Hydro-Fun

January 10, 2012

The more music we make the less time we have to write about it, it’s really stupid since it’s probably more interesting to read about what we do when we’re doing it than a couple of months later. But until we can afford a press agent who write interesting stuff about us 24/7 it’ll be like this, but we’ll try to be better with more regular updates.

Sol is working hard with a contemporary piece for electronics, visuals and an ensemble and today Johannes assisted her recording wine glasses with a hydrophone. It sounded cool so we decided to upload and share it with the world. We just got rid of some noise and added a reverb so this is pretty much what it sounded like. In the coming days Sol will start to tweak it into something useful and most def wicked as hell.

2012

January 1, 2012

Happy new year everyone… We’ll promise to be even more productive in 2012 since this is supposed to be the year when everything ends (according to the Mayan calender anyways) so we better get our first full length album out there pretty quick. Right?! Or was it this the Mayan calender was all about, it has been a countdown to Noisebuds first album? =)

Harry Partch

December 20, 2011

Everyone should have a go at Harry Partch music, at least once.
You may not like the sound at first (probably it will sound terrible) but we found him very inspiring in his search for his own sound. Something he really thought sounded good and right to his ears and mind. He didn’t stop at coming up with new microtonal scales, he also built his own instrument based upon theese scales. You can look,listen and play on them here.
Also, it’s always a great relief when people tend to to their own thing. Tom Waits talks about his favourite records of all time in an article from The Guardian and Harry Partch Collection Vol 1 (New World Records, 2004) is one of them.

We found a 59min long documentary by Darren Chesworth from 2002.
It’s a good introduction to his music and life as a hobo. Enjoy!

Noisebud LIVE!

December 2, 2011

Finally we got hold of a snippet from a livegig we did this summer. In spite of the poor quality we’re very happy to get hold of it anyway (thanx Roger!) and thought it’d be fun to share with you ..enjoy!

Teaser from our next album

November 23, 2011

We’re working as much as possible with our upcoming album that will be released sometime during 2012. This release will be the first release from us that actually sound anything near our own perception and view of the Noisebud sound. So far the release that we consider to be most Noisebud is “The Breakup EP” (http://music.noisebud.se/album/the-breakup-ep-2) but we hope we’ll deliver an album beyond that!

Recording Memo Cassette

November 12, 2011

We’re in a studio for a couple of days to record an album with one of our side projects, Memo Cassette. We also just launched the site http://www.memocassette.se, not much there yet but it’ll slowly be filled up with news about the album, upcoming gigs and such… you know the drill. We decided to go outboard with this recording and choose the studio fashion police in Stockholm. The studio is filled with all kinds of high rated vintage gear and the desk has been used by Pink Floyd among others. We took some pictures with our cells today, we’ll bring our SLR for the remaining sessions for some nice close ups on all the knobs and faders.

Good looking Noisebuddies… no… Hoodies…

November 7, 2011

We finally got the huge package with fresh hoodies and Tee’s with our new logo from the US, we couldn’t resist the strong urge to dress up and take some super-model-like pictures to show our fresh wardrobe off. Aight, here we go….
