sequencer and Steve is going berserk on the Kaoss pad We’re also using the MAM filterbank, which is nice cause I haven’t been using that a lot lately.

Macs for sale

teknopipo — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:17:29 +0000

I’m selling some of my older Apple machines since I’m not using them anymore. Can be seen working and picked up at my home in Stockholm. These machines are ideal for you if you’re considering the move to Apple, but don’t want to spend the full buck on a brand new one just yet. They’re also perfect to get started with some music production. Prices do not include shipping.

Recordings with Caroline

teknopipo — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 18:33:22 +0000

Recorded and mixed two awesome songs today, with my new SE Reflection Filter All music, lyrics and vocals were written by Caroline Werner. I did the sequencing, the production, and a mixdown.

The first song is called Puppy Poster:

The second one is called Like a Summer Day:
