"membrane" the upcoming album by Dorninger is nearly finished.

Two tracks still make me quite a little bit unhappy (sound!???!) but all other tunes sound extra fine for me.

The music is based on recordings with microphones (-> membrane) and in most cases I only use quite "old" technologies like editing, eq's or pitch-shifting. Wild mind-expanding VST plugins are used very seldom, only 2-3 times on the whole album (like in "Asten").

The album will be released as CD plus a 12" vinyl record on base records. Out early october 2010.

Feel free to listen to "Micro-Move" to get a little idea how "membrane" sounds.

Rega Planar: My turntable!

Most of the people listen to music mobil!

As I wrote in some blog-entries before we have constant changes in the way we listen/consum/interact music.

When I was a kid I bought vinyl 12" records and seldom 7" singles (mostly from Ralph Records). Why? I love the album. Not the hit or song was my prefered music experience, no it was the album. I've spent many hours a day listening to albums alone or with friends to get not only a song or music. The artistic behind was the thing I was into.

"Nazca" by E.P.Kirch: Dieses Bild habe ich von Peter einige Wochen nach der Uraufführung von "Nasca, on perspective" (2006) erhalten.

Wie ich gerade von einem Freund Peters erfahren habe, ist am Mittwoch den 9.Juni 2010 Egon Peter Kirch (die meisten kennen ihn als Church) in seiner Wohnung an inneren Blutungen gestorben.

Freunde versuchen gerade eine würdevolle Verabschiedung zu organisieren. Das ist mit Hürden verbunden, weil Peter zu Lebzeiten schon keine Angehörigen mehr hatte und mangels eines Testamentes ein Notar über die weiteren Schritte verfügt.

Sobald ich Ort und Zeit der Verabschiedung erfahre, werde ich diese Angaben umgehend weiter geben.

You now we all live in a cloud call social media. Before media operated as sender. We decided what signal we take and that it was. When I was a kid we also had our networks, circles and social plattforms. Saturday night we always came together to listen, discuss and fight for our new records.
It was so simple. 10 guys (no women??!) talked about music, why they bought a record, why Eric Clapton is more boring than Leslie West, ???!! ......

As I wrote in my blog some weeks ago in April that the album is fading out - is dead, gone, history!

Digital downloads change the face of music production dramatically. It seams that in the iTunes world the song killed the album. What a pity.

Data:
Tunacore sold 2009 26,23 million songs but only 1,47 million albums. The RIAA data speak the same lanuguage: 1.388 million songs versus 76 million albums.
Nice graphics here.

In the days of vinyl and CD it was the opposite.

It seams that only connoisseurs and "snobs" will release and buy albums in the near future.
