I’m A Dad!

Who knew this day would come? Our (first) daughter was born over a month ago and only now I’m writing about this. Just goes to show how invested I am in this blog :)

Seriously, though, it’s been very exhausting to have a newborn in the house. We’re still getting acclimated to the new situation, while enjoying our wonderful beautiful  (I’m totally objective) child.

She just started to smile, too, which is heart melting. Getting a smile from her is like a ray of light on a cloudy day. It makes all the hard work worth it. Well.. most of the time, at least :)

I had to put aside my new endeavor of music-making for now. There’s just not enough time for it at the moment. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to it in 2019. Also, I didn’t write about the new and excellent new album by The Prodigy, which I’m enjoying a lot.

Deluge “Disillusioned”

Not too long ago I got a new music making device called the Synthstrom Deluge. It’s a professional portable synthesizer, sampler and sequencer. Or, as I’ve seen it described, it’s a groovebox.

My first track with the Deluge is very basic in the sense that I only used sounds from the internal (and vast) library of sounds. Also, I almost didn’t tweak any sound and just used most of them as is. I think it came out OK.

The Prodigy – We Live Forever

The fourth single from The Prodigy’s upcoming album, No Tourists, is out. It’s called “We Live Forever” and it’s a fresh, fast-paced rave tune that takes you back to the 90s dance days with a modern Prodigy twist.

The new album is out Novemeber 2nd.

PO-33 “Chill”

This one took a very long time, but not for a good reason. It’s not great overall and the movements at the end are very messy. I simply got stuck making it and wanted to finish.
