By request, I have decided to compose a rock opera. This is a 'teaser' featuring the overture of the epic story of 'Gungadin'. Only music by now, but more will come. Enjoy...
As I have told you before, I now have in my possesion a small music maker programme. You can actually make your own music, just like that, without having instruments or anything. A little basic knowledge of music theory is in fact all you need.
This song, I call 'Apples', because apples are always an inspiration.
As some of the Daily Blues subscribers as well as regular visitors may know, I have an injury in my left knee, in short the anterior cruciate ligament has snapped and the remains have been removed a few years back after a road accident.
Thursday morning I went to the hospital for an examination which was to decide whether or not surgery was relevant. I was in fact scheduled for fiber optic probing.
Fortunately, the doctor soon established, by just jolting my leg a little around, that static cycling, training and strengthening exercises will be enough to prevent the need for complex surgery. To put it simple, I just need to go through a rerun of the recovery-training I did in the six months after the accident.
I was very relieved, to say the least.
This morning I went through the commercial advertisements I found in my mail-box, and discovered a slightly disturbing connection between two otherwise unrelated items in a hardware catalogue.
Here's the recent top single from Denmarks biggest rock/pop band right now Nephew. Their fourth album 'Danmnark/Denmark' is out next week.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing their live-performance a few times over the years, and they rock. Their mixture of minimalistic hard rock and 80s-style electro has sort of created a trend in Danish music, and everybody on the scene use oldschool analogue synth equipment these days.
The lyrics are quite interesting. Abstract expressionism, switching between English and Danish and sometimes German. Not many boy meets girl themes here. It's deep, dark and very Scandinavian.
Enjoy '007 Is Also Gonna Die'. It's on constant rotation on almost all Danish radio stations right now, but I grant you with the opportunity to switch it off and move on if you hate it.
PS: Switch on the HD-function if you can. Both visuals and audial improves a lot.
