Lyrics..

2011-06-15T03:49:00.000-07:00

You'll never win
No. I wont give in
I'm here to stay, so go away

A place divine
A world insane
Not like them, nor like you

Dream theater news

2011-06-01T08:14:00.000-07:00

For some time ago now, Dream Theater announced that Mike Mangini is their new drummer. I'm hoping that this will inspire to some new great songs, its been a bit stale now for a while.

Here are the drumset he used to record the new DT-album:

..a bit over the top, as it should be :)

A dying business model

2011-05-30T11:19:00.001-07:00

Today this model is dying I guess, its hard to survive as a record company. Can't say that I'm sorry for the record labels either, because they've had their years, taking more cash then they ever deserved. One could only say that it may be right, it may be a cleansing that we needed to do. To find more direct models that work for the striving artist.

The "cake" is getting smaller, people pay less for music these days, so record companies has to be removed from the equation, and the artist should get that bigger piece of cake.

Another collab with Ola!

2011-05-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

Hello,

Ola contacted me about vocals for another track last week, and it went rather fast. The melodies came right away and I think I finished the whole track in like 2-3 hours. Ola plays all instruments and has produced the track.

Have a listen:

Lyrics:

Coming Home

You have a way about you, it's hard to let you go
I miss you when you're gone, I'm all alone
It's hard to breathe without you, I'm barely hanging on
It's hard to be strong, Where I don't belong

How can I make things right, when we don't talk anymore
I tried so many times, I giving up

Take me to your heavens
With a smile
With a touch
Give me everything you got

When I'm coming home

I'm sorry
That we lost our step again
Down that same old road again, that we know too well, baby
But I can't help myself, I'm haunted by your smile
I loved what we once had, don't let go

I can't believe that we walk from this again
I guess we can't pretend anymore

Take me to your heavens
With a smile
With a touch
Give me everything you got

When I'm coming home

Major Music Updates

2011-05-03T01:42:00.000-07:00

Hello, its been a while. My main focus right now is to finish the point zero album, but in doing that I've gotten some request from friends to do some vocals and stuff like that, which is always fun of course.

So here we go, 4 new releases!

1. First we have a friend of mine thats called Ola, he wrote a maiden-ish song, which I did wrote lyrics for and created and sang the vocal melodies, the song is called Apathetic, you can listen to it here:

2. I just got to know that Stefan Wernborg has released his album on spotify and itunes. He asked me to "growl" on the end of a song on that album in the end of last year, so I did and it was fun, really like the tune, its epic. You can listen to "Then What" here:

http://open.spotify.com/track/2euI50pNTGw3viLukTsj3u

3. Last month I did a guitar solo for my friend Andreas Kornstad, the song is called Spiked, and its in a kind of Rammstein-esque style. Here's the link for that song:

4. Finally, but maybe the biggest news. The metal band that I sang for last year (cleans and growls), have now released their 5 song EP/Demo, the band is now called 'Disrupted I'.

The songs:

Flickering us

Fractals

Your Ember

Heal Me

Disagree

That's all for now. Next time it will probably be point zero-related :) ...now.. coffee and mixing continued..

Rock on!

Point zero - A little teaser!

2011-03-20T15:28:00.000-07:00

Hello,

We will release our first full length album during 2011. It's self produced, no help here :)

Here's a small audio teaser from the coming album:

Still work in progress. But it's getting there.

Point zero 2011 are:

Fredrik Lindberg - Guitars and Vocals <-- that's me.
Marcus Persson Lindqvist - Bass
Rickard Wallster - Drums

Keep on rockin'

Symphony X about to release a new one!

2011-03-11T15:48:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite bands Symphony X seems to be done with their new album 'Iconoclast'. They have played a couple of songs live already, and as always Sir Russel Allen (Vocals) rocks big time, one of the best rock singers out there.

So until the release, here is what I'm watching:

'You can't break me, you won't make me - Dehumanized'

Craig is a cool drummer

2011-03-04T03:13:00.000-08:00

MR BIG!!

2010-12-19T05:07:00.000-08:00

Twitter

2010-11-09T17:15:00.000-08:00

..yeah, I use twitter now as well. Mainly I got this account because I wanted to keep track of some bands that frequently use twitter for their news, but sometimes I write something useless there as well.. :) The three last tweets are presented in the right column of this blog.

Here's a direct link to my twitter page - Lindbergmusic@twitter

A lot of music in the making right now, I'll be right back...

Tired, need.. coffee.

2010-10-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

It's been a while...

2010-08-17T02:53:00.000-07:00

..summer feels like over. Work is piled up. Some updates for now..

I've finished mixing the album for Hoggez, the album is on its way to the company now that will make 300 copies of it. The album have a total of twelve songs and I have produced, mixed and played some extra instruments on it, a lot of guitar solos as well ;)

Håkan/Hogge seems well satisfied with the result, which is always a treat.

I don't know if you noticed but I have uploaded another song on my first page as well. -> www.lindbergmusic.se

On this song I work with two of my music colleagues - Tomas Barkman (eletronic drums, synths and backing vocals) and Andreás Kornstad (Singer). The song is called 'Shadowed Black', and I like how it turned out, thanks for the help guys!

More news and music coming soon, and I hope to keep the updates more fresh as well.

Seven - A new project

2010-07-13T06:22:00.001-07:00

Howdy,

I've been talking to a fellow musician (Tomas Barkman) for a long time about this project now, it feels like we share the same vision of what this could be. We have a few songs already, but they are still in a very early stages. Yesterday we started to look at what we had so far, and to see where to go from here.

The music will be heavy, electronic, ambient, industrial, dark and melodic. Pretty abstract, right? :)

I will post updates when we have travelled further into the project Seven.

MYSPACE (not much there yet though).

Wrote a song yesterday for this project, here's the lyrics:

Why?

Show me grace
Far from here
Don't you know
How far it's gone
A starlit place
Without disgrace
And without the shame
End of my rope

Set me free
and Burn my eyes
Rid my dreams
A witherd pulse
Hearts divine
With beats and rhyme
This heart of mine
Beating offset

Screams in heart and soul
Why the hell am I not
Claming back the throne
Why the hell I wonder

Scars in all of me
Why the hell am I not
Figthing back my ghost

No one cares
Nothing left
I don't mind
Cause I'm leavning
Turn your head
Look away
I'd destroy your world
With a glimpse of mine

Screams in heart and soul
Why the hell am I not
Claming back the throne
Why the hell I wonder

Scars in all of me
Why the hell am I not
Figthing back my ghost

Rock on /F

Chris Cornell - Scream

2010-07-12T11:21:00.000-07:00

I've always liked Chris Cornell, what a voice. His work with Timbaland is a bit different from previous Cornell stuff, but I like it. This is the title track as well as my favorite song of the album:

Dubbla Baskaggar - The Final Ride

2010-07-05T10:31:00.000-07:00

;)

Pain of Salvation - Sisters

2010-06-23T00:26:00.000-07:00

I really dig this song from the new Pain of Salvation album.

Amazing music - The Reign of Kindo

2010-06-18T13:35:00.000-07:00

'Found' this band on spotify yesterday and I've been listening ever since. They are soooo cool. Amazing sound and musicianship. I was blown away. Later on I googled the band and found this youtube-video:

Hårgalåten/Horgalåten

2010-06-10T02:21:00.000-07:00

Here's my version of the Swedish classic song 'Hårgalåten', it will fit perfectly to the midsummer snaps and festivities I assure you :) Couldn't help to make it 'mine' either, so there's a bit going on in the song. Hope you like it anyways.

It was recorded yesterday, added the video today. Found some Swedish people dancing on youtube, credits are found on youtube. I tried to 'time' the dancing to the music, it was hard, but I think I got close, the video is 30% slower in speed than the original.

You've Been Done Before

2010-05-31T06:17:00.000-07:00

I been messing around with a song that's been stuck on my harddrive for a while now and I think it will fit Point zero, so I'm bringing it to the point zero rehearsal on wednesday to see what the guys think, and to see how it works out in a rockified state.

So.. the song is a bit odd, but I like that. It starts out in a pop/rock-Dave Matthews kind of style, with a simple three chord progression and a simple riff. Then in the middle of the song it visits a middle-eastern vibe and stays there for a while, then returning in joint forces for a last chorus.

Here's the current draft of my lyrics, might change as we rock on:

You've been done before

I try to make your world as mine
The world around has changed your sound
I try to change the course of time
Extract my flaws and extract my heart

It's hard to face it all, alone, astray and out of place
It will only bitter you..

Your sound is strange even in surround
Your soul is pale even in high def

It's hard to face it all, alone, astray and out of place
It will only bitter you..

It's alright
Cause it's all been done before
It's all the same and it's alright
Cause it's all been done before
You've been done before

(I don't think that the expression 'bitter you' is correct in english grammar, but I call on my artistic freedom for that :) ).

Pro Tools with Devin Townsend

2010-05-23T13:05:00.000-07:00

2010-05-20T08:33:00.000-07:00

En liten pop/rock-låt vid namn "Tro Inte" ligger nu i spelaren på hemsidan -> Lindbergmusic.se

Text:

Tro inte (text och musik: F. Lindberg)

Allt som du sagt till mig
Allt som jag trodde var sant
Allt som du sa till mig
Allt som nu saknar substans
Hur kan du säga så?
som jag ej fanns
I en värld där jag saknar att någonting håller mig kvar

Nej, tro inte att jag stannar kvar
Nej, tro inte att jag ångrar mig
Nej, tro inte att jag stannar kvar
Här hos dig

Alla dom saker vi sagt
Lämnar ett spår
Saker du sagt som ekar
Helt utan sans
Vad kan jag säga dig
Jag lämnar allt
Nu har du fått mig ur balans

Ja, ta mig nu härifrån
Ja, ta mig långt bort från dom
Ja, ta mig nu härifrån, jag har fått nog

Who needs guitar and bass - Van Canto

I like the "guitars"... :)

Logix

2010-05-19T16:10:00.000-07:00

We had another point zero rehearsal today, our weekly wednesday jam. Actually we seem to start each rehearsal with a spontaneous jam and I must say that we're getting better at it by each time.

So.. lets see, what did we do today. We played 'Merry-Go-Round' for the first time in a long time, and it was a bit rusty in our memory. But it all ended well I'd say.

I got some time to look into the two point zero songs that I'm mixing this week as well (loooooong overdue, sry guys), and yesterday I wrote a solo for 'My Reason'. I have a hard time mixing big projects as this now, because my computer aint that high-end. Getting all kinds of error messages from time to time. CPU overload seems to be the most frequent one, to say that it drives me mad sometimes is an understatement...

I'm also looking into a guitar tone for PZ, it's hard.. But I will get there.

I'm also writing the orchestral arrangement for 'Unbeatable Foe', which is a main part in that one.

...some other projects are on the way as well, but I'll keep them to myself for now.

Happy Rockin'

RIP DIO

2010-05-17T00:51:00.001-07:00

The small guy with the amazing grand voice is no longer with us. I had the opportunity to see him live in Stockholm 2001 (I think it was). Rainbow, Sabbath (The Dio-era was always the best in my opinion), Heaven and Hell... all great music.

Amazing voice and an amazing legacy of music. Now he's jaming with Cozy Powell...

RIP

iRig - Guitar amplifier for your iPhone

2010-05-12T02:33:00.000-07:00

I liked this little gadget for your iPhone, giving your phone that rock appeal :)
IK Multimedia have done guitar simulation for some time now, and I like their plugins for DAWs (Amplitube 3). So I'm guessing that iRig will work great and from this video demo, I must say that it sounds alright as well. Now I'll just have to wait until they make guitars that are small like my phone :)

Tesseract - Renewing metal

2010-04-25T00:35:00.000-07:00

I've been listening to Tesseracts demo for some time now and I must say that this band feels like a breath of fresh air in the metal scene today. They have found their own sound, blending meshuggah-metal with atmosphere and melodies, its both heavy, angry and beautiful at the same time. I'm buying this album..

Rise and Shine - done!

2010-04-21T13:15:00.000-07:00

Rehearsal went rather fine today, we pretty much nailed our new song 'Rise and Shine'. So now we can add that track to our setlist :)

Point zero songs 2009-2010 so far (no specific order):

1. Ruin (intro)
2. The Ride
3. A Secret Place
3. Unbeatable Foe
4. My Reason
5. The Kings Hall
6. Equilibrium
7. Merry-Go-Round
8. Spring to Life
9. Keep it True
10. The Reckoning
11. Rest Assured
12. In the Wake of Followers
13. Dream of You
14. Rise and Shine

..many hard rockin' minutes of music!

Point zero rehearsal - Mackan the songwriter

2010-04-07T14:26:00.000-07:00

Just arrived home after an cool point zero rehearsal. I think it went rather well this evening, the guys rocked and it was fun playin', like it often is.

Anyhow, Mackan brought a song to the band today, his first. It rocked big time! We had a blast playin' it and we got a long way on arrangement and structure today, it worked out rather smoothly. He has also written lyrics for it, its called 'Rise and Shine'.

It will fit perfectly into the point zero song catalogue.

Frost* will also release a DVD this year, I'll surely buy it!

...take a sip of tea and enjoy the marvels that is FROST*

New lyrics - Shadowed Black

2010-03-31T04:24:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a new song (amongst all the other stuff). It will once again feature Andréas Kornstad on vocals and I have asked Tomas Barkman to add his touch on it.

I will post the song as its done, but here are the lyrics for now:

Shadowed Black

Malicious thoughts
Spreading like a plague
Infesting our homes
(and) Feasting on scorn

By your vicious grace
The world is an evil place
(and) Mankind lost its face
The world is an evil place

Scavengers align
Preys fall down
Recoil kicks back
My napalm embrace

By your vicious grace
The world is an evil place
(and) Mankind lost its face
The world is an evil place

Come take me now
You take me now
Come take me now
You take me now
Come take me now
You take me now

Fates Warning - Parallels lineup

2010-03-30T15:18:00.000-07:00

It seems like Fates warning have returned with their parallels lineup to play some shows this year. I own all Fates Warning albums and this lineup is my favourite, without the shadow of a doubt. Nice to see Mark Zonder behind the drums once more, and I could only hope for a new record with this lineup intact.

Fates Warning has written some really epic songs throughout their career. They are and will always be a great inspiration for me.

When Reality Bring Me Down - ft. Andréas Kornstad

2010-03-11T13:42:00.000-08:00

Time for a new song. Posted the lyrics here before. This song features Andréas Kornstad on vocals, and he did a remarkable job!

I written the music and lyrics.

The lyrics has been changed a bit since last time:

When Reality Bring You Down

Light greets my eyes
In these fiery skies
I can hear the bell toll at the end of the line
Time takes us all
Even those who don't deserve to fall
And all my remorse - the scars that remain

I choose not to follow you - I'll find my own way
She tells I'm lost - this world ain't for me
My world falls asunder - then I start to wonder
When reality brings YOU down

Dark greets my eyes
In these endless skies
I loose my dreams in this world of no hope
I bring you lies
Death and the bitterness in cries
All I can hear - the tales how it ends

I choose not to follow you - I'll find my own way
She tells I'm lost - this world ain't for me
My world falls asunder - then I start to wonder
When reality bring YOU down

The things I'm left with
The dreams that follow
My path, a way out of here - mmm
and I wont tell them
What I am feelin'
Afraid of what they would do - if you'd know me too

No, I won't go there
If you will be there
I know you don't care - if I make it here
The lies you're telling
The screams and yelling
No, I won't stand here and fight - Like you'd know me too

Pete Peterson - Bugz

2010-03-09T13:17:00.000-08:00

Howdy, slow on updates recently. Been sick and had a lot of work/projects/school. Had an exam last week that went well, even though I had fever. :)

I 'ran' across this cool project on the tube, that at least inspired me... The main dude is called Pete Peterson and he has teamed up with Travis Orbin (a great drummer) for this project, and the music sounds refreshing I must say. Strange stuff.

Zappa meets Devin Townsend.. or something.

Check it:

Scars - video

2010-02-17T01:29:00.000-08:00

This is a new project I've been working on. It features 'Tony Topp' on vocals, and me myself and I have done the rest :) I sing some bits as well. The song is called 'Scars' and Tony also did a video for the song. Enjoy!

Installing..

2010-02-08T06:15:00.001-08:00

Got a new harddrive yesterday for my sample libraries, so I started to copy data to it yesterday. Now I'm installing new libraries and as you can see, it takes time..

been at it since lunch..

Remix - Happy Song

2010-02-03T23:53:00.000-08:00

'Hogge' asked me to do a remix of his song 'Happy Song', yeah that song which I play a guitar solo on as well. I did the mix in just a few hours, I also re-did some of the drums. Listen to the two versions (and compare if you'd like):

The old mix:

My 're-mix' of the song:

stay rockin'

The evil snowy night of rehearsals

2010-01-27T13:39:00.000-08:00

...its snowing here in sweden...

....

...I took my bike from work to the rehearsal room for tonights point zero gig, and I was exhausted when I arrived, deep snow all the way. Not a jolly day to be carrying about mother nature. At some point I might have been yelling at the snow.. well, It seemed to be the right thing to when it was fighting me like this.

..anyways, we rehearsed the the new songs today and finely tuned the song 'The Reckoning', making it more groovy and flowing, hippie words.. I know. ;)

So now we have the following repertoire:

1. Ruin
2. The Ride
3. A Secret Place
3. Unbeatable Foe
4. My Reason
5. The Kings Hall
6. Equilibrium
7. Merry-Go-Round
8. Spring to Life
9. Keep it True
10. The Reckoning
11. Rest Assured
12. Dream of You

We're in it for the ride ;)

Hell yeah - PoS is back!

2010-01-22T01:16:00.000-08:00

Pain of salvation was my favorite band for a couple of year, I discovered them rather early in their career actually, with the 'concrete lake' album. I actually remember when I bought that album, I've heard so much good about this swedish band in the press so I just went out an bought it. When I got home and listen to it, I first felt like I had wasted my money on crap, yes for real. But then after several attempts something happened, I understood what they are about, I got used to Daniels singing as well. With some bands you just need some extra time...

That was then. After that album they released two amazing albums - 'Perfect Element pt 1' and 'Remedy Lane'. Two of my all time favorite albums actually. Such a inspiring sound, such a fresh sound and arrangement. A band with their own unique sound.

After 'Remedy' it went downhill though, Daniel seemed to get a bit of hubris and went political. The music lost the magic of the earlier records and I stopped listen to the band. Thinking that I will never hear any good music from these guys again.

Now they have recorded a new album, and I'm glad to say that I'm really psyched about it. The songs I've heard are really good and fresh. Like it was in their prime. They have a more raw-ish 70's sound on this album and I must say that I like it. I hope that the whole album sounds like this, their new video:

Point zero rehearsal - two new songs

2010-01-20T15:30:00.000-08:00

Hey,

We had a rehearsal today again with the band. We tried out two new songs:

-Wake of Followers
-Dream of You

'Wake of Followers' is a heavy track with an extended instrumental section that we all enjoy very much. 'Dream of you' is almost the opposite, a soft track with simple instrumentation. It seemed like the guys like these new songs, which of course made me a happy camper, you never know, right?

Anyhow, the rehearsal went smooth, and we had a nice time.

Altough Wall-e seemed to loose a couple of snares all the time, none of us know where they actually went. Its a mystery. Maybe they woke up today and felt like they HAD IT, that it was time to leave. Maybe they went next door and joined a quite popband, no one knows really.

So if you see a couple of snare hits that seem to be a bit out of place and alone, please call wall-e. It might be one of his rather tight ones...

Pre-Mixing Point zero

2010-01-18T13:24:00.000-08:00

Yes, today I actually started to organize all the drum tracks for 'my reason'. Even tried a few EQ settings and making buss channels for groups of tracks. So it will be easier to mix down the line.

When the pre-mixing of the drums and bass are done, I will start to record the guitars and arrange the orchestration.

More about this project during the coming week.

/F

Point zero - Bass recorded!

2010-01-16T15:40:00.000-08:00

Another session today with Point zero. Last time we did the drums, today it was Mackans time to record some kickass bass, which he did, in just a few hours. It went very well and we all got very satisfied with the result! Mackan rocks.

So now we have the drums and bass for the two songs, 'My Reason' and 'Unbeatable Foe'. AND now it's all up to me... to record guitars, mix, sing (!) and arrange keys/orchestrations for the two songs..

...but its all dear 'problems'...

Looking forward to getting these tracks down!

Until next time, rock your socks off!

Hogge - Uncle Sam

2010-01-11T00:09:00.001-08:00

Now you can listen to the finished track:

Hogge has written the track, plays guitars and sings. I'm just in it for the solo ;)

Rock on!

Point zero continued..

2010-01-11T00:09:00.000-08:00

Hojt!

We have started to tryout singers now with the band.

In parallel with the tryouts we will start recording bass for our two songs that we have already recorded drums for. The studio time is set for this coming weekend. So I need to prepare the tracks a bit until then. Hopefully we'll be able to finish these tracks pretty soon.

A short solo for 'Hogge'

2010-01-08T05:38:00.001-08:00

Helped a dude with a solo, the song is called 'Uncle Sam' and is written by 'Hogge'.

Listen to it:

Best of 2009 - According to me

2010-01-08T04:10:00.001-08:00

So.. now we've started the year 2010.. 2009 is no more. Last year I did a 'best of' for 2008, so I thought that I should make it a tradition. So here it goes, my nominees for the best 2009 releases.

Muse - The Resistance

Probably the album I've been listening to the most. A great album and one of their best ever, great songs that grow on you. Amazing production as well. The album sounds and feels fresh from start to finish!

The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted

Devin Townsend is a brilliant musician and producer and he always deliver good stuff. This album is easy, melodic, heavy, popish at the same time. The production is great as always and there is a lot of great songs on this album, that you'll hum a long to for a long time.

Mr Big - Live at Budokan

One of my favourite rock bands returned in 2009 - Mr Big. I missed their live show here in Sweden, but I hope I'll get another chance. Anyhow they released an live album, and it rocks!! The live sound is raw but its sounds just right for the band. Eric Martin (the singer) sounds a lot more mature and he surely has some problems with the higher stuff from back in the days, but that don't matter, they still rock like no other! I really like the new song 'Next Time Around' as well. Can I hope for a new studio album with these guys? ...that would be amazing, please? :)

Mew - No More Stories Are Told Today...

Besides having the longest album title ever, this is an amazing album from an amazing band. They take no safe trips here, they don't create music that's already been done. They are surely progressive, progressive pop. One of my favourite songs are 'Introducing Palace Players', which is oddly beautiful and unique. Great band, but I think it takes a few spins before you get into their strange music. I get very inspired when I listen to Mew. Don't miss out on this band!

Behemoth - Evangelion

The polish metal beast is back. Behemoth deliver one of their best, if not the best album to date. Raw, Brutal, Tight like no other. They have a organic flair to their sound that I really like, and the production is perfect for the band, simply amazing. Bruuuutal!

Freak Kitchen - Land of the Freaks

I've been listening to Freak Kitchen for many years now, but the first time I heard this album I didn't enjoy it that much really. Then after seeing them live I got really hooked, and now I can't stop listening to it. Cool hard-rock with a sense of humour and as always - amazing and original guitar playing.

Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King

Another old favorite band of mine - DMB, released one of their best albums this year. I really like their blend of instruments and groovy music. This album is filled with amazing songs all the way through and I have been listening to this album all year. One of the best during 2009 for sure.

Europe - Last Look at Eden

The first time I heard it I was not that impressed but now some of the songs has grown on me. I still think that the album is a bit uneven, but there are some really great song on this album as well. Cool that Europe is still going strong. Never seen them live actually, hope to do so soon!

Nile - Those Whom the Gods Detest

Another brutal metal album. Nile delivers brutality, Middle eastern atmosphere and musical tightness like no other band out there, hehe. Some of the songs are really catchy actually. Insane drumming as well. If you're into brutal metal, don't miss this cool release.

Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue

Alice in chains returned this year as well. A cool and dark album, thats been growing on me. Really like the atmosphere and sound on this album. Feels like we've been missing Alice in Chains. There is no band out there like em, really.

...thats my list for 2009.

Now I look forward towards a rich musical year of 2010!

Rock on!

DJ Earworm - Mashup of Top 25 Billboard Hits

2010-01-07T04:29:00.000-08:00

DJ Earworm have made a really cool mashup of the top 25 billboard hits last year, I really dig this. Must have taken some time to get it all together. Brilliant!

Balance Tanks - Music for a game

2009-12-30T09:13:00.002-08:00

I've been working on a couple of tracks for a computer game. The studio that develop this game is called Bebop studios and I'm in charge for writing the music for the game, the game is called Balance Tanks.

Here is a short video of the game (work in progress) and the music track that I've written is called "Tank em Down".

Enjoy!

Meeeeeeew!!

2009-12-30T09:13:00.001-08:00

Few bands suprise me today. It feels like i've heard every chord progression and rytmic pattern that's out there (exaggerated of course, but you get the feeling). Then bands like MEW come along. I really like this band, they have grown on me with their quirky strange progressive pop. Just check out their latest video:

This band inspires me, this band is interesting.

Mew Rocks!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T00:20:00.001-08:00

Dubbla Baskaggar - Trailer 2!

2009-12-18T14:52:00.001-08:00

Moving on

2009-12-04T08:52:00.000-08:00

I fill all my spare time with my projects, there will be some releases before the end of this year. I can feel thats its downhill now in some of my projects, I'm getting there.

Some updates then:

Lindberg Studios PROMO - Finished two more tracks this week - 'Rain' and 'Departure'. Now I have 18 tracks completed of 22 in total, and 2 of these last 4 are waiting for vocals and mix, so they are almost complete as well. Lovely!

Point zero - we had another rehearsal this week, we had a blast! Pure joy, and between each song we played it seemed like we always ended up in a nasty funk groove, hehe.

Also, their is a few guys that has contacted us about singing in the band, and we're talking with these guys now. So we'll see. We're exited again anyways.

Dubbla Baskaggar - I just posted a promo-trailer for this project below this entry, it's a new metal project and all the music is almost done there as well. I won't give away the members of the band, I think we'll go under cool aliases instead. :)

Like I told you earlier, I'm also working on music for a game. The music should be DONE next week. There's two songs for this project right now, I don't know if there will be a need of more tracks as the project evolves. It looks like a cool game anyway. I'll keep you updated on this as well, of course.

Also I written another christmas song. I hope I'll be able to release a few christmas tunes before christmas 2009 starts!

Hold your horses!

Dubbla Baskaggar - Weapons are made of metal, not pop - trailer

2009-12-04T06:41:00.000-08:00

Many projects at the same time

2009-11-27T13:12:00.000-08:00

Music, music, music..

Finished mixing the track 'Terminal' today, its also for my promo. It's a moody and dark track.

I have also produced some dance/club tracks, and I have started a colab with a singer for these tracks. More about this later!

Finally I wrote a christmas song, my first ever. It's a poppy jazzy strange little song with a few surprises. It's pretty rough mixed right now, I will mix it more properly on sunday. Maybe it will be on a annual christmas CD from kontrollrummet.com. If I can get it good enough by tuesday.

I'm also working on the music for a game in development. This will be my main focus during the coming week. Probably I'll help em out with sound effects as well.

That's all for now. Tomorrow evening I'm going with my friend - wall-E, to see Freak Kitchen and two supporting acts. Maybe I'll shoot some photos to share from the event.

See ya'll!

Singer wanted!

2009-11-26T07:56:00.001-08:00

Sadly, our friend and long time rocker Johan has now decided to leave the point zero-building, he don't have the time to put into the band anymore. No hard feelings at all. We hope that the rock will return to Johan someday, but in the meantime..

We need to find a new singer! ..and boy, its not an easy thing to do!

So if you got any tips, or if you want to apply for this rockin' job, please send me a note:

info@lindbergmusic.se

This also means that the album will be postponed until we got a full band again, hopefully early 2010!

Surviving Horror Movies - The Manual

2009-11-24T14:23:00.000-08:00

We had another music 'festival' over at the studio forum (swedish music board). This time the theme was HORROR, and you were supposed to write music that would frighten the listener. I wanted to participate but I did it with my own spin of things, I wrote a popish/musical song with a horror theme and the lyrics addressed typical situations in standard horror movies. The song ended up in the middle of the list somewhere, but I got some really nice reviews on it though.

The session was a bit rushed when recording this song, so I want to revisit it sometime, to satisfy my vision for it :D

Try it!

Music:

Lyrics:

Surviving Horror Movies - The Manual

I'm frightened, frightened, are they coming to get me?

Now I try to run away

I trip and fall like the others

The guy in mask walk real fast

He will get a hold of me

I have no chance he'll surprise me

When I feel the urge to be alone

I'm frightened, frightened, are they coming to get me?

No, I don't suspect that guy

He's to damn obvious

It could be anyone

When I hear a sound at night

I Don't go and find it out

I know it ain't just my cat

I would never run away like them others

I don't need to be alone like them others

My song featured in a frag movie

2009-11-22T15:43:00.000-08:00

My song 'State of solace', that is featured on my upcoming promo, is now featured in a frag movie. In the end of the movie during the ending credits.

You can check the video here if you'd like!

(frag movie = a movie where some guys show their skill in killing other guys in a computer game. The game featured in this video is 'Tactical Ops' which I actually played a few years back).

Lindberg Studios Promo, continued

2009-11-21T15:18:00.000-08:00

Worked on 'when reality bring you down' today. Its close to done, finally. I mailed it to two singers today, I hope both of them will deliver their version of it. Got the idea of making two or three different versions of the song. Maybe even different remixes of it. I'll see what happens, at least I need to get one working version to begin with. I have a version with me singing, but I wanted another voice on it as well, it would give a better diversity to the promo later. Anyhow.. I'll try to finish the rest of the tracks for the promo this coming week. Soon...

Dream theater - wither

2009-11-18T08:17:00.000-08:00

Dream Theater release their video for the new track 'Wither'. The song is about writer's block. Cool video!

When Reality Bring Me Down

2009-11-12T08:39:00.002-08:00

...I just finished (I think) the lyrics for 'When Reality Bring Me Down'. A somewhat greyish view on reality :) Anyways, here it is..

When Reality Bring Me Down

Light greets my eyes
In these fiery skies
I can hear the bell toll at the end of the line
Time takes us all
Even those who don't deserve to fall
And all my remorse - the scars the remain

I choose not to follow you - I'll find my own way
She tells I'm lost - this world ain't for me
Then worlds fall asunder - and I start to wonder
When reality bring me down

Dark greets my eyes
In these endless skies
I loose my dreams in this world of no hope
I bring you lies
Death and the bitterness in cries
All I can hear - the theme of the end

I choose not to follow you - I'll find my own way
She tells I'm lost - this world ain't for me
Then worlds fall asunder - and I start to wonder
When reality bring me down

The things I'm left with
The dreams that follow
My path, a way out of here
and I wont tell them
What I am feelin'
Afraid of what they would do - if you know me too

No I won't go there
If you will be there
I know you don't care - if I make it here
The lies you're telling
The screams and yelling
No, I won't stand here and fight - Like you know me too

Lindberg Studios Promo

2009-11-12T08:39:00.001-08:00

Will it ever be finished? :)

I actually thought this one would have been finished around christmas 2008, but its still in the making. To my defense the number of songs have increased and its clear that that deadline was way to optimistic. But now I'm getting closer, fifteen songs have been finished and seven are left. So now I feel that its time to push this one.. to drag it over the finish line and get it 'out of my system', once and for all.

I started setting up a few deadlines now and have contacted singers for some of the songs that are left. My main focus are on these four songs for now: lost in space, you, terminal and when reality brings you down. If I get these tracks finished, I'm almost there.

I recorded most of the music for the track you today. It just needs to get proper guitars and vocals before I mix it.

The optimistic freddy says the promo will be done in the end of November, the realistic freddy says that it will probably get done before the end of 2009, it must. At least for my sanity.

Back to the studio before nightynighty.. :)

Every Little You

2009-11-12T08:39:00.000-08:00

Worked on a little melodic 'mainstream' rocker today. The music and lyrics were written earlier, but now I've started to record and arrange it. I will post it as soon as it's finished. The lyrics:

Every little you

Every little thing that turned to memories
Every little touch and every shared dream
Now that I'm awake I wonder what you do
Now that I'm here I wonder where you are

And I'm lost without you
Can't believe we are through
Say what else I could do love
But to say I love you

Every little talk and pointless bickoring
Every wish that you would understand
Every little you that live in my memories
Every little drop that pours out in my sand

And I'm lost without you
Can't believe We are through
Say what else I could do
With these words I leave you

Found out the hard way that you're ending this (you're ending this)
Can't believe we walk from this as enemies (as enemies)

And I'm lost without you
Can't believe We are through
Say what else I could do
With these words I leave you

I'll be back..

Work

2009-10-31T13:46:00.000-07:00

Happy halloweeeeeen to ya!

Some minor news from the passed week:

I got contacted this week about a game project. I will make the music (maybe sound effects as well) for a game that will be featured in a few gaming contests next year. Still work in progress, but I wanted to mention it here, more about this as it progress.

Also, bass recordings with pz has been somewhat delayed, we were supposed to record this weekend, but we'll fix it the coming week instead. No problemo.

Drums recorded!

2009-10-25T18:37:00.000-07:00

It's official, our drummer rocks! Walle you ROCK!

You can almost see how much he rocks on this image:

The weekend went well. We focused on nailing the drums for 'my reason' during saturday evening and it went pretty well, we did a few takes on it and finally got a take that worked for us. We had some time left and did a few takes on 'Unbeatable Foe', which is the other song we recorded drums for this weekend. Walle rocked but we all felt a bit tired and decided to nail the last song on sunday.

On sunday we got to the studio with a bit more confident and Walle played amazing all through. He played with a lot of soul and feel on 'unbeatable foe'. I think it was the second take on that song or something, he was surely in the zone. :D

After that we listened to the recording of 'my reason' from the previous day, and we decided to do try another take on that song as well. Glad we did! It was even better this time around. Walle played like he was on fire :) ..and I must say that this guy POUNDS his drums, I almost felt a bit sorry for the drums after a while.

There's actually only one word that sum up Walle's performance - ROCK!

This coming weekend we'll aim to record the bass for these two songs.

Now I'm tired, my head needs some sleep...

Drums in place and mic'ed

2009-10-23T14:12:00.000-07:00

Tested out a couple of setups for the drums today. We got a clean and nice sound, natural but still with the punch we need. We used 9 mics today, and we'll add one more tomorrow before we start recording. We realized that we probably need to use two mics on the snare. We'll at least try it.

The setup looks like this:

-Electrovoice N/D868 for the bass drum.
-Shure SM57 and SM58 for the snare.
-One mic for each tom (4 toms and 4 mics total, cant remember what model).
-Two CM3 mics for A/B overhead.
-SP B1 as a room mic.

We'll continue checking some stuff tomorrow and then we'll start recording 'My Reason' tomorrow evening, fingers crossed.

Keep rockin'

First evening of recording!

2009-10-23T08:03:00.000-07:00

So now its time. Time to rock. Or in the words of Joey Tempest:

"Rock me like you never done before
Then rock me just a little bit more"

We'll start drum recordings TODAY! Or at least we'll spend the friday evening setting things up. A lot of drum gear to manage and I'll get my studio gear over to our rehearsal place, where we'll set up a temp studio for the drum recording. We'll use 8-10 mics on the drumset. I'll tell you more about the setup later on.

Walle will pick me up in his shiny rockin' Seat Ibiza soon, I'm just waiting.. and drinkin' some coffee.. not enough coffee today i'd say. But I'm working on that as well.

I'll try to get some pictures on the setup tonight as well.

SEEE YA!

No One Left

2009-10-19T13:10:00.000-07:00

Here's a song that I wrote with my friend Marcus - who's also the eminent bassplayer in Point zero! I wrote the music and melodies, Mackan wrote all the lyrics. He writes amazing lyrics and works really fast! :) You rock mackis!

Anyway, here it is:

The lyrics:

No one left

Music: Fredrik Lindberg
Lyrics: Marcus Persson Lindqvist

Captured straydog in a cage
Born dirty, born old age
Seeking an escape
Even from you

No one left
There is no one left
Once again, it is easier that way

No one left
There is no one left
Not even you, could make him stay

Captured straydog free again
Roaming lonely with his pain
Wondering why again
(The cold lands and) not you?

No one left
There is no one left
Once again, it is easier that way

No one left
There is no one left
Not even you, could make him stay

No one left
There is no one left
Once again, well its easier that way

No one left
There is no one left
Not even you, could make me stay

No one left...

The week of drums!

2009-10-18T10:38:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow we start! First day of testing mics for the drums for the coming point zero recording. We'll try a couple of BD mics tomorrow to see which one we prefer - sound-wise. We have booked Friday-Monday this coming weekend for the actual recording. Exciting..

ROCK!

Rub al-Khali

2009-10-16T02:23:00.000-07:00

Finished another track today, it's called 'Rub al-Khali', which is an desert located mainly in Saudi Arabia. It's the greatest desert on earth and one of the most climate hostile places on earth. I got inspired by reading about it, the name 'Rub al-Khali' means, loosely translated - 'empty space', or something like that.

The music is of course middle eastern inspired and has that desert-flair. :)

I'll upload all of the songs for my promo later on. Until then, keep on rockin' and have a lovely friday.

/F

Dagens citat

2009-10-14T16:25:00.000-07:00

"Det går i motsatt håll mot groovet och det går inte att räkna"

- Detta sa en något trött Mackan till mig under dagens rep :)

Hoppas jag citerade rätt, men det var något åt det hållet iaf. Mackan? Du kan väl rätta mig om jag citerade dig fel. Kul var det!

/F

Point zero - It's time

2009-10-14T14:54:00.000-07:00

Now it's time. Time to start recordings with point zero, finally. We had an rehearsal today and it feels like we're ready, like we've played the songs enough and that we need to move on, and we will. Next week we'll enter the studio with point zero, to record the first couple of tracks. Starting tuesday, as it seems now. I'll post updates and progress reports here.

We'll start with the two tracks 'Unbeatable Foe' and 'My Reason', and if everything goes smoothly we'll probably continue on with the rest of the set.

It will be a couple of rough, fun, rockin' weeks, I'm sure!

Exciting times!

Stay rockin'

Lindbergmusic.se - Music for games and media

2009-10-12T00:02:00.000-07:00

I'm about to finish the last couple of songs for this promo. It's a promo that I will send to the business in hope of making contacts in the industry. I have a wide palette styles featured on this promo, but they all have in common that they could be applied to any kind of media, that's at least what I had in mind writing them. But if you dig this kind of music you probably could also enjoy it as an album of songs.

These are the completed songs at this stage:

01 - Breathless Sleep
02 - Bring Them Home
03 - Collision
04 - Core Enigma
05 - Extreme Conditions
06 - Grand Design
07 - Imperium
08 - No One Left
09 - No You in Me
10 - Pathfinder
11 - Something From Nothing
12 - State of Solace
13 - Warstorm
14 - Will Versus Exhaustion

..and the songs that are in the making:

- Lost In Space
- When Reality Bring You Down
- You
- Departure
- Terminal
- Sworn Enemies
- Rub al Khali
- Rain

As you see, a bunch of songs! I have already gotten an cover for this promo from a great artist. Looks great :)

BACK TO THE STUDIO!

Cheers! /F

Dream Theater cover

2009-10-02T22:59:00.000-07:00

Found these guys covering one of my favourite bands - dream theater. Check their amazing cover here:

Cool!

Point zero continued

2009-09-24T04:26:00.000-07:00

So where are we?

We are right here :) Rockin' more than ever. The recordings haven't really started yet though, but we are somewhere in the calm before the storm, the songs are written, and we're all getting psyked and ready to rock, all of us strongly believe in the songs and we dearly hope that the recordings will run smoothly and that they will realize our vision.

We had an lengthy rehearsal yesterday and we still do some changes in the arrangements of the songs. So they'll be finely tuned for the recording.

We believe that the songlist looks like this for now (its close, but we don't dare to say it's THE final list, you never do, right?):

..(in no specific order)..

1. Ruin (part 1)
2. The Ride
3. A Secret Place
3. Unbeatable Foe
4. My Reason
5. The Kings Hall
6. Equilibrium
7. Merry-Go-Round
8. Spring to Life
9. Keep it True
10. The Reckoning
11. Rest Assured
12. Ruin (part 2-8)
13. Dream of You (not rehearsed yet, we'll see if this one makes the cut).

...13 must be a lucky number, right?

The next project is to record 'Unbeatable foe' and 'My Reason'. These tracks will be released when they are done. Then well proceed to record the whole thingie.

Stay rockin'

Ember

2009-09-22T23:58:00.000-07:00

Hi there folks, it's been a while. I've been working hard trying to finish some of my musicial projects, soon...

For now, here's a somewhat strange little track I wrote with the eighties in mind, its called 'Ember':

Lyrics:

Ember (Music and lyrics: Fredrik Lindberg)

Demons - in all our tad glorious
Meetings - I try to be there when you're
Screaming - and now I believe in your
Monsters

Ember

Darkness - I've seen it before with the
Leaving - but still I adore when you're
Screaming - I had my though time with your
Monsters (monsters)

Ember - Know that I
Know that I have more to know
Ember - Know that I have more to give
Know all this

Now I learn to read your eyes
They are changing by the way
The the fire that I've seen has withered away

Now I learn to read your eyes
They are changing by the way
The the fire that I've seen has withered away

(add on chorus:)

I look at you now
You changed for the worse
I look at you now
The stranger in you

Leave the reasons that you
Greive - I've seen the way you
Dream - of love you do not
Understand

Leave - The reasons that you
Greive - I've seen the way you
Dream - the screams that keep you up at night

...I'll try to keep this blog more up to date. See ya soon!

Funny the way it is

2009-06-24T08:25:00.000-07:00

I'm a big Dave Matthews Band fan! I love their smart and funky music with a lot of soul in it. Their latest album is called "Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King". I believe it to be one of their best albums of all time, simply amazing stuff. From the first time I heard "Funny the way it is" I was hooked. Great stuff!

MR BIG REUNION!

2009-05-24T15:57:00.000-07:00

...of course I hold my thumbs for a gig in Sweden. That would ROCK!

Music is way too fun

2009-05-21T23:52:00.000-07:00

Rock!

Yesterday I downloaded a demo for the software Effectrix. With this software you can crush, stretch and loop the audio in all kinds of wierd ways. It's easy to use and way too fun..

The cool interface looks like this:

I also got another tip about an alternative called LiveCut. I havent tried it out yet, but I will. Seems nice!

LiveCut looks like this:

More songs and more rehearsals

Howdy Hoy!

Yesterday we had a soft rehearsal with Point zero. Mackan is still over in McDonalds land, so I guess it went well considering.

I've been writing on FOUR new songs for pz, actually three new ones and one 'old'...

I'm writing lyrics for two of the newer tracks and I have lyrics for the old track already, but I'll try to re-write some parts of it. The last track I'll leave the lyric spot open for the other guys.

The songs I have lyrics for are called 'A Secret Place', 'The Reckoning' and 'No Angel'.

From time to time there's a musicial competition at the studio forum. Before, I have just entered the competitions/festivals on kontrollrummet (similar type of musicial festivals over there). But since the theme for the coming competition on studio forum is death metal I just had to participate. I'm hoping that I will get it all together before the deadline (24 May), I'm aiming to finish two songs, fingers crossed. I've talked to some guys that might help me out with the vocals and stuff as well. I will put this evil music online somewhere when the competition is over, so you can bang a bit with me.

But for now I will just sing the first riff for you - daaa-dududu.....daaa-dududu. Hit warning?

...anyhow..

stay metal.. or.. something.

Cheerz! /F
