Leaving off for a holiday. After few weeks probably back with some fresh ideas and new sound material. From now on I´ll use megaupload and mediafire, rapidshare for as long as my account exists without paying anything extra. Three brand new kaamoshows @ my other blog.
I´ll leave you with a joke of a year.

Uploading compilations
Since it looks like most of the compilations I´ve been involved in have disappeared along with Because God Told Me -blog, I´ve decided to upload them myself. Click the titles to download them from mediafire.
VA - Because God Told Me To Do It - vol 1 Formulation (see the original post here)
VA - That´s Romance 1 (see original post here)
VA - Tribute to Ruth White (see original post here)

not dead yet
Been quiet lately, but it doesn´t mean I´ve been just sitting home watching tv. Some new tracks are on their way, one of them is actually an instrumental doom metal piece which I am not quite sure what to do with it. A week ago I finally got my hands on my second-hand kantele (kind of Finnish zipher). First track made by that is already at the final mixing stage and you probably can hear it in a web compilation later this year at Soinoise blog.
Sadly it looks like dear Brad Miller decided to delete his awesome Because God Told Me To -blog and Kill Your Gods -site. Brad have been a great supporter for SSS and his blog was one of the very first blogs out there which I´ve been following regularly. Sad to see them go but he propably got his reasons for doing this and I respect it. Cheers for everything, Brad, if you´re reading this. Those sites gone missing means also that some links to SSS material no longer exist. This means that I have to re-up them and it takes some time.
UPDATE: Dear Jesus, I accidentally found out that he has resurrected his blog at different address @ here.

Gear-a-holic part 8
It has been quiet lately but that´s ok by me. At least one new track in Vote with a brick -series will be uploaded in a near future.
I was visiting Lapland lately and while going through old and new garbage at a local flea market I found this junk treasure:
It is an old (supposely made in 60´s) 32-string kantele. Normally I would pay very little attention to such thing but this one was a robust, broken piece which resonates nicely and was way out of tune. I instantly fell in love with the 'broken sound' of it (and the low price of 40 euros). It needs a little repair and a few extra strings but after that it will be nice little noise maker (it is quite large actually). Lovely!

EYEWITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM
Head over at Spettro to get brand new Salakapakka Sound System web album "Eyewitness protection program", collection of tracks made in 2010 which did not fit in "War". Stylishly it is more in the vein of "Kallokontrolli" than "War", meaning that there is some noise, some more ambient stuff , guitar impovisation and even elements of thrash metal and hardcore techno.
Tracks:
1. Last rays of the dying sun
2. ##o++
3. Noble art of white slavery 1
4. Heat wave
5. Noble art of white slavery 2
