- aeronaut — Mit dem Wind - adaptation by Mindmovie featuring Sara England
-
-
Description: For my international "On the wind" project on myspace, I asked several people to write a version in their own language and style for my song. Mindmovie is the first to come up with a beautiful german version called "Mit dem Wind". The german speaking people will notice that is freely translated lyrics are really beautiful and at the same time true to the original. The music is, as we are used from him impeccable. Sara England's emotional singing goes straight to the heart. Amazing work by 2 great artists here on mi7.
Mit dem Wind Mit dem Wind
Ziehst du davon
gehst dahin im Flammenmeer
Feuer brennt so lodernd heiß
und mein Herz, gefriert zu Eis
Du bist fort
in eine andr’e Welt
Und dein letzter Gruß
verweht am Himmelszelt
Nie wusste ich das Morgenlicht
So kalt mir in die Seele sticht
Ich laufe weg
verberge mich
was immer ich auch tu
vergessen kann ich nicht
Die Zeit mit Dir hier Jahr um Jahr
All Dein Trost wenn ich mal traurig war
Auf dem Wind
und außer Sicht
Dein letzter Flug
In’s helle Licht
Das Feuer brennt ich bin allein,
doch am Ende werd’ ich bei Dir sein
Feuer brennt so lodernd heiß
und mein Herz, gefriert zu Eis
Bin alleine...

Although This side is now soooo painfully slow that it is no longer a real funny thing to upload something - here is a new song. Welcome to any visitor who wants to leave a comment about the music. This title features Sara England on vocals - she as well as myself have discovered what it means when you a re trying to build a "house of love" with the wrong person. That's what this song is about.

Quotes of the day:
Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up. ...The lack of attention to usability represented by these experiences blows my mind. I thought we had reached a low with Windows Network places or the messages I get when I try to use 802.11. (don't you just love that root certificate message?)
Now you're thinking "oh God, another Linux zealot going off about Windows"... until you see who wrote it: Bill Gates. Full story at Gizmodo Note: this is actually an old story about Windows XP. Vista, as we all know by now, is even worse. read more... - rodney — Symbian is Free Software
-
- News just in is that Nokia have bought up Symbian, and intend to release it as Free Software (under the Eclipse Public License) as of today. As far as I'm aware Symbian is currently the most widely used Operating System in the world - there were 100 million phones running Symbian in 2006 - so this means that as of this moment Free Software is now more widely used than proprietary software. That's a pretty significant shift in the way of things, especially considering Symbian own 67% of the smartphone market, with Windows Mobile holding only 13%... read more...
- rodney — Real World stuff
-
- Oh, forgot to mention in the last post: I've been spending some time recently talking with The Cedars, winners of the MI7 Real World contest. Looks like the plan is for me to produce the session at Real World Studios sometime next month, if all goes well. I'm very much looking forward to it, they are a great band, and I think we could create some damn fine tracks there. Let's see... read more...
- rodney — back from being a hermit
-
-
I haven't been posting much in the past couple of months, mainly because I've been taking time to work on a new book and get some personal business stuff out of the way.
Things are looking interesting though... we've been approached about a new record deal, and asked to play some more festivals at the end of the year / beginning of next year. So the plan is to spend as much time as possible in the studio over the next few months and finally finish off all of the things that have been sitting on the hard drive for ages in a half-finished state.
So someday soon I might even get round to putting some new songs on the music player! :-)

- synthetic1 — R.I.P.OUIM.net
-
- I was saddened yesterday to discover that a real nice net label that I have released 2 albums on seems to be calling it quits. The label is OUIM they were founded in Bulgaria in 2005 and have consistently offered some very fine electronica from all over the world. The quality is high on every release I have heard from composition to presentation of the final product, with very nice looking cover art and high bit-rate downloads. The label hasn't offered a new release since my early January offering called "Winter EP" and the site says we are closed, sorry. Fortunately all their fine music is still available there to download for free, and I strongly recommend the works highly. For killer modern hard stuff try Death On Glamours LP, and for the most atmospheric ambient check out any of Observation Point's releases. I can only hope, that continued support may bring this fine label back from closure. In the meantime, if someone can recommend a similar net label, I need a new home for my free albums. read more...

- rodney — April is the cruellest month
-
-
Well, April is nearly over now, and I can't wait to see the back of it. It's been a horrible month. My home office got burgled twice - and the second time while I was still at home! I lost a ton of my gear, computers, phones, passport, credit cards etc.
Luckily all my data was backed up and I'm slowly getting back to normal, but it's taken some time. So if you've been trying to get hold of me and didn't get an answer, now you know why...

- What a great evening last Saturday in the Sugar Factory / Amsterdam. The first of the "Battle of the Platform" (presented by Mi7 and 365MAG) - which is not really a Battle but much more a great platform to learn more about Ableton LIVE 7, Propellerhead Reason 4 and Cubase but now from the mouth of professional musicians and producers instead of factory product specialists. Thanks to Auke, Chris, Jessy and Cenk Unis ... More about this event soon on this blog ... Ciao - Jan read more...
