Milky Starshine live video

This is completely live even though the video may be out of sync here and there (we got a HUGE amount of drop frames when shooting this). I’m sorry that there are no close ups, but I’ll try to describe what we’re doing.

Starting with myself and what I’m doing with my Akai. I’m controlling three loops (bass, rhodes and synth), tweaking the cutoff and resonance of the instruments, tremolo of the rhodes sound and doing some effects on the vocals (mainly delay). I hope you can see what I’m playing. Otherwise it’s a short rhodes line in the beginning, a lead line and a pad. Software used is Ableton Live for triggering midi loops and Logic Pro’s software instruments. Midi is sent internally from Live to Logic.

Jonas is doing all the percussive parts on a Trigger Finger. There are tree different channels. The main drums, the soft drums and some extra loops and sounds. He is triggering different variations and fills, controlling decay and reverb and doing some beat repeating on some of the sounds, using Ableton Live.

Mathias is obviously playing the guitar. He is running MainStage for some different delay effects. On the floor he has a load of pedals, but I’m not entirely sure what he’s doing with them. Probably some pretty cool guitar-guy stuff. He is also using an E-Bow.

And last but not least we have Mathilda singing, but that is self explanatory. May I remind you that it’s live and recorded in one take!

The Sweet Serenades

If you’re in to The Hives, then you should check out our guitarist Mathias’ band The Sweet Serenades. Only TSS sounds much fresher. They like to label themselves as power pop / energetic rock. We’ve been collaborating with them every now and then; Lead singer Martin is the star in the video to Say No More. Head over to the video section and have a look!

They’ve just released First Taste EP. Get it from iTunes.

There might be some fine Artymove-remixes on its way in time for their upcoming album debut (coming spring 2008). Meanwhile, enjoy their music!

What's next?

After a long and nice vacation one might wonder what Artymove is up to. Since both of us has been on vacation as well there hasn’t been much news. This is what we’re about to do next:

- Finnish the music video to Information Failure. It will probably be due in September.
- We’re going to have a couple of gigs real soon. Stay tuned for announcements.
- Last but not least, we’re very pleased to announce that a new EP is in the works. This time it will be covers of great songs from the nineties. Hopefully we’ll manage to get it finished as early as late September, which means you’ll get your hands on a copy by October.

Video: Say No More

Ny video på gång!

Videon till Say No More är snart klar. Idag hade Bröderna Näslund (Andreas t v och Mathias t h) en liten privat visning för mig och Mathilda. Vi kommer att ha premiärvisning av videon i samband med skivsläppet på AG den 19:e april.
