Well here we are, Oscillator is dragging on and on, and I know you’re getting tired of only reading about nothing but delays. So after some thinking I went and made a decision. *who-hoo*
Instead of waiting a few more months to get the remaining tracks done I am now stopping all new material so I can have Oscillator avaliable to all of you before Christmas. This means there’s only some minor re-touches and final mastering left to do. This also means that the album will be shorter (some 35 minutes), but all the tracks not making it here will come on later releases. And yes, that is an image of the tracklist as it will look on the cover.
So keep your eyes and ears open, this will happen before you know it. And best of all – I’m releasing it under the Creative Commons – i.e. a free download. What do you think about that?

18 Dec - UPDATE!
As I type this the final versions of the tracks on Oscillator is being uploaded to RecordUnion for distro to iTunes, Spotify and so. When they are out, I will – as promised – release it as a free download in the Interzone web shop.
It has been a year in the making, and it feels great to have it done!
A few words about the album and the tracks. First off – this is a release I’ve wanted to do for many years. Most of it its a pure tribute to the synth-, symphony- and progbands I grew up with. Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, ELP and Eno are but a few examples. I really hope that those of you who also were fans of this music will hear and feel the homage that is in here. And for you who didn’t – I still hope this might put you on the path of exploring my old heroes.
Finally – Romana is a Time Lord from Gallifrey. Halamshiral is the capital of the Dalish Elves, in the south of Orleas. Andrin is both a beautiful person and a spirit of the forest. Tau Ceti is a star in the constellation Cetus very similar to our Sun.
So there we are. Just in time for Christmas we will see Oscillator released. Happy holidays to you all!
