Imphenzia

I finally got some time left over for some sequencing and I created this WARM LOOP for now - we'll see if it evolves into a full length track. Any comments on this? Boring? Good? Bad? Ugly? Nice? =) I'm trying to make up my own mind about it too.

Today I've been working on some new trance and creating some new trance drum banks. There are surprisingly few good drum kits out there for dedicated trance in my opinion and it's a bout time I created a new bank. I'll probably release the samples on the web site later.  I have also uploaded all my tracks in the lossless FLAC format to Tunecore, but I haven't yet paid the fees (about $50) to publish the tracks onto iTunes etc. I am currently investigating how much exposure this will actually give me as I have a feeling that 'unknown' artists such as Imphenzia will never see the light of day on a site such as iTunes due to poor functionality for filtering and displaying music etc. I'll probably still test this method on the album Illusion just to see what the effect is.

Today I received an e-mail from a listener at Soundclick who mentioned TuneCore.com - a site that I've just signed up with Imphenzia. This will enable me to get tracks and albums into iTunes and similar sites so it'll be interesting to see if Imphenzia get get a footprint there. I have yet to create the albums and upload the tracks but I'll keep you posted. Thanks to Joel from the psy label  psypneumatix for this tip!

Been very busy the past couple of weeks so not much to report on the Imphenzia front. But have a look at this fan-video of State of Confusion meanwhile :)

Been preoccupied with work related stuff and a total remake of our racing site ( www.nordicracing.net ) the past week so not much Imphenzia related stuff to report yet. The Nordic Racing site was created using Joomla 1.5.x - a great and free framework for creating websites with front- and back end. For anyone into wishing to develop a website quickly, I suggest having a look at this ( www.joomla.org ). The Nordic Racing site are using some really nifty (and also free) plugins, namely; Expose Flash Gallery - have a look at the Gallery section of the site, it features this Flash-gallery and it does an amazing job at easily allowing you to create albums, upload images that is automatically resized to desired sizes and adds a copyright text if you wish. The gallery is really smooth with fades and it allows you to play a slideshow as well. The backend is easy to use and batch uploading and renaming images is a doddle. Easy Guestbook - have a look at the simple Guestbook section - it...
