I finally decided to publish my old track “destruction means progress” from me and a friends old band, about:blank, through ReverbNation. It cost me a dollar to get it up on Spotify and five more platforms, which seems like a deal to me.

Since I’ve been creating and composing music of all sorts since the early 90’s, with trackers in those days, I’ve built up quite a library. Most of it is crap. But some of it is actually quite respectful.

But I’ve never bothered actually trying to do much of it. It’s always been a “thing I’ll do some day”. Becoming old as I am, I realized that – oh wait – some day never comes. I just have to do it this day.

So I started with what seems to be a simple track that most people appreciate, in the somewhat inappropriate category of industrial-body-electronic-noise-music. And, being a person that never seems to be satisfied with anything, I sat down and taught myself basic video editing skills in Premiere Pro to attach an entertaining video to the track.

So that’s that. Maybe someone somewhere will play it, like it and earn me a cent of my first royalties in life. 🙂

The track was composed in Cakewalk Sonar, and mainly using actual hardware synthesizers. Among them Korg N5, Roland XP30 and some others I’ve forgot right now. It was then mixed and mastered in Samplitude. And for todays release I’ve remastered it using Adobe Audition with the very nice plugins FireCharger and FireMaster from FireSonic.
