For Shure

Posted by Harmonic Agenda on

Good morning

I’m up early  today, Liam woke me up 07:00.. haha! I am really lucky Paula and I went to sleep before 00:00 last night. I slept like a baby.. I sleep very good now days. Everything in my life feels so good, like everything is in the right place.

Since Liam woke me up today we have been playing and completing Uncharted 2! What an EXCELLENT game! I think it was even better then the first one.. Liam wants me to pick up the third one today, haha.. Maybe I will. :)

I have found a new pair of headphones that I plan to get in a near future. I have always been an “on-ear” type of guy when it comes to headphones. Since they usually sound better and are more friendly to your ears. AKG is one of my favorite brands when we are talking music gear. I have used AKG for the last 5 years I think. Their frequence curve is very straight and natural which is very good for mixing audio. But for the last couple of days I have been looking for a pair of REALLY good in-ear headphones as a complement to my existing. And boy have I found me a pair that seem to blow everybody’s mind! I am of course talking about Shure SE535.

The SE535 have received fantastic reviews and high scores in several tests. They are both natural sounding and have a very expensive and exclusive inside. I fell in love with them at first sight. Now I just need to save up some money to be able to buy them – since they are NOT cheap. You have to pay about 400 euro to get a pair of these bad boys! But as far as I am concerned, they are SO worth it! I am heading over to Reference Audio today and perhaps I can try then out there! :D

Then again.. Which color? I like booth! :D

Work hard, play hard..

Hey :)

I think you have noticed that the activity here is reduced. The reason is that I am working 9 hours a day. We are currently working on one of the largest electronic business projects ever to set foot in Stockholm City. I am really proud to be a part of this. We (by we I mean me and my colleagues) are working really hard and I think the pay off will be legendary. I still have to be very secretive about everything so far. Stay tuned.. ;)

Last weekend Liam was here. :) we finished the first Uncharted game at last. We really enjoyed playing it together. After the credits he instantly held up the cover for Uncharted 2 and said “John, let’s play this now..”. :) So next weekend we will continue our next adventure together. Great games! Best on PS3.

Last night I finished the final Gears Of War 3 act. It felt good to pet an end to the series. Though I am pretty sure Epic games will cintinue making the series, but perhaps they’ll wait for the next generation consoles. And in my opinion Gears 2 i still the best one in the series.

Since Halloween is closing in.. and it is midnight in 15 minutes, it is time to finally start playing Dead Space 2.

I talked to some of my close friends a week ago. We discussed wich difficulty you should play a new game on, you first play trough. One of them thought that “normal” is the best way to experience a game for the first time. His argument was that he want to have the story served on a silver plate.

But I think he is wrong. Todays games is getting easier and easier. One of the reasons is that, more and more people who are not used to play games, discover the magic world of video games. I guess that the gaming industry want’s to think “Well, your mother should be able to pick up the controller and play”. I don’t really think we are there yet. Perhaps when my generation are all grown old. :)

I always play games on the HARD difficulty the first time. Normal is too easy.. You rarely die, you just float through the story with minimum effort. That is NOT hardcore gaming. Even if you play the game 20 times on the same difficulty. I want to experience moments of frustration. I want to feel mentally and physically fatigued. I want to feel the adrenaline running trough my vains when I am SO close to beat that impossible act. I want to play some parts over and over again until I reach perfection and complete the “impossible” task. I want to feel the satisfaction when I beat the final boss, and know that I did it HARD! ;)

Dead Space 2 is installed and ready.. Here we go!

A million bucks!

Hi there my mini agendas!

Hope everything is fine with you. I feel like a million bucks! I have been for the past month.. It feels like everything is falling into place. My intense course I told you about is nearly finished. On friday I have my final showdown!

It is going fine at SAE. We are only weeks from finishing the course. My final arrangement is done and ready for a test listening in Studio 1 on thursday.

Liam is playing Lego Star Wars, and Paula is adding some new color to her hair at the moment. I think we will go for chinese lunch today!

I started playing Uncharted Drake’s Fortune last night. You can really tell that it is from 2007. It looks really good in a charming sort of way. Strong colors and lots of focus shifts in the in-game videos. It really feels like a combination of Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones. Awesome! :) Just what kind of game I was looking for. I also have the second game ready, when I finish the first.

Now it is time for lunch! Talk later.

Uncharted day

Posted by Harmonic Agenda on

Have you guys ever used Tradera? It’s like the swedish e’Bay. It is addictive as hell. Haha! I usually buy video games there! I recently bought the first and second Uncharted game, since I still haven’t played them yet.. Yeah, I am kind of ashamed about that.. :P I really look forward playing through them both! I also got the Need for Speed Shift 2. It looks really good and is a good completion from Gran Turismo 5, since GT5 is more of a simulation and Shift 2 a “semi-simulation” with an arcade twist feeling. ;) The last NFS I played through was Need for Speed: Underground.. that was a loooong time ago, right?!

At the moment I’m watching Sharkville on National Geographic HD. Paula is asleep beside me and Liam is playing with his trains and little cars on the floor. It has been a good day so far. Erling, Paulas dad is coming to pick up Liam in an hour, he really wanted to visit his grandparents. :)

I’m really looking forward to the Shy Remixed release on friday!! I’m so proud of my remix of Broken Hearts. From the first time I heard the original BH I fell in love. Since this is a track with a little dedication to me. :) So when I heard that I actually was going to remix it, I got really excited about it. I made the arrangement in about 5 hours over a night. And then I continued with the track on the next day with some help and ideas from Paula. She actually came up with the lowpass filter idea on the chorus and that made the track so much more dynamic!

I really hope you would like to support it on friday! It will be available on iTunes and Beatport. It will probably take about 2-3 weeks before it is released on Spotify, I’ll keep you posted about that too.
