GIFT WEEK - day 5

This is irrevocably the fifth and last day of our gift week. Thanks to all of you who downloaded and listened/watched the stuff, we uploaded during the week.
All the uploaded material will remain on our sites, spaces and blogs – so be sure to tell the ones who missed out on the weeks drama: “Don’t worry.” ;)

The last gift, gift number 5, is a new video: an (almost) unplugged rearrangement of the song “Afsked Forkortet” from our debut album (“Fokus”). It is the kind of acoustic drum ‘n’ bass post-rocked improvisated pop that we’re really in to for the time being. The video starts of with three minutes of impro centered around our cornetist and violinist followed by the two verses of the song in a free and spontaneous atmosphere. The song ends in an explosion of vocalharmonies, heavy acoustic piano, bass and bombastic drums accompanied by massive trombone lines. Very nice.

To all you Danish people:
Kom til vores sidste koncert dette forår på Studenterhuset i Odense d. 29. maj kl. 20.00

GIFT WEEK - day 4

Today, on this beautiful fourth day of our gift week, we first and foremost celebrate filmmaker David Lynch for his enormous inspiration to the compositions written within the Epicentre framework. The suspense and spiritual mystique surrounding his works and the characters in them alongside with Angelo Badalementi’s intriguing scores has been one the mayor sources of compositional direction in the past years.
In its simplicity, we furthermore just enjoy watching his movies – and “Twin Peaks” of course.

As a tribute we have, during our winter/spring-tour, opened most of our concerts with a cover of one of the many fantastic songs he’s written for his films. “In heaven everything is fine” is sung by the lady in the radiator in Lynch’s first full-length movie “Eraserhead” – “a dream of dark and troubling things”.

Our gift for you on this day 4 is a FREE DOWNLOAD of our cover of “In heaven everything is fine” turning into “Osmose” LIVE from Vanløse Kulturhus on April 16th, 2009.

We are beginning to see the end of an amazing gift week.
Come back tomorrow for the grand finale – something spectacular!

GIFT WEEK - day 3

We are halfway with our gift week moving on from cosy unplugged acoustic music to ultra electronic arrangements of an already known song.
Today’s gift is the presentation and streaming-upload of songs from our debut album “Fokus”. Since traditional copyright protects our tracks from the album, hence the streaming only, we decided to upload TWO songs as compensation ;)

The songs are “Kibitzer” and “Selskab” – two great and very old compositions, which some people actually occasionally remember from back in the old days when we were a quartet (2005).

Selskab


Kibitzer


Enjoy!

Come back tomorrow – we promise another download! :)

GIFT WEEK - day 2

New dawn fades, and we are ready for day 2 in our gift week.
Yesterdays video-gift was long on the way since YouTube and Vimeo refused to upload high quality mov.-files. Finally we managed to overrule the laws of nature and get the video out in the open!

Day 2 presents the track “Angst i biler” (eng.: “Anxiety in cars”), known from the unplugged video we did in August ’08, in its original electronic form. This is a live-recording from Trinitatis Church in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March 31st – it was our opening song at the gig.
The sound on this recording is rather “bread and scrape” since we did the recording with only two tracks. But the idea of this gift is to present “Angst i biler” in its original form in the best suitable place for it: a grand church.

GIFT WEEK - day 1

Today we start our gift week on the Epicentre blogs and community networks and websites.
Every day throughout this week, we will give you a gift; it’s our way of presenting new material and old material reformed – and our way of saying a million thanks to all of our listeners and all the people who have supported us and come to our concerts. We love you! :)

Here on day 1 we are proud to give you a new video of a new song called “Små Partikler” (in English: “Minor Particles”) in an unplugged version for acoustic guitar, double bass and vocals. The original version of the song is tech-like fast and groovy pop – this unplugged version was just a fast idea we had one day when the weather was sunny and we we’re feeling all right!

insomnia, ver. 10

data everywhere, thoughts scattered on the table, concerns about something in a couple of weeks. orderdisorder & checking mindless internet timewasting bullshit. at this point in the evening/night it strikes and suddenly inspiration and broadness of mind increase, and I find myself not printing anything through, not connecting any loose ends.
going to see murcof next friday - that'll be nice.

thinking about sleeping. not going to. not yet, not now. looking forward to getting those videos done and a lot of other things also.

- anders

the tour is halfway. also, we have some new stuff coming...

hi,

this blog is on of the least updated on blogspot, i think - it will get better, we promise.




our winter/spring tour is halfway now, a little more actually. next stop is tomorrow at Vanløse Kulturhus (at 8 pm). this concert will feature Christian Feldfoss as our sound engineer - Christian Feldfoss normally works and travels with Efterklang on their tours, so we are very honoured to have him with us.
this concert will hopefully be recorded (with a little luck).











these are pictures for you; some are from our tour, some are from some recordings we did saturday - we shot two new videos that day presenting a new and an old song in weird versions. stay tuned.

good times

a lot of good things happened in feburary.

when malte came home from switzerland, we rehearsed like hell to get ready for our mini-tour in the middle of Feburary with 3 concerts in Jutland.
that tour-week was simply incredible - we became a rutine-based touring band for the first time ever. it was fantastic to experience the calmness, coolness and casualness (is that even a word?) of my fellow bandcolleauges. they were amazing and played AMAZING on stage. we pulled of three mindblowing concerts - a listeners-based concert at Klejtrup Efterskole and to massive, rave-like concerts in Århus and Silkeborg, receiving great support from the audiences... wow. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you all.

furthermore, esben played a great debut-gig with his soloproject in Århus in Feburary, emil and his brother has been chosen for a danish "carreer-competition" called "Karriere Kanonen", and i'm composing the score for a fabulous short film made by tilde juul, malte has returned from switzerland and andreas and christine are not far from graduating. wow.

a lot of good things happened, and a lot of good things are to come.
our next concerts is at Femmøller Efterskole and the Trinitatis Church in Copenhagen - the church-gig will be extra interesting, because of the special acoustics a large stonechurche gives. we will play some of our songs a little differently.


thank you.

the first ringwraith of the padaung tribe, burma.

also, that same evening, before having encountered the creature above, esben said the following (about one of the new songs): "Playing this song is like joggling with your head..." Then, a rethorical pause followed by: "... well, sometimes you get it right - and it's great."

Die Schweiz

Hi everyone,
this is Malte writing.

Since new year I have been in Basel, Switzerland visiting my sister and her family, part time vacation and part time looking after my nephew. So far it has been great and such a thing as fresh mountain air is being fully enjoyed!

Currently I am in Zürich for a few days and could probably stay here for a couple of weeks; a very open and quite 'warm' city. Definetly going back!

The last weeks I have been spending some of the late hours exploring the website last.fm, an online radio service where you 'compose' your own radio channel by giving information about some favorite artists or so. Then you are able to listen to these artists and some that are simliar, or you can browse through the site and add new artists to your growing library. So you may discover new songs by artists you know or new music, which has some qualities you might like.
I think it's an interesting concept and most of all a qualified replacement for mainstream radio. Check it out yourself!

I will be back in Denmark in febuary for our concert in Herning the 5th. Really looking foreward to that!

Hope you've all entered the new year with good will and excitement.


All the best from Schweiz

a new song, "Osmose"

hi everybody,

we are proud to present to you a new song called "Osmose" (in english: "Osmosis"). it's brand new, and we have been recording it during december, but the programming parts date a little further back.
the song is written and produced by Anders Bach.

? = "Osmose", recording sessions (this is pictureseries 4)

happy new year

... to all of you.

the first half of 2009 will for our part be booked with concerts in all of denmark, so check out our tour-dates to find out when we are playing in your town. we are really excited on playing live, and we are looking forward to meeting all of you friendly people out there who wants to hear us perform.

2008 was a year of promotion and establishment as a result of releasing "Fokus" in november 2007. we have busied ourselves with finding ways to perform newly written material, that in many ways mark a more distinct red thread in our sound, musical interaction and storm-of-ideas than ever before - because we love playing with eachother.

for epicentre the busy year of 2009 will be set into motion with a free download release of a brand new track called "Osmose" (in english: "Osmosis"). as you may have noticed by the pictures posted on this blog, we have been recording a lot in the some of the last weeks of december. christine will record some vocals and vocal-signal-processing on saturday, and then we're about ready to throw it out there on the world wide web. we hope you like it's dark, spacious entity.


thank you and we'll hope to see you in this beautiful year of opportunities, the year 2009.

- Anders
