So here we go with the promised sketches, all done with a simple, black ink pen on printer paper. And as you can see (if you click the “More” link): Wicked stuff all over the place! Fat toad person without head eating at you! Frog man without arms! Embryo faced body with a penis! Altogether nothing for a delicate person … Continue reading
Two days ago we got us some wood, color, angle brackets, waste amounts of screws and a rasp. The goal: Building a table, instead of doing it the capitalist way and buying a capitalist one. And we thought it to be mighty more interesting than just rushing into the next IKEA and grabbing there the default stuff. And we did it! We manufactured our own table: Beautiful as hell! Massive and heavy as an elephant! Wooden as the rain forest! … uh, as a tree, and painted it white as an eggshell! Now my whole room stinks of thinner harder than the worst chemical plant you can imagine. I swear, no joke! My windows are gaping wide open to improve the air quality, freezing me to death (outdoor temperature must be two degrees above 0°C). I hope I won’t have to wait ages for the thinner to evaporate … Arrrg!
But there a still plans for this fine table. First it needs a second layer of paint. Second we plan to carve interesting patterns into the surface and paint them red, red as blood, omg. I will finally put some new pictures on the blog when it’s done.
Update, 21.3., 03:01:
The second layer is finished and the dreadful scent about to vanish. Sketches for the motive we will paint onto the tabletop also have been done and will be published tomorrow. And I tell you: They’re the real wicked stuff!
I’ve discovered an older track of mine I made at a friend about a year ago, using his Reason 3.0 audio system. It has different features than Ableton’s Live, for example no .wav audio track support, but very mighty synths. Here’s the result:
Hope you like it! Anyway, I will not put it onto the upcoming Grub Brother album because it’s just to different, using no samples at all, but only synths and midi files.
This post should actually belong to the equipment page, but I post it here because it’s still news and stuff. So, here come the news, which are in fact older than one week, but delayed by the migration of my blog to another server and the provider-related mess coming along with it: I’ve bought a drum, rather a djembe. The former owner wasn’t really satisfied with its sounds telling me it was missing the “low vibrations”, and because I don’t bother if there is what he called so or not I handed him over 30 bucks and the djembe was mine. Now I just need to record a few good samples of it. But you (who are you?) can be sure it’ll appear in the next track. Probably. Joke, sure! Joke, I dunno. Just wait for it …
The new grubbrother.com main site development is still not finished due to problems with my provider and my databases. I hope I can do it in another week …
The Server is not running very stable right now, showing the “500 Internal Server Error” quite often. Dunno whats going on …
Edit:
Everything allright now. They fixed it. 
After some troubles with my provider (at this point I’m not sure wether I should recommend it or not) the migration of my old site seems to be almost done, the files and databases are moved, the configuration restored and broken links fixed. Mission accomplished!
