Killing time with Paris Hilton
Well another sleepless night here in Frisco and I am killing time watching US’s “TOP” story – Paris Hilton is out of jail !!! ANS she’s gonna appear on Larry King Live tonight – I CAN´T WAIT to here her life story and how she´ve become religious in jail……Woooow
The conference went well, well I haven´t made my speech yet – due today – but the discussion panels was, unusally enough, really interesting shedding some light on web 2.0, widgets, iPhone and more, although I cannot stand hearing these endless sales pitches from Symbian, Moto and the rest. I actually benchmarked the agenda on what Symbian was scheduled to speak on – and instead of answering any of his speaking topics I had to endure a half hour sales pitch, yikes
Well it’s good that they have shops like Banana Republic, Pac Sun, Wakers etc, that I visited before going to bed so that I could bring home some cool stuff for the family.
OK, back to checking my e-mail and preparing my presentation for today…..hmm and possibly an hour or so on my new tune Static Frisco
Cheers
Sleepless in Frisco :-(
Well after 12 hours on the United flight to Frisco, with the poorest onboard service I have experienced so far – you cannot even get a beer for free to dinner, they charge you 6 dollars for a beer !!!!
Ok so once here at the Holiday Inn I ended up in my room after a quick Ceasars sallad in the restaurant realizing I will have serious problems getting to sleep (knowing that it is 6AM in the morning in Europe. Well all negative things has positive outcomes – it allowed me to reherse my presentation at MAPOS and start the crafting of a new tune called Static Frisco, based on Combinator patches I have built up to sound like Juno synths (although I am not sure they will end up in the final mix yet)
Btw the Holiday Inn is not placed in a particularly nice area of the town or at least that is how I fealt walking for a bit in the neighbourhood yesterday evening.
Ciao
Discovery "Beta"
Discovery can be found here: http://www.steelberryclones.com/music.html
Feedback, pleeeaase LOL
Well I, at least, think it has a pretty good groove to it.
As I’m going to Frisco next week, speaking at MAPOS USA conference, I will also play around with some new tunes I made from the MicroTonic

Reason 4 in CM
Reason 4 announced – world braces for impact
It’s the moment Reason users have been waiting for – Propellerhead have officially announced Reason 4 on their website – click here to check it out.
As well as giving details of the new instruments and effects (including Thor, RPG-8 and the ReGroove Mixer), Propellerhead also announced they’re looking for Reason 4 beta testers, so get over there if you’d like to try Reason 4 before anyone else.
Other revisions include new patches in the Factory Sound Bank, signature patches from a variety of producers (including Vengeance, Tipper and Plaid), new Tool window, improved sequencer and tweaked NN-XT and Combinator instruments.
There’s no mention of improved sound quality, which is one improvement Reason users have been anticipating for a while now. While Reason 4’s new features look enticing, will they be enough for Reason users hungry for VST compatibility and audio tracks? We’ll have to wait until later in the year when Reason 4 launches to find out for sure…
µTonic
Played around with my fav VST yesterday – µTonic
And the “Reason” I allow myself to do so: Sonic Charge µTonic was created by Magnus Lidström. Magnus is best known for his work with Propellerhead Software. In particular, he was the brain behind the highly acclaimed Malström synthesizer introduced in Reason 2.0.
It really is an awsome drum machine for those of you that have not had a chance to use it yet, make sure to listen to it here:

Discovery will be in here soon, just want to check it one more time with my critics, hehe
See ya
Midsummer
Tonight I hope to finalize my new tune “Discovery”, after receiving great feedback from Shuriken, so stay tuned for tomorrow.
After that; I will continue to hope for good weather on Midsummer, but the prognosis seems awful, rain across most parts of southern Sweden.
Btw Shuriken send me a good link relative to the upcoming Reason 4 release with a little more info revealed on the goodies inside:

See u soon!!
Thor is here !!!!!
Finally we have some news. This looks very, very exciting indeed.
We’ve already seen Thor but there’s plenty of other new stuff coming
including a major overhaul of the sequencer. Point your browser’s to
the Prop’s site IMMEDIATELY 
Monsters Inc.
Well who wouldn´t recognize these two guys out on town. I can tell you as much that behind the masks hides two awsome hackers that I have the privilege to work with and btw their music isn´t so bad either.
Make sure to add them to your friends and stay tuned for more good sounds and plug-ins, enough with all the hints, LOL

iPhone Ringtone
Even though I would really, really want an iPhone I must say I am a bit dissapointed with the ringtones. have you ever heard such a cheezy ringtone. Innovative, hehe, hardly…

Perhaps we should all give them a hand so we do not have to rely on iTunes for everything
Till next time
Frisco
Well it’s been some time time since I last visited San Francisco, but next week I will pack my gear and head off to the west coast on business, however I do hope to be able to check out some of the local electronic music scene while there.
Any tips on where to go??
Ciao for now
