The 2021 edit of Seascape is out

Seascape has its origin from the debut album Fairytales (1998). It was the last track on the album and included a “hidden/secret track”, 30 sec after its end.

On this 2021 version, the hidden track is removed, no more secrets!

The track has also got som sonic treatment and a 2021 “makeover”. 

If you want to know what the 1998 secret was, put on the last track on Fairytales.

Old tapes transferred to new format

The industry standard master format, the DAT-tape is no longer in use. I still have lots of ideas and sketches in this format, so I will spend the weekend and the following days to transfer these to the computer as audio files.

Hopefully some forgotten gems might turn into full production in the future. It is always fun to listen to ones old ideas, some as far as back as 1993. Some of these files are already on albums like Fairytales..

Tech nerd alert:
The optical ins of the Edirol UA-25 audio card captures the digital audio from the Sony 57 ES DAT player, kindly borrowed to me by Vegar Pedersen. Some trial and error with cables and sample rates and we are in motion!
