Join me for a walk in the woods.

I spent my childhood on the outskirt of the great forest Ödmården (The desolate woods). Once upon a time it was a dark and dangerous place dividing the north from the south. According to Ketil Hoengs Saga, where it is called Eyskógamörk, it was 20 reststops deep and made for an evil journey. Few dared to travel the dark and wild forest.

I have always been fascinated by it. It’s history and all the stories and legends born and told there. Now it has brought me a lot of inspiration and fodder for lyrics. And to juxtaposition those with industrial music seemed to me as a very good idea. So lend me your ears and I will tell you a little about the forest where I used to play as a a child.

The first release from Eyskógamörk will be available on the 6th of April, 2023.

One less bottleneck in my workflow

by JAB

I don’t have a proper vocal booth in my studio. So what I used to do was to empty a small storage room and fill a bunch of shelfs with pillows and fabrics. Then I put in my microphone, computer and audio interface inside and record some vocals. Quit tedious since I have my whole setup in the studio with a lot of synths and my monitors plugged into my audio interface. So this meant I just did’nt get my vocals recorded a lot of times. But now I have solved this by buying two long cables… one for the microphone and one for my headphones. Then I found this little app (Logic remote) that let me control Logic from a distance. So wonderful to be able to record some vocals without the hassle of disassemble my studio and put it back together again very time I record vocals. Happy camper! Just finished recording vocals to a new song called “Spräng banken”.
