Phonocratic Records

I have had a fantastic week in the studio, finishing four songs for the new album, due for release this Autumn, as well as completing a Laurie Anderson remix (voting is still open). If my voice permits (I have had a terrible cold for more than two weeks, that ruined all voice recording attempts) I will record vocals for the new single, which will be released in June. More news on that soon.

We’re celebrating one year with the new site at www.phonocratic.com! Sadly, there is not much other news. Lost Shadow is currently working in the studio on songs for the new album, hopefully to be released later this year. Stay tuned!

Today, Phonocratic Mobile is closed, after more than two and a half year serving Phonocratic Records mobile needs. Also, the old studio PowerMac G4 is thrown out, after acting strange for the last year. Instead, I have installed new studio hardware, allowing better recording quality, both in the actual studio and for mobile purposes. And parts of this new studio is also very much portable. From this date, all recordings done using this equipment will be referred to as recorded at Phonocratic Records, which once again becomes the only recording studio for the label. Phonocratic Mastering remains intact, as of now.

The first recordings with the new studio equipment was made this morning, and it sounds great! Soon instrumentals for the entire Lost Shadow collection due for release in November will be completed. Stay tuned for even greater sounds!

Today I finished (I think) the arranging part of the last song for the forthcoming Lost Shadow collection album. I will start the recordings as soon as possible, so still everything seems to be perfectly on time for a November release date. Stay tuned for the first new single, which will be release in advance of the album!

Sorry for the long time without any news. However, this time no news is good news, everything is going great! As you might know there is ten years since the first Lost Shadow recording was released (the Lost and Found single) this Autumn. This will be celebrated with an album containing songs from all these years, slightly rearranged and refined. This album is scheduled for release in November (the same month as the Lost and Found single was released ten years ago). My primary focus has been to get this album ready, and the recording for it will begin very shortly to be finished during October.

I have also spent some studio time on making songs for a new Lost Shadow album, which will be finished some time next year. For now, this is all I can tell about this new production, but expect an exciting Lost Shadow Autumn, and an exciting Lost Shadow year in 2010.
