“Hier mein erster Versuch, dem Korg Kaossilator Klänge zu entlocken. Hab mich noch nicht ganz durchgehört, aus dem Grund sind ein paar Stellen konfus geraten. Entschuldigt meine hässlichen Finger.”
“This is my first attempt, the Korg Kaossilator to elicit sounds. Do I have not quite durchgehört, on the grounds are a few bodies being confused. Apologies my ugly finger.”

“Die Sounds von einem alten SK-1, veredelt mit Garage-Bands eigenen Effekten. Ein Roland S-330 sowie ein paar Apple-Loops sind auch vorhanden. Nicht zu vergessen den Korg Kaossilator. Trotz fehlendem MIDI-Sync läuft die kleine Tischhupe erstaunlich tight. enjoy!”
“The sounds of an old SK-1, finishing with garage bands own effects. A Roland S-330 and a few Apple Loops are also available. Not to forget the Korg Kaossilator. Despite missing MIDI Sync runs a small table horn surprisingly tight. Enjoy!”

So, since my last post about the Korg Kaossilator and the short demo track I finished, there has been a full-length album put up for free that uses only the Korg Kaossilator (and Ableton Live for recording).

You can download for free it here:

For those of you that don’t know the whole story; this is a remix of this awesome Youtube gem out of Atlanta:

I knew I wanted to remix this the minute I heard it. Getcha breeze card…

I play in a metal band… We like to be loud, obnoxious, and cranking our mesa boogie dual rectifiers. With that said… sometimes after my ears bleed enough, I need to work on something a little less intense.

Here are two low-key ambient tracks I am working on for an upcoming art documentary:

Animus (polar)

Feel free to comment; these are works in progress…

Since most of my work in the last couple years has been devoted to this band, I wanted to drop one heavy mega-post of content to get it out of the way;

First of all, our 2006 release is available for free download on our website, www.fromexile.com. We recorded it with the great Anthony Stubelek at his studio in Bruswick, GA. It was an awesome experience and although the record is almost 2 years old now, we are still very proud of it.

Here are some live videos;

Here is a clip of an acoustic set we did for Home Park Fest 2007:

Currently, we are recording a follow up EP with Eyal Levi (DAATH, Arsis), due in Summer.

Here is an original remix of an instrumental track off Crushing Reality:

Download the mp3 of “Phantom (illumination)” here

I can’t wait to finish this next recording, as it is a significant progression musically from our old material… It is almost like an entirely new band.

Check the From Exile Myspace or join the From Exile mailing list for regular show updates.

Here is my entry to the radiohead remix contest:

Eric Guenther – Nude (plutoniumriot mix)

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

So; this is how it works -

Producers sell rappers beats. Someone sold Nas this beat, probably for thousands of dollars since Nas is such a big name with a budget to spend and a name to uphold… The dude is tough enough to talk shit about jay-z for shits sake. This video shows how deep the producer for “Hero” went into tweaking the synth hook…

Pretty lame that it takes 60 seconds and a stock synth preset that everyone with Native Instruments’ (very popular) Massive plug-in has to recreate a high-profile single… I think Nas is one of the better hip hop artists around, too bad that he got ripped off.. I would be embarrased, but, what do I know.
