Hi,
As you should know, I am creating music for free. My work is published under a creative commons license, it's free for everybody, you can use it as you wish, I'm only asking to name me as being the artist.
I'm doing electronic, mostly ambient music in order to recreate feelings, moods or to tell a story. Doing a song for the Rust Factory was a great experience.
The Rust Factory
If you like my music you can support me in many ways. You can still support me on Jamendo (even though I will not publish new albums on it), or if you download my latest album "Wormhole" on bandcamp, you can do it for free or even pay the amount you want to.
I am currently working on a new album, so stay alert! I'm coming back :)

Eclipser 1
In November 2012 some scientists had the idea to send a camera on a balloon at an altitude of 25 kilometers to the stratosphere during a total solar eclipse. They weren't interested at the moon or the sun but at the shadow the moon drew on the earth. The eclipse could be seen on the south pacific, from Australia to South-America.
They caught beautiful images of the shadow disc.
Why am I posting this? Except that I'm fascinated by science, just listen to the music.

Electro from Dusseldorf : Lars Leonhard
I recently discovered this great artist from Germany (Düsseldorf).

This is nice good electronic music. He recently composed the song Thunderbolt (available on bandcamp) for Nasa videos:
Now there is a new video online:

Get Lucky and Random Access Memories
Finally Daft Punk are back, with a promising album.
For their new album, rather than using samples from famous artists, they got the artits to play for them (Except for the last track "Contact"). Apparently they worked on the album since 2008 but were not satisfied as it was still based on sythezisers. So they gathered some people to play their stuff. And not just anybody. First there is Nile Rodgers, the co-founder of the famous band "Chic". His basslines were always great, no wonder the Sugarhill Gang used his line from "Good Times" for their "Rapper's Delight" (that song was the first hip hop / rap song to enter the charts)
There is also the record producer Giorgio Moroder. I might say that he really influenced the dance genre during the disco era since his productions with Donna Summer (for example "Love to Love you Baby").
Then there is Pharrell Williams, I knew less, yet he is a successful producer and singer (and apparently fashion designer), Julian Casablancas, frontman of he Strokes, Noah Benjamin Lennox, known as Panda Bear, founder of Animal Collective, song writer Paul Williams and producer Todd Edwards.
The released single "Get lucky" is already in the top charts:
Some say that they brought back the soul of music, and that it will maybe mark a change in music, "Back to the instruments". For Daft Punk it will certainly be remembered as a milestone in their career.
I also like the retro-artwork. Since I saw the title it triggered a memory, but I was not quite sure where i saw that kind of writing.
But then I tumbled on the following image:
Yes, they did it. (Is Guy-Manuel pretending to become the next king of pop?)
We will have to be patient for a couple of weeks until we can listen to the full album.

I did a cover
I'm sorry I neglected my blog for some time. But that doesn't mean that I did nothing. In fact I'm already looking forward for a new album, I already have some almost finished tracks (and some random stuff I still don't know what to do about), even if I'm still not sure where I'm heading...
I'm lately having fun "singing". Well, the brackets are there because I can't sing very well, so I'm using a Vocoder. I shouldn't say "singing", "using my voice in music" may be better instead.
My first try was a cover I did a few months back. I rewrote the song "Something about us" from Daft Punk and added my voice. Positively surprised by the result I gave it my own touch by changing it a little bit.
I would be glad to hear some feedback. So, what you think about it?
Greetings,
Shamil Elvenheim
