Been recording lately. With STMODM. In our rehearsalroom. On 4-track.

Must say I really like 4-track recording. It’s play, record, ping-pong. No plugins.. Mmm. You can check out one of the songs, Desire over Words, on www.myspace.com/soturnmeondeadman.

We were going to record more today, but our drummer had to go to the er. He’s fine, but can’t play for some days. We’ll pick it up again next week I guess. I hope to record Hard to Ignore and maybe We are Not Trees. Great songs. We’ll see what the other guys say. We have a lot of new songs! It’s great. More to come too. Been working on some other new ones for a while, plus there are more on their way. Lyrics are forming too.

I also have some new Emma-songs I think. Maybe even Golovan tunes. We’ll see. They could also be STMODM-material. Not decided yet.

Okidoki.

Btw we’re not dead either. No action on the page for a while, but some progress in our heads.

Plenty new songs:) Rumours of a live gig sometime soonish.

So Turn Me On, Dead Man

Hmm got to do something whith the design one of these days.

Yes, I wanna go. But it aint gonna happen. Darn. Go to Pitchfork for the whole shebang.

[EDIT]It’s still super buggy. Managed to record some tracks, but then Jack suddenly got zombified and I got this error message: “cannot read result for request type 7 from server”. Plus something about Broken Pipe. So we’re not quite there yet…[/EDIT]

Yes! I finally got it to work. So now I must write it down…
There may be several steps missing here, I’ve been fiddling around for ages trying to get this one to work. Anyways, here goes:

1. You need a Realtime Kernel. Yes, you do. Go here for instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/Feisty
2. Of course, reboot after your new kernel is installed.
3. In terminal sudo modprobe raw1394 (or add to modules for permanent fix)
4. Also in terminal sudo chmod o+rw /dev/raw1394 this one has to be done each time you fire up the firebox..
5. Launch qjackctl AS ROOT (then realtime ‘just works’)
6. Setup jack. My setup is: XRealtime, Priority 75, Frames/Period 256, Sample Rate 48000, Periods/Buffer 2, Port Maximum 256, Timeout 500, Interface hw:0, Audio Duplex, Input Channels 10, Output channels 10, Input/output latency both 0, Start Delay 2. And yeah of course: driver freebob.
   I’m pretty sure I will tweak these settings later, but leave it like this for now,. it works:)
7. Then launch Ardour as root. Start your session. And start recording!

Yup. It’s that time of the year again!
We’re leaving this weekend. First we set course for Øra tomorrow, then the highway to Roskilde.
Looking forward to this:)

Some of the shows I’ll be attending: Boris, Queens of the Stoneage, The Who, Bjork, a shitload of tiny, but great, and you’ve seen/heard them om Pitchfork-indiebands , The Lionheartbrothers, Spiritualized (acoustic) etc.
Haven’t memorized all the ‘must see’ yet.., but there are a lot of great bands to check out

This years possé: Ellen, Me, Pero & Pinky.
Info: Three’s a crowd, four’s a possé.

It’s gonna be ‘RÃ¥lækkert’, hopefully
Maybe there will be some updates, maybe not.

So here’s more fun.
