A Reminder

General:
So I'm finally releasing my first album called Embody. This is a very big milestone for me. All the songs I've release before have been mixes, since I didn't know how to master back then. Now I have studied mastering a lot and I have relistened to the tracks over and over a countless amount of times. With the new knowledge, I have improved the mixes and done the mastering for all tracks. It's not perfect and I still got a lot more to learn, but I finally got my first collection of original songs that I now can call complete, which therefore ends my first era, which feels amazing. It also feels good that everything involved in the creation process has been performed solely by me.


Song Choises:
There are a lot of B-sides for this album. Some are released here on YouTube, and some are still unfinished project files. I wanted to pick songs that are very different from each other, but still have some parts in common. Therefore, there are a lot of songs I like that isn't on the album. It also explains why songs like Lack of Sleep are on the album. This is a really old song from the summer of 2013, written and recorded in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. It's quite simple and low-fi, but I though it expressed something different than the other songs, which is why it is on album.

Sentimental Happiness is the oldest song on the album. It might be from late 2012 and it was made directly in the looper of Line 6 Spider Jam amp, which I later sold (I didn't use that amp for any other songs on the album). The last recorded song is Failure, which is based on a quite old idea. Therefore, the album contains recordings from a timespan of about 2,5 years.


Gear:
I have mostly used my Fender American Vintage 1962 Reissue Stratocaster. However, I sometimes used my Mexican Fender FSR Telecaster. Running Bunny, Five Shades of Yellow and the outro for Sentimental Happiness are some examples. On Lack of Sleep I use my Hagström Swede, which is the only song where I used that guitar. All the acoustic parts were recorded with my only acoustic guitar, the Martin DCX1E. I used my one and only guitar amp Marshall 2554 combo for all the guitars. On the first part of Change I used amp simulators though. I have recorded the vast majority of the songs in Logic Pro X. The others where recorded in Logic Pro 9.

Boss DS-2 has been used for all the distorted parts, except for New Phase, where I think I only used the Big Muff Pi USA. I also used MXR dyna comp, MXR Vintage Phase 90 and Moog Moogerfooger Cluster Flux for that song. The chorus effect for Leaf was made with Boss CE-5, where I also used the dyna comp. MXR micro amp was used on Failure. All wah wah parts was made with Ibanez wh10v2. I think I used the Line 6 DL4 for Floyd. That's all the pedals used.

The Truth Inst

This is a place to share hardware and software inventions, I was going to publish a book of my own but im going to start slowly putting them up here instead, it's too much work hassling people to do these things, so putting them here will hopefully reach the right people. Will start with the more simple ideas first.
 If you want to work with me on any of the ideas PM me with IDEAS in the subject, no person or company too big or small.
If you want to make it a commercial product then talk to me but im just as happy to work on it together and release it for free.
If it's someone elses idea just PM them, no need to tell me about that if you don't want to , although be interesting to know if I helped a hookup along the way.
Discussion and refinement of all ideas very welcome, in fact thats the main idea of this space.
Bring it on!
