Nördfriend Releases New Album: Tears Flowing The Sky

Nördfriend, quiet island, tears flowing the sky

Scandinavian electronic project Nördfriend is ready to release new album after debut one 'Quiet Island'. Second album called 'Tears Flowing The Sky'. It should be the great music journey ever: it brings mix of nature and technology. Landscapes and ethereal melodies weave together. You will become a witness of some kind of marriage.

Recently Nördfriend gave an interview and promise to release new album in April. Members of the project have plans to work with ancient nature. Nobody among mermaids (Nördfriend's fanbase) don't really imagine what does 'work with ancient nature' mean, but one secret source claims it is all about nordic folklore.

Few days ago Nördfriend have left a message on the secret blog. The message speaks about Northen countries' nature, traditions and necessity to protect it:

'It’s necessary to unite together and stand for the environment. Only together we can confront its disappearance.'

Meanwhile new recording reminds more far Asian motifs: we can cleary hear it on lead single 'Moon Tea'. In this way, musicians want to show how much in common Scandinavian and Asian (like Japanese) music unexpectedly have:

'It's impossible to predict what listeners should expect. Our music is more specific than usually.'
There is a place for a dance music on album too. Last single 'Telepathy' begins with mysterious ambient hum, but appeasement interrupts by the male vocal with sharp dance sound conversion. Nördfriend told they was inspired by night rhythms of such northern capital as Stockholm and Copenhagen. This is not the first experience of working with EDM. Track 'Missing' from debut album became a huge hit and one of favourite tracks among mermaids.

Nördfriend use on previous album ethnic instruments like harp also. It became known that we will hear a flute including wild drums and strings on new album.

Music project prepare for us one more pleasant surprise. Nördfriend is going to create new magical items for official mermaid store NORDSHOP featuring upcoming music. It were maden 'Unicorn Blood', 'Mermaid Tears' and 'Love Potion' before. Goods will be presented by this era is unknown yet. We suspect it will be something marvellous. Items possible appear after album release.

This year 'Tears Flowing The Sky' should be the most unpredictable release. So we only have to wait for it. What will this spring bring? The answer we will get very very soon.

Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z – Impedance, DI Boxes, Preamps, and Mic Level v. Line Level

What is Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z?  What do people mean when they talk about “Mic Level”, “Line Level”, and “Impedance”? First, let’s look at Mic Level sources.  These are considered to be either at Hi-Z or Lo-Z : Hi-Z – High Impedance, High Voltage, Low Current Keywords : Guitars, Basses, Instruments; Short Cable Runs, Better Sustain, More Interference. Most of us will come to associate Hi-Z impedance equipment with things like guitars, basses, and 1/4” connector plugs.  Inside of a Hi-Z cable, there are only two conductors: a “positive” and a ground.   Since there is no negative cable (such as in a Lo-Z cable) to balance the positive cable, both capacitance and reactance suffer with increasingly longer cables.  In layman’s terms, this means your sound loses quality and gets noisier once your cable exceeds roughly 15’ – 20’.  (Ever wonder why it’s hard to find guitar cables longer than 20’?  Now you know why!) Fun Fact : Vacuum tube circuits have na...

Marshall 1960A 4x12 Guitar Cab Mic Placement / Positioning

How should you mic up your 1960A rig at your next show or recording project? The short answer: Experiment with many different mics, mic positions, and even mic preamps before settling on a "best" sound.  There is really no "right" answer since music is so subjective, and there may be multiple solutions for different situations.  Make sure you know what speaker sounds best in your cab, and make sure you know where an SM57 sounds best, too, since that's what the average sound tech is going to throw on there. The long answer: Most of us know that placing mics in various positions around a speaker cabinet will yield different sounds.  Part of this has to do with each speaker sounding a little different (even if they're the same make and model), mic height from the ground producing various colorations due to differences in reflection time, and what kind of room you are in.  In particular, though, there are three (3) main placement factors that will affect ...

Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter Review

One of my close buddies picked up a Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter today for $50.00 off of a Craigslist deal and promptly handed it over to me for inspection and testing.  To be honest, my experience with analog compressors is fairly limited; I have used EL Distressors in the past but beyond that, my knowledge is quite limited.  I know what "should" work in theory and what settings might be good for certain genres of music, but I really had no idea what to expect here. After a cursory inspection of the unit, which revealed it was manufactured in 1982, I read the manual ( available online here ) cover to cover.  I realized a few things right off the bat -- this is a VCA stereo compressor, it comes with an included noise gate, and side-chaining is completely possible.  The rest of the manual is surprisingly helpful... there's really no fluff here like with most modern manuals that are filled with useless garbage. The next step was to grab a few TRS patch cables a...
