New Song: I Knew It

Posted by lemiffe in Music, My Music on Jul 31st, 2009 | 0 comments

So, strange events take place in a life time. Life changing events. This is not one of them, but I wanted to make a song that expresses how I feel about quite a few things that happen in life, making reference to those life changing events.

It’s really a very bad quality song, as I don’t have half the audio equipment I used to have, nonetheless I hope you enjoy it. Download I knew it right here, or listen to it with the flash player below.

New Song: I Failed You

Posted by lemiffe in Music, My Music on Jul 30th, 2009 | 0 comments

This is my first attempt at making a really sad lo-fi song, using the technique I described in my last Twitter entry:

“I First recorded on a hand recorder, then passed through headphones in mic jack on PC, increased speed 300% and then back down again”.

I hope you like it: I Failed You

Sad Songs through Lo-Fi

Posted by lemiffe in Music on Jul 30th, 2009 | 0 comments

There is something interesting about Sad Songs when they are recorded in Lo-Fi, or played back through a lo-fi stereo, or one with cracked speakers, or one which lacks Bass.

Those slow sad songs. There is something special about them when played this way, do you not agree?

Grab Sigur Rós, Amina, The Postal Service and The Faint, put them in a mixer. Will it blend?

The sound of Fanfarlo’s debut album, Reservoir, stands as a more active version than Sigur Rós, a more Rock version than Amina, a more Acoustic version than The Postal Service, with vocals similar to The Faint’s. The music on this album has the same intensity as Sigur Rós’ album “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust”, nonetheless they mix in a lot more violins and trombones (or trumpets).

It brings forth a rather surreal experience. If you have not heard it yet, get the whole album for $1 at fanfarlo.com.
