Decision and some cover artwork

There will be just one remix edition, the one which I just yesterday finalized. In the end it felt pointless making a remix edition with zero beats. The material works so much better with strong beats. Easy decision in the end.

As a result the remix edition will be coming out sooner than I thought few days ago (as I was still thinking about the possible double remix edition). The release date is set for 2nd February ... 02 02 20 20. Fitting date for release having 20 pieces.

As usual, it's going to be distributed through cdbaby, which means it will be about a week or so and it's appearing into Spotify, Youtube etc services for streaming. I'll write about it here when it's coming.

Oh. Wanna see the cover artwork for the remix which will be called 'Three thirds (stripped chips remix)' ... ? Check out the cover art below. Click pictures to see them bigger.

Remix package in the works

I've been doing a remix edition of 'Three thirds' release since beginning of 2020, just haven't bothered writing about it here on a daily basis. I had this idea for remix package already few months ago, and there's funny twist to the idea (like it wouldn't always go like this, hah) ... depending on how it feels, the remix package might be a "double remix edition". Or then not. What is sure, is that there will be this remix version I'm working currently. All the 20 songs will be remixed into certain style. What style is it then?

It's like return to the debut release 'Yksi' (2017) in the way that there will be only the chiptune bases and simplistic drumworks around them. While on debut release it was purely techno style drumbeats and very simple stuff, it's ... well, it's quite a lot like that on this remix package too, but not just techno, some variation and bridges to the actual 'Three thirds' release.

This remix package is already at the mixing & mastering stage. All the 20 songs have been worked, all the basslines, guitars, guitarsolos, sound effects and original drumbeats of 'Three thirds' have been dropped off and I've reworked different (very much simplified) drumbeats to the songs. The songs feel quite different now, which was the original idea of this remix, too.

Anyway, remix release is on it's way and it might be out already during February or March 2020.

Music video!

Just released a music video for 'Three thirds eleven' tune. Feel free to chip it out. :)
