I have now heard the final mixes for the second Hilastherion album. It sounds great so far, and now it's time for mastering. More updates to come as soon as there's any more news.

Music and Talent
Last Friday and Saturday there was an event here in Vaasa called "Musik och Talang" (which is Swedish for "Music and Talent"). There was a lot of workshops and stuff, and a lot of concerts took place. I didn't participate in any of the workshops, but I knew some of the musicians who were playing, so I wanted to go listen to a couple of them. On Friday three different bands played in a club called Doo Bop Club.
The first band was Icons of Elegance. Their bass player, Anssi Växby, was my first bass teacher back in the days when I started playing. During their set, I couldn't sit still in my chair. I did sit in my chair, but I wasn't still for a second. Their sound is influenced by the sixties, but it's still fresh.
The second band was Jerry Lindqvist and The Grace. Back in the days when I studied music, I shared an appartment with their drummer, Sam Fröjdö. Soulmates. Nothing more to say, really. Oh, the band...? Their sound is influenced by country, but with a Fenno-Swedish twist. They were better than I expected.
The third band was The Northern Governors. I had never heard of this band before, but they were a pleasant surprise. What a band! Funky, groovy and tight. By the end of their set I was dancing like crazy, and I wasn't alone.
All in all, an awesome night out with good friends. I couldn't have asked for more.

Hilastherion update
This morning I noticed that we had got the "final" mixes for the upcoming Hilastherion album. So now I'm listening to all the tracks to get a better idea of the sound. And of course, there might still be small changes if there's anything wrong with any of these mixes. So far this sounds really sweet, I'm excited!

Countdown
It's been a while since I posted anything Rush related here. Now, I know there are a lot of people who like Rush, but don't like their song Countdown. I'm not one of them. I love listening to it when my working week approaches the end, as it does right now. I love how it builds up towards the end of the song. Gets me in a good mood every time. Have a great weekend, everyone!
