These cool fellas from Filistine release their new album "Loƒe" today! We produced, recorded, and mixed that thing last year in November @Slash Zero Studio, the legendary Ludwig Maier mastered it, and now you should grab your 180g vinyl copy (or CD if you dig rare audio format), or at least give it a stream - you probably got some time to spare these days anyway...
At the end of 2019 I teamed up with Filistine @Slash Zero Studio and recorded their new album called "Loƒe" (which will be released on April 17) and this is the first official music video (directed by Mr. Eberl) - Press "Play"!
Milk (w/ coffee) + MyMüsli + Mastering = great start for Dynamic Range Day 2020...
If you love music and are an audio nerd like me, you'd better check out Ian Shepherd's webcast tonight, as there will be lots of great sounding music recommendations and this year's award winner! Let's produce some great sounding records this year!!!
My friends from Burden Of Life release their epic new album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which the legendary Christian Kötterl and I co-produced in August last year @Slash Zero Studio) via NoizGate Records today. Be sure to grab your copy at Bandcamp! You could also stream it, if you're kinda old school...
Burden Of Life released a new video (filmed by the legendary Tom Eberl) for their epic power ballad "Trust My Own Heart" (featuring Luisa Funkenstein), which shortens the wait for their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which was produced @Slash Zero Studio)!
The first post here in 2020 will be about my homies from Burden Of Life releasing their new video "Geistesblitz" (filmed by Bernhard Schinn), which will be on their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" - produced here @Slash Zero Studio.
With this vinyl-oriented playlist I'll quit 2019 and start 2020. If you are, like me, constantly hunting for new music, check out my TOP5 ALBUMS OF 2019 and hopefully you get inspired...
1986 - the year I was born, and the year my uncle Robert Porcodio was about my age. He used to play headless-bass (and wear this awesome orange jacket) in this legendary 80s power-ballad-band back then. Their legendary debut concept album "Argonaut Journey" sold platinum in Nicaragua and French Overseas Territories. After their song "Love Is Not Real" was not featured in the soundtrack for the movie "Top Gun", the record company stopped distributing "Isolation VII", which has become a bootlegged underground phenomenon ever since. Isolation was history, and history was forgotten. Finally Capitolism Records (those guys suck!) re-released "How Does It Feel" from "Isolation VII" to raise some money... well, at least they did something!
TG Copperfield is known for his incredible guitar work and releasing several albums per year - "Talkin' Shop" being his 7th solo effort, and his 4th album in 2019... more neat facts: we nailed that album (from recording/mixing @Slash Zero Studio to mastering by GKG Mastering) in exactly ONE WEEK in August... Now can you outgun that?! The album is released by Time Zone Records - get your copy here or stream it!
Code Of The Road released their debut EP "Hypocrisy, Anyhow" (which I mixed and mastered few months ago)! Check 'em out on Spotify if you dig that good ole Rock 'N' Roll and get their CD (artwork painted by Phil a.k.a. Acid Robot from Radio Haze)!
Among many things, there are at least two that all Hertrich Bros have in common:
a) they all have the same parents
b) they all have the gift to create fabulous music (as you can see if you scroll down this blog)
This post shall be about Johannes & Gabriel (Unifono / Attune) and their new Electronic Industrial Pop Rock 7-piece all-star band All Blank, who now released their debut album "A Thousand Views", which I mastered recently... Check it out on Spotify and help them reach 500k streams, for they'll then consider to release this piece of art on vinyl...
Yo, check out my homie TG's latest video to "Suckers & Crooks" (filmed by Schtifilms) and make sure you'll catch Air's SICK drum break at around 1:10min. The song will be on his upcoming 7th album "Talkin' Shop" (produced @Slash Zero Studio).
My Ohrange Bros released the 3rd music video off their album "L[i]eben" (produced here @Slash Zero Studio) for the song "Patronus" - shot by up- and coming video dude Tom Eberl!
Today Radio Haze are releasing "The Psychoustic Sessions III" exclusively on 10" eco-colored vinyl with fancy booklet limited to 200 copies. I produced, recorded, mixed, mastered, played bass, guitar, rhodes, sitar, hurt my fingers, sang, and made strange sounds, and had fun doing it. Air played cajon, bongos, some things that made rattling sounds, melodica, synth, sang and layouted Phil's artwork, who also guitared, drank, and sang on this record. Ah yeah, he also played a banana... (have you seen the 'making of' video?) You should definitely turn on and tune in, because the trilogy is now complete!
This time my path of work has led me to master an EP by Cocon... The song is called "Wien West" and is featured in its original version, but also contains remixes by Unifono (for whom I recently mastered his "Modal" EP) and Loewe (a.k.a. Jakobin). It is distributed by the French house label Jango Del Mar and if you're open for some non-guitar tunes, you should definitely give that one a listen!
Slash Zero Records have the honor to release the latest MASS album "Still Chained" (which contains 13 re-recordings their classics from 1973 - 1987 plus 2 new songs) on vinyl! As I wrote earlier this year, I recorded parts of this ship, and even got to mix and master it. You can order your copy at their Bandcamp store - but be warned: a band that already sold 200k units before will easily sell out the strictly limited run of 500 double-LPs on 180g red translucent vinyl (with etching on side D) in a nice gatefold pretty fast...
Radio Haze released a new video called "Have Mercy On Me" (directed by the legendary photographer/filmmaker Ludwig Van Borkum) today. Be sure to pre-order your copy of the ultra-limited, eco-colored "The Psychoustic Sessions III" 10" vinyl (which we recorded @Slash Zero Studio last year) before they're gone.
"3. Weltkrieg" is 5 years old today. 100 people made this special album possible WITHOUT ANY INTERNET ABUSE! It's still a mystery how SV could produce such a masterpiece in such a short amount of time (3 days - songwriting included). This was also the last record released on Hate 206045 Records before we went "professurnal" and changed our name to Slash Zero Records. Get your copy at Bandcamp - sorry folks, no streaming...
The 5th release this year that I was involved in will be that of acoustic singer/songwriter trio Kleine Terz, who visited me @Slash Zero Studio in March and recorded their first magnum opus "Großes Album". The album is now available on Spotify and you can get the CD at their live performances.
"Momentum", the 3rd album by Radio Haze, is now 5 years old. It was recorded in 2013 at our old studio as part of Hubi's music production studies at Berklee. Grab the last copies if you dig 180g translucent vinyl or give it another stream!
Friday April 26th, 2019 - after 32 years, the legendary MASS are 'back to the music' with their 9th album "Still Chained". Founded in 1973, disbanded in 1987, resurrected in 2016 by founding member Günther V. Radny, they re-recorded 13 songs from back in the day plus 2 brand new compositions. I had the honor to record parts of this ship, and even got to mix and master it. You can order your copy here or at their record label Pride And Joy Music...
Johannes Hertrich (Unifono) - 1 of 4 legendary Hertrich Bros, which also include Fabian Hertrich (Young Fast Running Man) and Gabriel Hertrich (Attune) - released his 1st album "Modal" (which I mastered). If you're into Downbeat TripHop, give this one a listen on Spotify and support him at Bandcamp!
The sun is shining, had some Glenallachie jam for breakfast, and my new Steven Wilson - Home Invasion vinyl box arrived - what a great way to start Dynamic Range Day 2019! Let's produce some good sounding music this year!
Ah yeah, and please spread the word and join Ian Shepherd's webcast tonight or Lij Shaw's live stream if you wanna know who won this year's award...
This album should have gotten way more attention: "The Love To End All Love" by Symbiance (director Konstantin Ferstl and cinematographer Stephan Bookas) - produced at the old Slash Zero Studio 5 years ago...
Just look at this awesome music video to "Timeless Wars" and you'll know what I mean...
Ohrange teamed up with Schtifilms to shoot 2 nice videos ("Diva" & "L[i]eben") for their latest album "L[i]eben" (produced @Slash Zero Studio and I even played the bass parts)!
