sounds like a chipmunk is singing the song

Ever since we recorded and produced ‘Carousel’ several years ago, we’ve been hearing so many positive reactions about it, and about the need for ‘couleur locale’ like this. Loving Carousel as much as we do, we decided to do an encore, a sequel if you wish. We infused this new instrument with a lot of the things we’ve learned and perfected over the years, and our scripting mastermind Ken Black added an ingenious script to glue it all together and make it feel and play as it should in proper Sonokinetic fashion.

For recording we went back to Hilversum, the Netherlands, and booked the same studio we used for Celesta. We teamed up with A.W. de Vogel, who comes from a long lineage of prolific organ-men in the lowlands. 
He brought along two of his most cherished barrel organs, a small hand operated one, and a larger one powered by an electric motor, that we barely got through the studio entrance. 

The organs made some waves in the ‘Muziekgebouw van de Omroep’. These instruments have a tremendous ability to move people, maybe it’s a Dutch thing, I don’t know, but it was very interesting to me how such a ‘mechanical’ instrument turned out to invoke so many emotions in so many different people. There is a certain kind of magic that radiates from the wooden dolls, the creaky mechanics, the lacquered cardboard pianorolls and the skilfully painted front. These instruments are meant to bring joy, and that they did!

In order to help convert this joy to a kontakt instrument we tried to adapt some of the functionality of the original instrument to the digital equivalent. 
We thought of the mechanical runs that permeate proper barrel organ music, and found a way to do that with the pitch wheel, and trills with the mod wheel, which all felt very natural to us. The ‘melody double’ function makes it very easy to play your melodies in octaves, and for the large organ we recorded the original tremolo effect.

All in all we feel we delivered a very inspirational instrument with ‘The Carnival’ that not only sounds the part, but also makes it very easy to play ‘authentic’ material, and all while being great fun in the process… 


The Carnival demo "Candyfloss" by Marie-Anne Fischer

Egosum

I wish I was a human...
But I'm just an idiot ...
I worked in vain
And I broke my bones

Descendant of Sisyphus
Sacrificed to the Money gods
It said that the wheel turns
Well, I broke my bones

I get bored during all this time that runs away
The Spirit of the Laws constantly predicts me happy days
Slave of modern times, Zombie from this rotten fruit
I know that justice is blind and liberty is mute

A moronic crowd shuts itself
 down on innocence.
While the Spirits of the Laws 
exploits all these cretins.

What a terrible punishment
All this time spent in vain
Banks and corporations 
laugh at people in pain

I get bored during all this time that runs away
The Spirit of the Laws constantly predicts me happy days
Slave of modern times, Zombie from this rotten fruit
I know that justice is blind and liberty is mute

Considered as a pariah,
Relegated to the rats.
a kind of fuckin' hysteria,
makes me sleep with bats

Slave of modern times 
I was paid a pittance
I've lost control of my life
I’ve used my existence

I get bored during all this time that runs away
The Spirit of the Laws constantly predicts me happy days
Slave of modern times, Zombie from this rotten fruit
I know that justice is blind and liberty is mute

HYNNNER - Egosum [2012]

Un album "WTF" dans lequel vous trouverez un tas de morceaux nuls.
Bien souvent ce sont des bases d'improvisaion. Des musiques très peu travaillé donc, globalement. 
Il n'y a absoluement rien à attendre, mais je trouve dommage de laisser trainer ça sur mon PC.
C'est un album "ouvert", c'est à dire que d'autres morceaux viendrons s'y greffer de temps en temps.

L'album PDUTDM viens de sortir après deux ans.
Encore 3 autres projets dans les tiroirs.

Je compose essentiellement sur les sentiments. 
C'est avant tout pour m'exprimer. C'est la manière que j'ai trouvé pour extérioriser les choses :)
