December is not far away


Last year we released our single «December» on this blog on December 1. That was a lot of fun. So, of course we will be doing it this year as well! And not the same song, but a brand new one. And December is not far away. Let`s hope December 2 will be better than Nightmare on Elm Street 2, Karate Kid 2, Hot Shots 2 and Rambo 2.

The picture above gives you a little clue about the name of the new song.

Childrens radio

A while ago Herr Nilsson recorded some pieces of music for a childrens radio show called Krønsj. It was a short radio-series about young teenagers with strange problems. The music was recorded in HPs studio at Møhlenpris and it turned out to sound like this:


You can read about it and listen to the episodes here (in norwegian)

Five Years

Five Years by David Bowie is a very good song, I think. Not the greatest, but certainly one of my favourites. I`m especially fond of the line «I think I saw you at the ice cream parlor, drinking milk-shakes cold and long. Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don`t think you knew you were in this song». This is such a good line in a song about the acopalypse! I think he had a dream about the human race having five years left to live, and this is the point where he steps out of the story in a sort of meta-poetry.


I also like it when he sings: All the fat-skinny people, all the tall-short people, all the somebody-people, all the nobody-people. I always thought he sang «tortured people» but now I get it. Impressive!


The other thing I like about it, is the sound of the drums. Dry, tiny drums that just go on through the song in the same pattern. Which brings me to the reason I´m writing this. The drum intro I must say, is very sample-friendly, and I must admit I`ve stolen it in almost every home-demo I`ve made for the last three years. And to my ears, it works! So if you want some fitting drums to your lo-fi-record, I recommend you try them to!

The great thing about early David Bowie is that it sounds like a small band in a small room playing very big tunes. Nowadays it`s usually the opposite.


Where is David Bowie these days, by the way? He hasn`t released anything since 2003, and hasn`t played live since 2006, when someone threw a lollipop at him in Oslo. Some think he has retired. I hope not! He`s my hero and guiding star!

How are you!



Thank you for visiting or even following this blog! Nothing much has happened here lately, and even less has been recorded in my home-studio, which is wherever i put my laptop. This is the only new song I`ve made a finished demo of after the latest album was finished. Soon I`m having a «pappaperm», which could mean more time for such things. Or maybe not!
