My album Focus is on Choon – Crypto and tunes

I just uploaded my album Focus to Choon. What is Choon? In their own words: “Choon is a music streaming service and digital payments ecosystem—designed to solve the music industry’s most fundamental problems. Choon allows artists to earn cryptocurrency for every stream of their tracks.”

My studio right now (2018)

XAKK Studio 2018

Lots of things have happened in my studio the last couple of years. I built a TTSH (Arp 2600 clone) and I also got, perhaps a bit carried away with the whole modular thing. :) Anyways, this is what it looks like now. Many of the hardware you see here was used to make my latest album Focus.

There is a more or less complete list of all the stuff on my Studio page.

My Play It Loud Gameboy Clear with 7 mods

I’m having another round of Game Boy mania at the moment.

Been refurbishing and modding the old original and Play-it-loud models. This one turned out pretty nice don’t you think? It’s specifically modded to be used for making music/noises with programs like LSDJ and Nanoloop.

Roland System-100 ACID MANIA Live performance

I just recorded another video of me tweaking the old Roland System-100. I got this idea a while back to try to do some sort of live performance, with drums or drum like sounds, live on the Roland System-100. Everything was recorded live in one take. All sounds come from the System-100 run through the Strymon El Capistan Tape Echo effect box. Not something I would include on my next album but still fun to try new ways to push this old baby to the limit.

I now have less music on Soundcloud

It is time for the yearly subscription fee for Soundcloud Pro but I have decided not to continue paying for what I think is a pretty crappy service. Cost vs benefit = not enough value for me to continue. Because of this I had to delete most of my music on there, which is kinda sad but hey almost nobody was listening anyway. You can still find me on my bandcamp site, Spotify and Youtube, to some degree.

Chilled Beats 03

I made one more Spotify playlist with chilled, laidback beats. Since not many seems to be listening to my playlists I will probably stop making them now. Why spend a lot of time searching for great music when I have no listeners really..
