Please notice that lot of stuff has changed(track names etc.) since they were written here.This diary is copied from our myspace blog. Chapter 1: Drums - January 20th, 2009The drums were recorded in four days and the sounds were set in one day with eight mics, it sounds fantastic! Markus played more creatively and tighter than ever before, the stakes are in the roof this time. We had our bassplayer Jonis father Jokke help us out with building up our little portable studio with mic placing, sounds, proper isolation and steady ground, and some excellent coffee, thanks a lot! And thanks Fransman for fixing the drumskins!But it wasn't all dancing on roses, the recording started with a broken snare drum skin halfway through the first track, but the sound was fixed back and it's not a noticable difference. And the fourth day we somehow managed to set the alarm two hours before it was supposed to activate and had the security in our backs the rest of the evening due to some misunderstandings. But it was all good. There are some pics from chapter one in the pics section! anyway gotta go, cheers! //Patrik Chapter 2: Bass - February 26th, 2009Basses are now completed after a 4-day dedicated recording session. Joni has pulled off heaps of kick-ass takes, but we're sad to announce that he no longer is the notorious one-take-man of the past. This, though, is due to us being really careful with the quality this time.Highlights of the bass recordings include Joni standing on a chair on one leg, controlling a volume pedal with the other, while Jokke and Patrik create magic with a screwdriver rolling over the bass-neck. We recorded through two bass cabinets, with an sm57 capturing the upper, and an akg d112 the lower spectre. The coupling chain: Bass >> Pod XT live bass >> EQ >> Trace Elliot preamp >> two cabinets --> shure/akg >> Saffire Pro >> MacBook --> Logic At the moment we are forging some diabolic dist guitars, which are to be finished in a couple of days. It's a major kickup to hear the songs slowly taking form! /Eemu & the band Chapter 3: time for an update! - June 3rd, 2009I know you are dying of anticipation so here's a long awaited update!...Just kidding, there's probably none reading this (ha-ha) XD... BUT since i now succeeded with some surgical procedures to remove my fist out of my ass i shall do it anyway! We are slowly getting ready with the album, and quite frankly i'm sick of it...but with the effort and time we have put in it, who wouldn't be :D Not only has this recording session been what it is, it has also been a creative writing period, the songs are nothing like they started out being. After all this time it's hard to see the wood from the trees, so it's very exciting to see how it will be received...it could be either way really, so were hoping for the best :) We are really looking forward to getting on the road, doing some gigs and doing all the fun stuff!"Album" - August 26th, 2009Finally! We are brainstorming though a myriad of finishing touches and trying to throw our fists to the table, and decide the point when a song is complete and we'll no longer be able to fiddle around with it. That is probably the hardest part, because one will always think that improvements can still be made, it's a scary thing to let go of a creation you've worked so hard on, to the public eye to be skinned alive. Tracklist (completely different from what we started out with, as predicted): The Rabbit There will be alot of cello included by Pia Henoch, she will join us to our gigs and hopefully end up as a fulltime member, we'll see what happens, either way she is superb.

Submit your koi reviews here: www.progarchives.com & www.sputnikmusic.com The Concept of In Tomorrow Hid Yesterday:The subjectis something that has followed around with me since I was a kid, this is something that can still keep me staring at the ceiling at nights. The eternal strife, the eternal hunger of the bottomless stomach, the eternalchase after the artificial rabbit. Growing up me and my mother were constantly moving from country to country and from town to town, so I never really got to seaze the moment, set my roots nor the chance to develop anidentity. But in retrospect I learned alot about myself, I early on learned to appreciate small things that I had taken forgranted before, from time to time telling myself this might all be gone tomorrow. Eventhough we went through tough economical crisises and various problems, it's the beautiful memories that stay the clearest. I early on understood that it wasn't the kids with the cool toys I would come to miss everytime I left, it was my friends, and it wasn't the kind man that always gave me neat gifts that i would come to miss, it was the person that's my father. The title track is about people who dedicate their whole lives to these materialistic pleasures. Eventhough we would like to think of ourselves as the super evolved modern man, we still work by the same principles as cavemen did thousands of years ago, who's the biggest and strongest, measuring genitals, who's got the longest and most colourful tailfeathers? It's only our surrounding evolving. We have these TV role models fuzzing about whether or not you're as important regardless of your economical status, your looks and your place in this great pyramid. Then the following day it's the same people bragging about their neat toys, positions and about how fucking awesome they are. The same people teaching how to achieve greater "success", how to get better looks and how to become powerful and awesome like them...There goes moral. And it's the next generation that gets their brains hypnotized with this way of life, with artificial and taught values. And god knows being left out or not being accepted is the worst thing that could ever happen to us! Even worse than becoming a machine! And then at the end of the day, ironically it's the same people getting mental breakdowns, getting movie biographies about their short, tragic lives and how nobody understood them, getting caught as rapists and pedophiles. Yeah, that's what I call success. If there would be a message in this concept, it would not be me preaching about what you should consider as valuable in life, who am I to tell you that? It's just a reminder that sometimes take a look around you, tell yourself that this might all be gone tomorrow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
