looking back: dissident(en) club and aestate live 2006 |
|
sven is proud to look back
on his live dates with dissident(en) club and aestate which happened on
one weekend only. in time before there was not much time to do enough
promo, so we received mails of people complaining to have missed it. sorry,
everything turned out to be quite spontaneous and developing quickly.
some events were well organised (aestate), others less. maybe it is even
useful to mention that all other bands were worth to be seen and listened
to, too. please tell us what you

flint to work on cover for sven album #4 / win a string |

expecting sven album number
four created a real hype around the upcoming music. itīs hard to record
outstanding songs and sounds, to find the right title and itīs even tricky
to do the right artwork, everything is strictly conceptual (as always,
nothing new here). graphic artist flint confirmed to collaborate
with sven to create the right sleeve to the new work. these are the rumours
and facts around sven album number four. above you see flint having a
good time, he's as committed in front of the camera as he is behind. you
already know his work. flint did the music video for the song "mine "
from diptych. you can watch it by clicking here.

songs in conflict: review on sven tracks on retrospective excerpt
|
|
the last sven album was released
in 2004, trinity, a highly appreciated masterpiece defining a new,
more powerful direction. now, about two and a half years later sven returns
to studio to record the follow up. have a look at the journal by clicking
here.
svenīs projects and styles developed so fast and were spread over different
bands and projects. therefore "retrospective excerpt" was released in
december 2005. this disc isn't a regular album but a compilation of representative
tracks from sven, dissident(en) club and sellafield.

all systems on "go" - draft of a masterplan |
|
you
are the first to know, you know? there have been so many questions around,
an insecure future, no schedules and lack of inspiration. actually we know
a little bit more than ten days ago, the events are coming up quickly... sven confirmed quickly to work on his equipment to be ready to return to studio in july, hopefully. sven also promised to answer alina moriīs questions as soon as possible. ("there have been many interviews within the last days - most of them with the wrong questions. it seems to be quite confusing to get the greatest interest by delaying releases and recordings. i need to listen to my own thoughts again, the alina interview will be the last one - letīs go back to recording") additionally we hope to have the new alec smith tracks on the svennet radio soon. we also expect some reviews at the same time, what about yours? please tell us what you think / title suggestions for sven album #4? tell us here |

quadrology, quadrille or something? quo vadis, sven? |
|
we
are still receiving emails by fans asking for the new sven release. there
are some funny suggestions for the title name sent us by patient fans: quadrology,
quadrille (as you might know, the title always contains the number
of the album, so this time there must be something with "four"). now some facts: sven plans to return to studio to record real instruments (the loops and samples are already done) in july. that's the plan, let's see what happens. also true is that sven has already found a title for the record - but he wonīt tell us, sorry. do you have any suggestions? pleas tell us here. also: alina mori, writer for the irish coffee club, is recently trying to get an interview, with no result. she promised to work on that. any new sounds? sure. we expect to have some new mp3s from the alec smith session online soon, to be found in the radio, also as download. rumours: sven is working on new record of tides (!!!) stuff again, but there is definitely no release date, nothings safe, nothings planed - just some new sounds and ideas. we thought this project had ended, but this seems to be not true. so: don't wait for a release in the next month, but maybe expect something. please tell us what you think / title suggestions for sven album #4? tell us here |

new alec smith session yesterday - three new songs |
|
alec
smith, singer/songwriter and long-time and important figure in svenīs music
development, records again. although mr smith is able to record on his own
and although his and svenīs musical directions have split off more and more,
he came over to "ennoble" his sound. common sessions have a long tradition:
their first session (recorded on tape) was back in 1995, their last one in 2004 - |
you might
remember: |
|
yesterday,
alec and sven recorded three new songs: someones killers der hain bewegt und furchtsam auch (based on innocent eyes from 1996) mr smith on vocals, acoustic guitar and bass sven on programming, loops, bass, percussion and lead guitar. after all these years of recording we cannot expect a release date for a "real" alec smith album - he is so critic, sven confirmed to work on this problem... additionally sven said he is quite happy with the session: alecīs music works completely different than mine. i think my task is to bring his sound to somewhere he could not get to alone. he is a man with a guitar and a voice, thatīs all he wants to be, but we think thatīs not enough for a collection of songs or an album, so i try to get a lot of rhythm and additional melody lines into it. i made alec smith to sing on an electronic beat - i could do everything. he gave in, thank god, now in all his music there is the man with his guitar and some instruments or laptops around it. it is the best of both worlds, hopefully! please tell us what you think tell us here |
