Bloomy news
Finally there’s time for a day off and an update of all things bloomy. As planned I recorded some mbira for ‘A Little’. I came up with some really nice melodies, but they made such…

Deadlines & Lifelines
I’m here at my parents and since there’s nothing much to do here tonight I thought I’d finally catch you up on what I’ve been up to. I don’t want to apologise for not writing for…

M.I.A.
Yep, missing in action. The action being the finishing touches for the album. Sorry for being such a slacker. It’s for the greater good 😉 Drum roll: 6 songs finished. That’s half of the album.…

Warblings
Been a busy bee singing singing singing. Then listening back and editing. I’m starting to get sick and tired of hearing my voice all the time. One day I love what I’ve recorded, the next…

All over the charts
After writing last time I gave myself a four day break from my music. Spent the days cleaning and tidying up my flat (couldn’t stand the mess anymore), clothes shopping (it’s sale after all) and…

Tidying and ‘The Tide’
Another week gone by. It was great visiting friends and family once more even though I have to admit I didn’t get as much done as hoped, but at least as much as expected. Thursday…

More catching up
As promised, here comes the sequel… So what else have I been up to lately… Last Tuesday was the last hot day for a while and since I hadn’t had much time to enjoy the…

I don’t like Mondays… and computers
Been busy trying to rearrange some of my new songs so I can play them live. I wasn’t expecting it to take soooo long, but it does. Ran into some problems today when I realised…

Wanderlust
My favourite remix at the moment…drumroll Björk -Wanderlust. Remixed by Ratatat.

Counting down to zero
Still on ‘Zero Tolerance’. Recorded the last missing vocals. My voice is still a bit rattled by allergies (darn birch trees), so I guess I’m gonna re-record them at some point. I started working on…
-
Communication
Phew… I did it. Finally finished the lyrics for ‘Zero Tolerance’. Feels pretty satisfying, probably because there’s been a lot of sweating involved over those darn words – figuratively speaking. So apart from laying down…

Berlin sounds
I must admit I’ve been slacking off with the blog writing recently. Then again writing a blog every night takes up quite some time and I’m trying to make up for the lost time from…

All I Need?
Totally unrelated to my own stuff, but… Great band, great music and a great and meaningful video. Thom Yorke : “All power to MTV for taking this on because it’s obviously going to be difficult…

Backupping fun
Still working on ‘In Unison’ and I really like the way it’s going. I spruced up the beats, all done now I guess apart from some panning and effects fun. They’re almost drum’n’bassey except the…

Whistling away
Got a bit late last night and I’m trying to get up earlier. The cold’s been messing with my sleeping pattern. It’s not like I need to get up at a certain time every day,…

This and that
Time’s really been flying in the last couple of days. After being sick my flat looked extremely messy. Dishes piling up, no more food in the fridge. So I started undoing the mess and once…

Off the couch
No news in the last couple of days because the cold had me lying on the couch. Much better now though. My nose still looks a bit like Rudolph the Reindeer’s and I’ve got a…

Cold
I’ve got a cold. On monday there was this woman sitting beside me and constantly coughing in my direction. And I thought to myself, it’s all good and well that she likes sharing, but does…

Christmas in August… maybe
Last night it got really late. I only went to bed when light started seeping in and the birds starting singing. Hence I got up late, too. Then I realised that I had to do…

Threes and fours
I’m gonna have to keep it short tonight. Seriously have to go to bed now. Early appointment tomorrow and apparently I have to walk for almost 40 minutes to get there because of this damn…

Smoke and fire
Today was a strange day. I’ve been heating my place with a coal-burning stove, because it’s cheaper and quite cosy and warm. Last saturday when it was so stormy the smoke started seeping out and…
