 have been trying for the last couple of weeks to figure out whether to release a new physical album or simply try and only make it available as download. Its not finished yet mind you, but I have been working on some tracks for some time now, and they are definitely going to see the sunlight in a not too distant future.Whether it´ll be from inside a cd-case or presented as zeros and ones, I dont know yet ( yes okay I know cd is also zero and ones).

From the artists point of view its definitely a nice thing to finish 10 songs and present them as a whole, kind of a description of where you are now. Its a little package that you can fit under the tree, hold in your hand and you can say: “hey, that was that. Lets take a break and make another one” – go on a live tour if you are that kind of a band.

On the other hand its a great feeling to be able to make a track, finish it, and off it goes. This is where I am now and this is the latest track. I guess thats kind of a fun thing to do. It doesnt necessaryly mean that things are getting rushed, but you dont have that couple of months to go and listen to the tracks together and in different order. Thats the downside.

I guess its just tradition really. LPs made it possibly to collect 40 minutes of music in one product so the artists just worked in that direction. Noone said it had to be that way. Bach just composed some of his music so it fitted into the mass where he was employed at some point. Mozart wrote music for classical instruments and 500 years from now we can compose without lifting a hand, just transmitting the brainwaves from a special music center in the brain, through a computer/weird new fancy device, and directly into other peoples brains.

Ears will no longer be necessary to be able to hear music. Music is a condition in the brain and all medias such as CDs, LPs, MP3s and so on, is just there to make the connection between the minds. Hell, maybe not even a computer is necessary – just a cable from one brain and into the other.

No medias, no merchants, no…… no money? Hmm… got to work a little on the businessplan. I´ll be back.

My album is out soon – on brain waves. Catch them if you can! Chill out, chillout and downbeat waves

SO a brandnew day emerges here i Copenhagen. Lots of sunshine today and nice temperatures says the weatherman. I am sitting at home doing office stuff before heading down to the studio, which fortunately is right around the corner from where I live now. Perfect – I think. Its not so much “I am going to the office see you later honey” as “I am going down in my backyard where I have a little setup with no water but lots of noise from cars and contracters working on the soon-to-be mall next door. Amazing – another mall. Just what the doctor ordered for our little rock. Lets spend some more money or stuff we dont need – or our teenagers dont need – and try to run down this planet a little sooner by boosting production of goods all over the world. Fantastic! Seems almost like a plan.The mad economic scientists are gathered for their monthly meeting in the “how-soon-can-we-run-down-this-planet” club. And-sell-people-our-new-idea: “Imigration to the moon?” This old rock is not working anymore. Lets find a new place to f… up. Great for economy and poor people in China and India who wants so much to join our club of “happy people with 2,5 kids, a house in the suburbs and a car”. Not so good for our planet, but hey!: I didnt choose this planet – it chose me. Its obviously not working for so many more years – with humans on it anyway – so lets make the most of it.

I will definitely work hard on the solutions of these problems today (not the contracters noise in my studio mind you), by moving small chunks of what looks like little black fish back and forth on a computerscreen and mixing them in the right level and maybe make some noise and record in a microphone. Thats my contribution to this universe today – oh and yelling at noisy contracters.

I just moved my studio from one part of town to another. From Nørrebro to Vesterbro. Found a nice little house to put all my stuff into and start working in. Amazing and a little scary also, to start out a totally new place. Hopefully some good vibes will hit me through those big windows in the ceiling – I didnt have those before. Its like an open connection to that big blue thing up there. Looking forward to it. As a start the karma here is more of a “this is a very old and abandoned house” kind of thing. No water yet, it´ll come, but nice rooms and a smell of…. I dont know what that is actually – just old stuff. Water is right now coming from outside the building, so when my neighbeur parks his car in the wrong spot I cant have my coffee. Damn! But I can still work without coffee if I just have….. I dont know what it is I need actually. Maybe just some life around me. Sometime its a walk you need, sometimes a nap, sometimes a kiss or a hotdog or some crazy bugger smashing in to your car on the freeway or those trees swaying in the air or that normally very busy street suddenly turning empty or the funny light on that building or that smell in your friends studio.

I actually know this guy who really has a thing for smells. Before a session – or when he really needs that special inspiration – he will aopen a package of incense or some other funny stuff that smells. Sounds crazy, but it works for him I guess.

Ok thats it for now. I think, I am gonna the streets of Copenhagen now and get something to eat. Beautiful light, beautiful city this time of year actually.

Dont forget to listen to some chill out and downbeat. Just listened to Herbie Hancock “Treasure Chest” – great stuff. Not too funky – which he gets a lot in my opinion.
