It has been awfully quiet here. I know! Sorry :)! I think that keeping the blog on the VI album was fun, but somehow I did not get the grips to write any posts afterwards. Yes, I have written two solo albums since.
The first after Synkissä väleissä is called Syksy (Autumn), and it is something completely different. I enjoy ambient music a lot, and listen to it mostly while working, and decided to try to write an album myself. I used only my old and dusty Korg DW8000 synthesizer and some effects along with a sequencer. I'm not that satisfied with the results, as the album turned out still not-that-ambient-but too-much-music, but I did my best. Better luck next time.
The latest one, Kotiseutumatkailua, is a kind of mixture of doom, blues, and Guitar Hero. I had the concept in mind while I improvised the basic drum tracks. I recorded maybe ten takes, and started experimenteing. I composed some riffs on top of the drums, selected the most promising ones, and continued from that to the bass parts. After that came the guitar solos, and in the end I added some synths. Sounds easier now than how it felt while was playing the solos.
