FAWM 2020 Part 1 introducing KLANGFABRIKKEN

Due to FAWM2020 I set up a new studio at my office at Nesoddparken. This turned out to be on of my best ideas in a long time... It was so cool to do all the work here. Some musical friends also came to visit. These were the best days! Thx a lot for participation and having fun february month 2020. Some songs to be released later. Lot of mix and mastering to do. I managed to write and produce a lot of things this year. Sure I wan`t to keep my studio like this.....

FAWM 2017: "Dream catcher"

Participating at Fawm.org again this year. (February album writing month) Can´t be so involved this year because of money work. But I will use a lot of my freetime, to create new songs. I like this concept. I am not into any genre, and are completely free. So this one you can listen here, is some minimalistic, dark ambient, teckno. I am satisfied with this. It got something.... Lyrics is written by fawm collaborator @jezbel. Enjoy.

Comments:

@silentkid: 

The spoken voice makes me think of some obscure Lee Scratch Perry song, and I guess adding some short reverb/echoes could work great on them, enhancing the daunting feeling. The drum loop thats driving the whole track is awesome. Nice job!

@engebretsen  just now

Thx for comments on "Dream Catcher". Yes: I think you´re right about using reverb/echoes. Will see if I can do this after fawm this year.

Music report - New song: Miss U

Had a really nice time in Flatdal. Almost one week doing music. Did 2 new songs. And 2 remixes of old ones. Even did a lot of singing. One of the remixes is of the song "Fume X" that we gonna make as a music video. But it needed to be shortened, and other delicious stuff. It sounds quite good now!

Hooked

Hooked

This is my new track. This is Funkytrance to kick the dancefloor! You can download it for free until 1. september! (Push the blue botton "Hooked" for download and listening.)

More techno alert: Whisper

The second uploaded song today. Whisper is brand new, made in january 2012. And it´s more techno! Trance, progressive house sort of. Listen and enjoy!

Cover photos for Whisper and Lighthouse is from earlier trip to Kristiansund. I have of course done something in photoshop, but I think you get the impression of my music here.
There is something about my techno style now, that is more personal. I like the direction of my music.
This two songs: "Whisper" and "Lighthouse" can certainly be something on an album, sometimes in the future. Together with earlier favourites "Sunshine" and "Orbit". We`ll see.

Techno alert: Lighthouse

Some action now. I have done my experiements last year and really looking forward to do some progressive house, trance, technostuff. 2 songs finished. This is the first one. Started on this before christmas and finished it up today. It take`s more and more time for each new song I made. I think that maybe is a quality sign. This one`s really kicks!
So what brings the future: Really don`t know. I keep going on and making songs. I will hereafter use my real name, TS Engebretsen on everything I do. Thomsen is for insiders who know about me on this blog. Yes You! But I had a problem using so many alias. So from now on everything I do, photo, design, artwork will be signed by my real name in short. TS Engebretsen.

No-Man Part 2 by Thomsen

Second part of my No-Man. Still doing some experiment on my music. Getting into much more playing and sound mixing. This is somehow a little darker than my other material. But I think I`m touching my own expression now. By the way: It´s my 2 years anniversary when I started making music in Garage band. Now it is Logic and I think I´m getting a good progression after this 2 years, never touch a instrument in my hole life before. And now I´m doing this!

The Hunter by Thomsen

Here it is. A synthpop hardambient electronica stuff. This one is cool and I enjoy the lightness in it. Feel free to dance!

Orbit by Thomsen

Working hard these days. I have enough material for two cd-albums. One is finishing up soon, and will be the official debut Cd from me- Thomsen. This is the one that was mixed and produced by Anton Jawdokimov, during dec10-jan11. You can read all about it in this blog.
But the rest.... And the new ones.... Like this one - Orbit, I had to put them somewhere, so I decided last week that I should make another album that I mixed and produced by myself. For a digital release only. So thats why this is coming up.

And all this since I started about 14 months ago...
I´m proud of myself.
Soon to be released: 2 CD albums!!!!

Thomsen: Sunshine

Hjelp! Burde jo skaffet meg noe jobb og kroner om dagen, men i steden sitter jeg å lager musikk. Får meg ikke til å gjøre noe annet om dagen. Hjelp!!! Noen som trenger DJ, ekstrahjelp e.l. Siste låt er ihvertfall her. Jeg klarer ikke å stoppe. Musikk, musikk, musikk./
Help me. I can`t do anything but making music these days. I really should be looking for some work, and make some money. I can`t go on like this. Help! What to do? The only thing I´m thinking about is making music.
About this song:
A moody long chillout/ambient with rhytm. I did think of sunshine when I made this one. You can hear the sunshine, don`t you?
Genre is always a problem for me. Any idea what genre this one is?

Open Road by Tom Bretson

ıt´s a magical hypnotic ambient chillout song that i made yesterday. There is something to it, that is worth listening more than one time. But of course, I made this and I´m proud of Open road. Listen to the song on the post under here.
I`m am going to make a cd now, with help from friends. Probably release date will be in january 2011.
I also change my Dj Loco name to Tom Bretson. (Short for Tom Ståle Engebretsen) Better as an artist name I think. There will be another post coming up about this later.
The cover photo I took is from a place called Dal between Nesodden and Frogn.

Skogen (short version)

"Skogen" is norwegian for Forest. This is a Trip Hop song that I am proud of. It sounds good, and is maybe the best song from my "Musikkdager i Flatdal" There is also a long version of this song. A kind of long intro. Maybe for a concert in the future?!...

The Dream By Dj Loco

Tribute to Tangerine Dream. One of my early favorites. Proud that I actually composed and play all stuff here by myself. (except loop drums) Remember that i`m new into making music. 1 year now! Never touched any instrument before. Think this is going well. Dreaming of doing a really long melody, with this inspiration... It do sound like T-Dream?

Langt hjem by Dj Loco

New Release: Langt hjem

En litt Chillout inspirert låt. Noe mer intens. Men hør den under her. Kan lastes ned!

Er stolt av å ha laget denne, og er godt fornøyd med resultatet.
