It's not the notes, it's the silence between them...2010-09-07T18:03:49ZPalledwineziphy@hotmail.comCopyright 2010, PalleSPHPBLOGGoing on tour with The MisfitsI've known it for a while, but it's actually daunted on me a few days ago - I'm actually going (with my band SIR REG) on tour with The Misfits. 18 days in a nightliner across Europe. 13 shows. Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway and Finland. We're gonna die from exhaustion, but it's gonna be fun...I think..I hope.
Three weeks from now it all starts. Is it too late to get in shape? :)
The idea of not seeing my six month old girl and my gf for three weeks is a bit wrecking. I'm currently stressing with merch design, album cover design/changes, mixing of backingtracks, tour gear (optimizing my pedalboard as I type this).

I'm not joking. One of the hottest days since 1994 in Sweden...and we decided to shoot a music video today (had planned it for weeks though).
Nightmare, sweat-wise. But sweat brings a visual look that suits the music (also, I wore a suit..kinda...tie, shirt, vest and suspenders/braces. And jeans! I will never wear jeans on stage again).
Here is a short snippet that Erik, the drummer, filmed at the end of the day. You can see (if you look hard) that everyone has sweat pearls in their face.

I also got a really weird pain/stiffness in my neck today. Horrible. I can't figure out what could have caused it.

75 SEK. Pretty cheap for a 1970-something tapedeck. I put on a grounded jack, cleaned it up and used isopropanol on the glass-covered head (That's what the G in GXC-36D stands for).

The weather here have been great for a few weeks, but a few days ago there were finally some rain (and thunders). I think the nature and every other living being needed it. I took a picture of it at 2am from the window in the studio room:
The new songs with Dwine sounds great. My brother knows how to write good choonz.
Take care!

I also have some good news about my ambient music. A netlabel called PublicSpacesLab in Spain liked what they heard and want to "sign" me to their label. Yeeee! First off is a track on their compilation-album (with many more talented people on it). I edited a video together (aswell) for that track. Check it!
Now I gotta go get a job and/or find out how I will pay the bills. Cheers!]]>http://www.dwine.se/evelon/blog/index.php?entry=entry090604-1124092009-06-04T00:00:00Z2009-06-04T00:00:00ZPreparing.. Also, I need a job!

Rehearsing is coming along great with Dwine. We are putting together the backingtracks atm. Got an outdoor gig 3 weeks from now at the Köpingsfesten 29th of may @ 11pm. Stoked.
I've also taken some product-photos for my brother and his new snare.
Now I'm gonna get back to mixing the backingtracks.

A bit sad. But I guess that's what holidays are about - breaking patterns. I've seriously thought about moving to a new place and change my diet to raw food and living food (like I did for a period in 2005..and I felt great). I'm a bit stuck in the same routines now. Doesn't feel too good. A part of me is desperate for a change. Aparently I'm not alone being in this situation.
My brother sent off his snare and it was displayed in the booth at Frankfurt Musikmesse just recently. It looks and sounds great. If I hadn't been in italy during this time I would have loved to be there demoing it.
Here's a picture I took in Venice:

Imogen Heap, one of my great inspirations (and secret crushes), put up vocaltracks for the song "the song that never was", which is a song that never was a track for a childrensmovie. Exciting. I have the chords worked out and will add layers upon layers of sounds I guess. Also, it's for an awesome cause - The tracks were uploaded to Twestival , a twitter festival spreading the word of Charity:Water, which is an organization helping people in the 3rd world by supplying/building water pumps with filters. We in the west (north?) take clean water for granted..and we don't have to walk 3 hours to get it.
Finally a good reason for me to get a paypal account.

I would get stoked if I got to work with this. We'll see what happens. ]]>http://www.dwine.se/evelon/blog/index.php?entry=entry090212-1211502009-02-12T00:00:00Z2009-02-12T00:00:00ZA weekend with choral sounds. On the night to sunday it snowed so much. Everything was covered in white and at 10am when the choir were warming up we had a power-out. It only lasted an hour but I was afraid it would last all day. Everything went dead, except the choir. They continued to warm up..and eventually the power came back on.
Must have been some tree falling over a wire, due to the heavy snow.
While driving to the studio on Sunday morning. Lots of snow.
Looking out the window after a whole day of working. Finally the sun came through. Perfect timing.]]>http://www.dwine.se/evelon/blog/index.php?entry=entry090209-1743152009-02-09T00:00:00Z2009-02-09T00:00:00ZSpunky Snarespunkydrums.com). This time it was a green acrylic snare. Several flash shots (HDR). Here is an example:
Don't you just want to play it...or maybe just eat it?]]>http://www.dwine.se/evelon/blog/index.php?entry=entry090204-2029382009-02-04T00:00:00Z2009-02-04T00:00:00ZFlu again. Before I got sick we rehearsed with Dwine and it's starting to sound pretty good. Have been working on backingtracks (clicktrack and synths, drummachines, noise, glitch, etc). I think it's going to be cool.
On Saturday and Sunday I will record, mix and master a choir in the Phonobel Studio. Sounds like it's gonna be fun.
I designed a new theme for Jeskola Buzz tracker and decided to call it "Bruce Banner":
