what a superb festival!
Bjørk! Arcade Fire! Akron/Family! Turboweekend! Analogik!

and we have to mention all the bands we were involved in as well! Because they did a fantastic job all of them! Tenniscoats / Slaraffenland / Maher Shalal Hash Baz / Grizzly Bear / Taxi Taxi! / Kama Aina / Nika Soup & Saya Source and not to forget Nikaido Kazumi having never seen her perform before this was possible the biggest experiece of the festival! All of these names were presented on the festival through us and 4 of them are on our label Rumraket.

also I will never forget the 100% spontaneous concert Nika Soup & Saya Source played in the Lounge scene during the powercut! Kama Aina, Bill Wells and Ueno from Tenniscoats were the backing band and it was just magical! if anyone have pictures please send them!!

a superb festival indeed!

here is a picture of the original score for “Danske” (danish) - one of Tori Kudo´s latest compositions. He wrote it after he visited the Danish National Museum. Seing Maher Shalal Hash Baz premiere this song in Malmø yesterday at the Full Pull preview and afterwards receiving the score from Tori as a gift was a nice wrap of an incredible week!

Mads on audible sightseing

Friday, March 16th, 2007
Mads on icelandic audible sightseing Last week Mads visited his girlfriend on Iceland and brought with him equipment to make field recordings.

Here he is documenting “Icelandic wind bouncing back from a white wall”.

I wonder what was inside, behind that wall and if it can be heard on the recordings echoing in the wind? Maybe a breakfast buffet or 10 icelandic ponies? Other suggestions are very welcome.

Taxi Taxi! are amazing!

Monday, February 12th, 2007

I have just spend the whole weekend with Miriam and Johanna (Taxi Taxi!) in a snowy and cold Norway at the annual By:Larm festival. Taxi Taxi! played two wonderful and extraordinary concerts - oh my god!!!!!

I feel a bit ashamed about cheering so loud for a band thats on Rumraket, but these girls are so amazing I can´t help myself! When they are on stage it´s like listening to and experiencing a shower of pure pure talent and musicality. They have just turned 17, are twins and about to conquer the world in their very own unique and humble way.

Come Join us! for the concert and party in Copenhagen February 24th at Global when they play live!!

TICKETS (50 kr in pre-sale) here!!
