Sick as a dog

Hey guys!

What is new? Well.. I have got this insanely annoying cold. I hope to come back to work tomorrow!

Last week, me and my brother Elias “SHY” Ringquist finished a track for a major label. We keep our fingers crossed that something great will come out of it! We are really proud of this track! It is simply amazing. :)

Lasst weekend I finished Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception with Liam. No more Uncharted for a while.. :(
I really hope Naughty Dog Studios will consider making another one! Since these games are nothing but INCREDIBLE! GAME OF THE YEAR in my opinion!

Since I got this cold, I have been playing trough some more games. I finally had the time to finish Dead Space 2 and Undead Nightmare! DS2 was good! Better than the first “techincally”, but I still think the story was better in the first one. But Undead Nightmare is so freaking awesome!! It feels like you are playing trough an old Romero movie. The soundtrack, the creepy atmosphere is there and the story is perfectly executed by Rockstar Games as usual!

Have you every played Red Dead Redemption or UN with headphones? This is absolutely the best way to enjoy these games. When you walk around on the open landscapes you can almost feel the nightly breeze in your clothes. And if you walk inside an old barn or rusty house, or an railway station in the middle of the day in the steaming sun, you can almost smell the old wood. It is just perfect!! :D

I think I’ll tryout some Battlefield 3 single player now! Hope it is fairly good!

Session above the rooftops

My head is all messed up. Too much music today. :D Elias and I continued on the new track today. We borrowed mom’s apartment since she is in Spain. The best room at her place is definitely the living room. Located on the fifth floor above Slussen, you can imagine the view right? Open skies over rooftops.. With LARGE windows. I decided that this is the place to re-record all the vocals. We also recorded our old piano,  just to get the right feeling. :) It was a good day! Most of the vocal parts is done. I am really excited about this one folks.. It is fresh, it is New..

Productive day Deluxe

I have been REALLY productive today! I feel proud of myself. 

My brother Elias (also known as “Shy”), came over after lunch. I finished the new cover for the new Shy release “Shy Remixed”. I used to play around with photoshop when I was a teenager, but I didn’t know my skills where still intact. The result is fabulous! I’m proud to have it in my portfolio.

I also helped him to finish an invitation for his new gig at Fasching, the 26th of august. You should come! We will celebrate the new remix EP (if everything goes smooth, as planned). And you will be in for a treat with Shy performing with Hofstone by his side!

I also managed to clean 70% of our whole apartment! I even cleaned behind the stove, in the stove, around the stove, behind the stove buttons.. etc etc. You get the point right?! ;) I love cleaning, I feel such satisfaction when I notice the change. I want everything to sparkle. I want to be able to drop food on my floor an still eat it without feeling like I am a nasty monster. :)

We ate lasagna to dinner from Da Luigi (the local italian restaurant), and watched Casino Royale together with Paula. It is filmed in Montenegro where we had our vacation. It was cool to recognize spots. It is such a beautiful country. Except the food.. terrible.. yuck.

I forgot to pick up new medicine, since my old pack is out! So I’ll head out to the local pharmacy!

TOMORROW I HAVE BIG NEWS FOR YOU GUYS!!! :D

Bye bye then!

Meetings & decisions

Good morning people!

I just opened my eyes. I feel like a newborn kitten.. :)

Paula just went out to her work in Älvsjö. Today I have a lot of stuff on the agenda. First of all I have a very important decision to make today. When I’m done with that, then it’s time to have a lunch with Max Carlberg aka. Lunar Motion. He is buying himself new studio monitors today, so I’ll be a guiding hand.

Later tonight I have a meeting with my brother Elias Ringquist also knows as Shy. I am making the cover for the 4 Clubs & Hearts Remixed EP. So tonight we are finalizing the project. I think it looks really great! I’m so excited about the release.. Elias is currently dealing with Cutting Room to do the masters for the EP.

I noticed yesterday that Native Instruments are releasing the Komplete 8  bundle in september. It looks stunning! Loads of new plugs and effects! I think it is almost overwhelming with all the features.. But hey, it looks freakin’ SWEET!

Time to wake up!!
