27 DEC 2018 · In this episode we ask four DIY musicians about how to approach the distribution of your musical content, whether ablums are dead because of EP and singles and what is the role of labels and label deals when it come do DIY musicianship. Our guests in order of appearences are: Noemi Terrasi (Italy) Noemi is a young guitar player and composer from Italy, mainly a Rock Guitar Player with influences from Progressive music. Inspired from many different styles like Prog Metal, Fusion, Electronic and Ambient music. Currently she's studying electric guitar and music production at UWS, meanwhile she started her Solo project as Indipendent musician and released her first instrumental EP. You can find Noemi here: https://noemiterrasi.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NoemiTerrasiMusic/ https://www.instagram.com/noemi.terrasi/ The producer of her Black Seagull EP, Vincenzo Avallone, is here https://www.facebook.com/DeepWaterRecordings/ Robin van Casele (Belgium) Robin is the guitar player of Ethernal Breath. Eternal Breath was founded in 1996 by Andy & Marino in Wielsbeke (Belgium) aiming to combine traditional and new styles of metal in one sound. During that time 3 demo cd's, "Empire of Eternity" (1997), "Symphony of Agony" (2002), and "Welcome To Hell" (2006) got released. After many line-up changes, a consistent line-up took form in 2015 with Andy on vocals, Marino and Robin on guitars, Aaron on bass and Kenny on drums. In 2016 after 20 years, the first full cd, "The Joker", got released. It featured a change in sound from the earlier demo cd's, bringing a new mix of an epic heavy metal and a modern fast thrash metal approach, inspired by the likes of Judas Priest and Exodus. The album got praise for its melodic vibes, powerful vocals and philosophical lyrics. The release of the aptly named beer “The Joker” (8,5%, wheat beer with coriander flavouring) soon followed. Aside from numerous shows in Belgium, the album brought Eternal Breath to the UK for several gigs and had the band join Tim Rippers Owens’ The Three Tremors as a support for their European tour. May 2019 will feature the release of Eternal Breath’s second full-length album and more touring in Europe.

He also plays the guitar (yes, even classical guitar) and provides loads of shocked guitar players the chance to grasp what goes on at the Freak Guitar Camp... Honestly, summing up Linus/Mr. Gul/The Transcribing Ninja in a few words is damn difficult. In fact it took me to episodes to start scratching the surface: https://www.spreaker.com/user/10605455/linus-1-before-getting-personal-27-8-18 https://www.spreaker.com/user/10605455/linus-p2-ttip See also: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrGul https://www.facebook.com/linus.abrahamson https://open.spotify.com/album/3Ym5klK88egCALyRBEe26R The jab-jab book is the following: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17383989-jab-jab-jab-right-hook?from_search=true&fbclid=IwAR0pi8wq8KBQ6EEn7FXwyIdNaNgEAtZ1iXdzvldy2zKJqn_5aqjpzGznq-E The Joker beer mentioned by Robin is https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/1926230390729858/?rid=ee.mid.%24cAAAAAFF0og5t87cJXlnwnHAvLLDR&ad_id&rt=1 Ola Englund's "funaral to albums" is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIe-mQh9jDY

27 OCT 2018 · Time to grow up and talk pedals, effects, former session musicianship (as a drummer!) and work life balance. Tom Jepson - now a designer - will be our guide through all this. And more, like: affinities and differencies between designing and music, studio performance vs. life performance, etc. And, yes, if you are in guitar-centered ambient music you should check his waves project here: https://soundcloud.com/tom-jepson/sets/waves A little bit more formally: "Tom Jepson is multi-instrumentalist and designer living in Nottingham in the UK. Performing under his own name - and also the banner ‘Waves’ - he performs live, semi-improved ambient music with veins of melancholy and nostalgia running through it. Along with being a family man, Tom’s a coffee devotee and tattoo enthusiast in his spare time". Be sure to follow Tom as @thepixelgrid both on Instagram and Twitter (his book recommendations are the best): https://twitter.com/thepixelgrid https://www.instagram.com/thepixelgrid/

27 SEP 2018 · Linus does that again. After the general who are you, what brought yoou here and discussion about transcribing and session things gets personal. His music. His bands. Touring stories and the story besides "Two sides of me". We're gonna hear how music can be cathartic. And - probably my favourite - Linus will tell us about how limitations (in budget, knowledge of audio engineering and gears) can help you find new ways. I've really found Linus's mention of embracing an even more synthetic sound really helpful.

27 AUG 2018 · Want to know how to transcribe Freak Kitchen's stuff, play a 7 strings bass and build a solid teaching and session career? Then, Linus Abrahamson is your man! He knows so much and loves what he does that, once we start talking, the thing went overboard (such as a wholly unexpected discussion on Symphony X, Thomas Miller, John Myung and different bass tones). So I had to split the episodes. Next time we'll dig into touring and creating a wonderful two part album half raging electric and half acoustic.
