Atlas Reshaped from Subliminal

Subliminal — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:11:37 GMT

At last, I have finished my remix of Anchor's Atlas. Now, it may seem that I am on a roll here, but I started quite some time ago with both Atlas Reshaped and A Comforting Solution. Not that I have been working on both these songs all that time, but still, both were not exactly created overnight. Next up is a serious attempt at completing my version of Blind Date. This one I have been working on when I got stuck with everything else, but now it is time to try and finish it.

Freedom from Subliminal

Subliminal — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:43:42 GMT

I have finished another track for my Orpheus In Hell project. This one features Snowflake's spoken word piece Freedom, which is therefore the title of my song. You can also hear some excellent clarinet playing by Fireproof Babies, which he recorded specifically for this song. The track opens with a flute solo, originally called Still Life, which in its final version was inspired by the Dead Can Dance song Piece For Solo Flute from their splendid live album Toward The Within. I used a stretched and reversed version of my flute solo as an extra layer in the second part of the song.

A Comforting Solution from Subliminal

Subliminal — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:24:56 GMT

There is a new remix to be enjoyed. It's called A Comforting Solution and it's a remix of Artie Q's song Belief. I could waste your time by talking at lengths about it, but Artie has said it all here. The only thing I would like to add is that it was Duckett's drum loop which got the creative juices for this remix flowing again. So, thank you Duckett!

Unfortunately I had to stay the hospital about 5 month ago. Because I sat in front of the PC for a long time and I got injury on my hip depth and I got high fever that's why I staied the hospital. And then I was treated and I came back to my home but I had still the injury. that's why I have needed to take a rest long time, I mean that I couldn't sit in front of my PC long time. I couldn't answer for your kind comments, you know why ? Everybody, take a rest, enough sleep, eat much and move your body !!!!! Don't concentrate too much for your creating music also doing internet, All right ? Regards, HIROTO.

New collaboration track - Panu Moon from colab

colab — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:51:05 GMT

Hello world.

I've added a new track that I created for Panu Moon (ccmixter.org/people/panumoon/profile) - a more folksy traditional track than I have posted here before, but one that hits very close to home for me.

Hope you get a chance to listen to it - it features all "vintage" instruments (e.g., very nicely sampled instruments played on my MIDI keyboard):

Bass - Kay Hollowbody
Harmonium keys
Challen piano
Hammond RT3
Vintage drum kit

...With Friends Like These from Subliminal

Subliminal — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:45:55 GMT

As mentioned in my previous blog entry, I have uploaded the individual tracks of With Friends Like These for others to remix. You can find VBR mp3 files here and a plethora of different file formats (like WAV and FLAC) here (where you can also find the full mix). I also want to use this opportunity to thank Steve and Edwin for their valuable and valued contributions. Their willingness to contribute to this song should not be taken for granted and deserves the highest gratitude.

Who Needs Enemies... from Subliminal

Subliminal — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:08:49 GMT

There is a new track available for you to enjoy. It's called With Friends Like These and it features Synthetic aka Steve Engler on vocals and Edwin van Buuringen on lead guitar. I am planning to release the individual tracks for others to remix. I will probably upload mp3 versions to ccmixter and wave versions (including a wave version of the full mix) to the Internet Archive. But more on that later.

New song added: Theme for An Imaginary Mindmovie from Mindmovie

Mindmovie — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:36:03 GMT

This will be the opening title of my upcoming first solo album. If you find some time please take a listen and if you want to feel free to leave me a comment. Audio quality is below my normal standard as the song is 8 minutes long I had to go down with the bitrate to 160kb. Anyway I hope you may enjoy.
