In 1998 I released my first self-produced album titled "Time" on home-burned CDs and sold several copies to my friends and schoolmates. This album was recorded on an 8-track hard disk recorder with only a couple of low budget mics and me not really knowing, how to handle all this. 😅 But this production and those 10 songs were sort of a starting point for me to keep writing and recording my own music ever since. 20 years later I found that multitrack machine in the attic and while checking it's functionality I thought it might be fun to re-record one of those old tunes again on that same machine. Just for testing purposes. But this was so much fun and so I started to do new interpretations of all of the songs! I recorded as simple as possible on those limited 8 tracks and the outcome: 2 EPs released in 2018 and 2020 titled "Time Revisited, Part 1" and "Part 2" with new interpretation of all 10 songs – re-imagined and re-recorded. This process reminded me of how creative and pure joy a recording process can be if I stop starring on a computer screen, clicking through countless plugins, dealing with technical problems and instead just record straight into a simple multitrack machine with no distraction. I never did any recordings on a computer/DAW since this project. I took it even further, I built myself a studio with just analog gear and analog workflow from production to mixing with an old console and and 8-track tape machine. I love it! If you want to listen to my "Time Revisited" project, I combined both EPs together to one album and published it as Podcast 2.0. You will find this one on Fountain under https://fountain.fm/album/WVDL1LMN9AZCZyD7RMC0 or https://v4vmusic.com/?album=cmltgm2z65hfiod0i9a4frq0z My personal favorites are "Coming Home" and "Goodbye '99". Enjoy! PS: All songs were produced in A = 432hz. #v4v #v4vmusic #demu #music #432hz #432hzmusic

Here comes my personal top list of plugins I use for recording and mixing #music at my studio:

AI can't roll the tape.

The AI music dilemma will come to an abrupt end as soon as consumers take full control of when and how much they pay artists for their work. With Spotify and similar services, every play/stream is equivalent to a payment. Want to stream AI music just out of curiosity? Too bad, you'll still be indirectly paying the creator in any case — even if you don't like the song or don't want to pay on principle. V4V will solve this problem: fair and, above all, conscious remuneration for artists via direct payment. #v4v #v4vmusic

I decided to publish my whole music catalogue (starting 2014) as podcast 2.0 feeds with value 4 value enabled. You can listen to all my albums, EPs and singles in your favourite podcast player. Check out https://v4vmusic.com/search?q=Christian+Leuenberg&type=al… #music #v4v #v4vmusic #value4value
