about

I've plenty to say about 'Neurondisiac'. Combo word. Neurons. Aphrodisiac. What turns on your mind. Not sexually. Stimulatively.

It is 2 discs and well over 2 hours long. Originally planned for USB format. The duplicators never got back to me in the end, the plan sunk like lead. I planned to have 'FL' sticks branded with 32GB of cat loaded.

So here we have a name-your-price download of some of my best music. I might make a separate tracklist for the bonus content.

I say that every now and then bit I mean it's some of my best in the Bandcamp context here. Might beat 'Nothing' LP. I got one piece of proper feedback from Primus / Rexius Music demo site.
I will reproduce that below.

--Rexius Records Demo Submission Feedback on 'What Inneth Reverberates' (USB Bonus Content)--

"It's actually really amazing! Your demo started with an idea of your own, maybe a tune came to your mind while showering and maybe you just had to run out from the shower to record it on your phone to not forget it. Maybe you patiently waited for all the pieces to come to you and carefully crafted the chord progression, melodies, the bass line and lyrics, and finally there was a song. Now you have recorded it, some of you with your phone... sigh... and some of you with the greatest music producer living on this planet. Then maybe you felt that this piece of music is actually pretty great! "I want my music to be heard all over the world!" Maybe you went to Google and googled something like "Demo submission to record label" and then you found us, Rexius Records, a Swedish record label you probably never have heard of. We are really proud that you took all that time, just to send your demo to us! ;)

Now while reading this, your demo is placed in our rigid demo submission queue system, designed by 10 of the most reputable demo submission software specialists in the world. Your demo will mature during a waiting process and when the glorious day that your demo is first in line, it will be listened to by several people including the heirs of Mozart. Then if your music was approved by the silver ears, we will hire an objective marketing consultancy firm smoking cigars and drinking whiskey while analyzing if you have the prerequisites to survive the nature of the music business. We will patiently wait for the final opinion from the Mad Men and if it is a yes, we will make the wave and high fives will fill the air. We will make a facebook event to gather the entire city of Gothenburg for a wonderful celebration party, after two days of hangover we will send you the great news that you are invited to one of our labels (Primus or Rexius). Did we say that we take demo listening very seriously?

As you hear, it will take us a while to get back to you with an answer. We currently receive 25 demos per day which means something like 160 days of waiting time (seriously!). Hope you are not sad about that.

If having any questions, please send them to our intern hanna@rexiusrecords.com

Me again.

Stylistically it's library music, early 70s sounding electronic synthtopias. Experiments with software and hardware, drum machines and FM (frequency modulation) synths.
Equipment includes a fairly newly acquired toy Yamaha PSS 480 board.
Ableton synths make an appearance quite heavily in the second track.
I just tried to mix up my gear, it creates a less minimal, more rich, sound.
But it will always be the case that I stick to a certain obsessive timbre.

It's just my style, after all. Working with new sounds and techniques all the time is fun but I do like the sound of a good homecooked chilli jam.
All sounds produced in my home studio. Thanks flat block neighbours for bearing with me. Some of this stuff can get pretty wonky sounding.
It feels good the walls are pretty soundproofed, at least the neighbours say they never even hear me hehe.

released June 21, 2016

Additional mastering provided by one kind soul on 'Hit Like A Truck'; it was originally recorded with a condenser microphone so the beat output was fattened up really well by the unknown engineer.

Cheers to the usual suspects - family, Livvy for the inspiration and memories, mental health efforts the world over, those who push for justice, including Bandcamp. Thanks to them guys for supporting my uploads, I've made almost 60 releases on here so far now. This is the newest for over a month's gap in between. I needed the listening process to mature greater.
