I've taken some time off from the recording process, to work with my friend Edith Fabritius Tvede who provoded vocals on both 'Anyway' and 'The Dual Resonance Model'.
Edith is not really a musician, but a talented filmmaker, and this weekend I served as runner as she shot the final scenes for her forthcoming film 'Out of Season'.

Filming at Zentropa 1

The filming was done in a large studio at Zentropa, the base of Lars von Trier, and featured a 6 by 6 metres green screen.
I can't reveal the plot, but it will premiere soon.

Filming at Zentropa 2

As the night fell the other evening, we had a very special guest. A stork decided that our rooftop was a cosy place...

A welcome guest

Work in progress... and it's progressing well. I've written all the lyrics for the album now, which is always the last thing I do.
I know a lot of musicians who thinks my way of working is odd. I guess they write the lyrics as they strum along at the very first stages of a song. That's not my way. I have tried it, but it has only worked for me on rare occations (The Noise from Constructions). My way is to do an entire instrumental production, and then move on to writing lyrics. It may be odd, but it works for me. And now that stage is done too.
I'm not through recording though...

Anders by the mic screen

Long time collaborator Anders Brandt came by the provisional studio the other day to provide vocals for the album. He also brought his black Les Paul guitar and did a very beautiful solo for the closing track.

Work is progressing well...
