Welcome To Mars!

 

Today, I found something fun. I was digging around on my PC and stumbled upon the Grønth – or Grønt Græsh sessions.

A little back story:

Grønth, former Grønt Græsh was a little Danish hippie rock quartet/trio (depending on era) with heavy roots in the Led Zep camp and inspired also my a lot of Danish 70’s bands. Pure rock, with lyrics in Danish, written by the amazing Bjarke Slot.

Back then, I played bass. Still do, if we ever get to play music together again. Technically, we never split up.

Anyways, we got together for a couple of sessions at Bjarke’s recording studio, Soundvice, to have a little fun, and we ended up recording two amazing songs.

The first one I will introduce to you today. It’s called Velkommen til Mars (Welcome To Mars) and is about arriving on mars and meeting all the martians there.

To play “Velkommen Til Mars”, click play on the music player above.

I hope you like it. More to follow.

Metal Madness – new mix

“Metal Madness - 2nd mix” Comment & more at RiffWorld.com

As I was not happy with the original mix of Metal Madness, I decided to remix, adjust and tweak it somewhat, to get a little more energy and “oomph” in the sound. I think I have accomplished a much more appealing song this way. I hope you agree with me.

As I stated first time I posted it here, it’s a little tribute to the “true” metalheads out there – the bands like Manowar who takes it all dead serious. …or do they? I gotta say, I admire them for their dedication to their music and the style, and their willingness to wear skimpy leather speedos on stage. Death to false metal!

As always, please help me spread my music. I put a lot of work in these and would love for as many people as possible to hear it. If you like the music, or just feel like passing it on to someone who might, please send them a link, post this on Facebook, stumble it (use the button on the top of the page) and anything else you can think of.

Sunday.

Hi gang,

It’s Sunday, and we are now 11 days into the horrible time called “Monique’s Vacation”. Affirmative. I am without my wife for two weeks. TWO WHOLE FRICKIN’ WEEKS!

No no no, this is NOT a good thing, guys. In contrast to most guys I really LOVE my wife and I want to spend my time with her. So I miss her.

Considering that it is only I and Dee at home (and of course, Lasercat), the house is surprisingly clean. I wonder if that is because I am getting old?

I hope not. I am not ready to grow up just yet. I am having WAY too much fun.

Today, I was really hoping to work on more music, but I have not gotten a chance. I’ve had visitors, and now I am doing various chores, laundry, dishes, cleaning, and general picking up (NO! I AM NOT OLD!), and the studio keeps calling me. But I must resist. I know there is no such thing as “just 30 minutes” in there. If I go in, I stay for a long time. And a long time will not do. Not today.

I am getting up early tomorrow, going to work early to save up some hours. The plan is to be able to go home early Wednesday, when Monique comes home. I miss her badly, and I want to spend the day with her.

I know she has had a wonderful vacation, visiting friends and family in the US, I can see her smiling and lighting up when we talk on Skype or Oovoo, but I hope she will be just as happy coming back home to us. She has had a rough year’s time, and I hope that is about to end. Luck and Fortune will come to us soon. Better jobs, more money, more time together, more happiness. :)

Love is a strange thing. We don’t really need to be doing a whole lot together. I just need to be with her. All I need for her to do is to be around. …and of course her cooking. I love her food. You know what they say about “the way to a man’s heart”.

Anyways, this is for you, Babe. I love you more than anything, and I can’t wait to see you home with me again. I miss you like crazy. So does Dee and the cat.

I love you forever, Monique.

Metal Madness

EDIT: This posting has changed, as I have posted a newer version of the song I am presenting. Please go to http://kingkeld.blogspot.com/2010/08/metal-madness-new-mix.html to see the new, relevant posting. Thank you.

I have written and recorded a new song. This time, it’s a little tribute to the “true” metalheads out there – the bands like Manowar who takes it all dead serious. …or do they? I gotta say, I admire them for their dedication to their music and the style, and their willingness to wear skimpy leather speedos on stage. Death to false metal!

The morning before the town festival

It did not look too good for the town festival this morning. This is how the street looked at 7:30 am. Later today, at 7 pm it's raining again. Does that mean I will get to sleep tonight?

South Of Heaven – Country Style!

“South Of Heaven cover”

Comment & more at RiffWorld.com

Using RiffWorks you are able to do online collaborations, where musicians from all over the world meet up online and collaborate on music productions. What a great idea.

However, recently they have been working on the servers, upgrading systems and all kinds of other things. This affects the users in the way that we can not always access things online.

I wanted to collaborate on a “South Of Heaven” RiffLink (that’s what the collabs are called), but because of the online trouble it would not let me do it.

So I decided to do one myself, all by myself.

Not sure why it ended up as a country track. I came across the “train” drum rythms, and I guess making it country became a challenge. :)

I hope you’ll have as much fun listening to it as I had creating it.

For those of you who do NOT know the original, here it is:

 

Enjoy!

And here it is, Ladies and Gents! This is my first FULL song, finished and good to go, vocals and all. I am pretty happy with the result, though I am sure listening to is more times and nerding more with it will make me make a few changes here and there. I know, I am not the greatest singer, but at least I think I am in key most of the time. :) Anyways, Enjoy!

Of course, this WAS my first vocal attempt, mixing could be better, but overall I think this is a neat little song.

An upbeat little punk-rock-metal track, trying some drum beats out. Hope you like.

My first attempt of creating a "real" full length song using RiffWorks. I think it came out kinda nice. Thanks to Freddie for lending me his axe while mine was being sharpened at the butcher's. :)

Acid Bass

Okay, so here is my first posting. Let me tell you just a little bit about how it came to be.

I have started writing, producing and recording music in a program called RiffWorks. It’s a great, intuitive program that really gets the musician in you going without you having to be too much of a technician at the same time. It promotes music instead of killing it with technical mumbo-jumbo. I like it. A lot.

First time I was going to try it out, my beloved guitar was in  the shop. All I had was my bass and my effects board. So I decided to do this little snippet, just to try things out. I like the result so much I decided to keep it. LOVE the bass solo sound. So angry, and so spacy. Enjoy.
