Bronson Recordings
Saturday 09-12-2006
Hi. Played for an hour on Karl Johan street in Oslo on Thursday and made 10 kr. Found another CRT monitor in the backyard dumpster today. I have a quite neat collection now. There have been quite a few changes at Gramofonove, where we print our vinyl. We have a new contact, a new FTP account, and the new bronson record is being pressed right now. We're done with the DNB clips.



Saturday 25-11-2006
Upgraded my 1210 decks with new Stanton 505 SK II cartridges.

My NextGenTel ADSL Classic subscription now runs on the increased download speed of 4200. Upload speed stays put at 600.

Friday 17-11-2006
We have a new Obscuro record under production. Due to super-tight secrecy politics at Tijuana I cannot reveal more details at this time.

Friday 10-11-2006
I'm helping LaVie with 11 promo clips for DNB to be shown on a presentation on Wednesday 15-11-2006. Flash stuff. Flamenco Peko have now been online for 10 years! Happy anniversary to us!

Hello again friends. Yesterday I played in a football match. Brygga vs. the police at Kongsten. We started playing at 18:00. The police won 6 - 4, which was no big surprise. I played back. Among others, FB and TVN was covering the event. There's a photo with my good friend Jan Petter and me in today's issue, and even a photo on the front page, as well as a 01:32 long video linked from the front page on f-b.no. Here is kind of an online article. Rumors has it that there will be some coverage on TVN 17:30 today. Flash 9 is out now.

Time for a late summer update. Some days ago I recorded a song for a bachelorette party. Seven ladies sang a new lyric called "Call Me Queen" on top of an instrumental version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". That was fun. And funny. Yesterday I gave another guitar lesson. Out on the roof this time. After a lot of trying and failing I have two working monitors on PC1 again.
 

Sunday 16-07-2006
Today I was a guitar-teacher for the first time. That was fun and worked out great. I charge 100,- nkr. per hour. Welcome to Peko's Rock School! Then I played a few songs and helped out at a new gallery called Dronningen av Saba's Galleri. That was cool too.

Jon, Gard and Andre are here at Focus and we're mastering six new bronson comet lighter songs.

Saturday 01-07-2006
Played some kind of a lengthy solo acoustic free surprise concert on the boat MS Skjærhalden yesterday. Thanks for the food and beers people. We had a great time. I recommend this boat to everyone. It's at the bay in downtown Fredrikstad.

Disco 3
Saturday 13-05-2006
Disco 3 was here yesterday, and we mastered their new live set. You can hear them in concert at Hausmania this evening. Also they have made some cd-r demos with that "Hausmania Club Dub Mix". It now appears to have the shorter name "Hausmania Mix". Installed another one of those nice Plextor PX-716A dvd drives. DJ Chris Remix has now recorded two mix cds here at Focus. I've done the mastering, and I'm working on the graphics.

The New Klokkeswingers cd that I mastered is out now. There is an FFK kick-off / release-party at Scene 25, FMV, Kråkerøy, tonight, 21:00. The New Klokkeswingers and some other bands will play live. The cd has a street price of 100 nkr. You can get it at Glenn's tattoo shop.

People keep giving me their equipment!... Kjell gave me his Onkyo TX-DS575 surround receiver, Panasonic TV and lent me his Audio Pro sub. I've never had a sub to play with before. Wow! This rocks! Thanks a lot man. We originally thought the receiver was defunct, but it's amazing what a sub-zero trip can do to your equipment. If your hardware is faulty, put it in the freezer or take it for a winter stroll. That is the audio tip of the day. Also thanks go out to Torbjørn Aaberg for helping out with all sorts of technical issues in the studio.

We were talking about doing some photography on the Focus roof for the last ten years. Today we did. Photographer: Linda Edvardsen. Model: me. Assistant: Knut-Ole Ringstad. There are some pictures of Knut and I on Linda's site. Check it out. I've delivered the Sub track. Highly trustworthy sources tell me The New Klokkeswiners cd is being pressed in 500 copies this week.

There is a costume party at Vaterland, Saturday 11-03.

Sub
Thursday 02-03-2006
Work continues on the Sub and Chris Remix projects. Rune gave me his Behringer MX 802A mixer. Thanks a lot el'dudo. That is really generous.

Peru You
Friday 17-02-2006
The church recording Knut did will be mixed elsewhere. Also Peru You decided to go for a live recording from Mono for the Mono compilation. Makes sense. I'm still doing a mix of their unreleased recording of Run On's "Xmas Trip" though. Peru You are playing at Mono Sunday 30-04-2006. When quizmaster Lange-Jon joins The Oowees on vocals they become The New Klokkeswingers. We're finished with the The New Klokkeswiners mastering. It's a Plankehaugen FFK supporter record. Five songs and a radio edit. We're doing a mix for Kristoffer Iversen. It's a project called Sub. The song is called "Patrick". Great to see you again Kristoffer! It's been a long time. He has some additional tracks out as Mr. Cool. The CNet network card wasn't working out for me, so I bought a tekComm one instead. Works like a charm. Ubåt's brother DJ Chris Remix is spinning at Verdensspeilet kaffebar every Wednesday. It's a student thing, but open to everyone. He goes on around eight o' clock. He plans on recording a mix cd or two here at Focus.

I'm mastering a new record for The New Klokkeswiners. I've finally invested in a set of Technics SL-1210MK2 turntables and a Pioneer DJM-300-S mixer. Out now: WaveLab 6. Check it out. It's magic!

Tuesday 31-01-2006
Skype 2.0 is out with video support. I just made my first video and audio call. Knut is doing a recording in a church tomorrow and we plan to mix and master here at Focus.

Peru You
Monday 30-01-2006
New sound-card: ESI Waveterminal 192L. No more Creative. It has multiple outputs, so I'm finally able to do the one-song-in-head-set-and-another-on-the-speakers thing. I've been playing around with the new NI Traktor 3 release. So much fun. New head-set: beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO/80. Sound-card and head-set both sound great. I'm renting an additional room here in Farmannsgate. No more sleeping next to the super-noisy computers. I'm working on a new Peru You mix. Details are secret as of now. I've written quite a few new songs, but more on that later.




Bronson Recordings
Saturday 07-01-2006
Made some artwork for a planned Bronson release with Jon on Thursday. The new motherboard is installed. It's an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe. Feels really good to be on a faster platform with AGP 8X, ATA/133 and such.

Tuesday 03-01-2006
Happy new year everybody. Got me a new AGP 8X graphics card. Goes by the name of Creative nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200. New motherboard arrives soon too.
