Song of Frustration

Since I didn't get a summer job this year, I've had a great deal of extra time these last weeks. A few of those hours were spent recording an old song of mine (written in 2006, give or take) in GarageBand. It is the first time in the studio this year, and the first new project since February 2008. It feels good to be back! Here it is:


If you find it as awesome as I do, you even download it and put it in your iPod for motivation during puffing uphill runs in Stoltzekleiven. (When you reach the top, you send your time, for example 14.34, as a text message to 1933 with codeword STOLTZ . And when you go home, you stare with reverence at your personal Stoltzen statistics page as your times make a graph less predictable than Dow Jones)

    Hei, morsomt opptak. Hvordan har du spilt inn trommene?

    Trommene på denne er faktisk 100% programmert, siden jeg ikke hadde utstyr for å koble det elektriske settet mitt inn i maskinen.

    Bruker du eget program/plugin for å programmere trommer, eller sitter du med tangenter/taster og "spiller dem inn" i garageband? (som du skjønner er jeg interessert i å lære litt om dette ...)

    Nei, jeg har jobbet med "tegneverktøyet" i midi-behandleren og justert anslag, volum, pitch og varighet for hvert enkelt slag (jeg brukte altså ikke tastaturpianoet). Det er ikke fullt like mye arbeid som det høres ut som når man har hjelpemidler som copy/paste til rådighet, men det er definitivt den kjedeligste jobben med sangen.
