The good old proverb ‘If you want something done, you better do it yourself’ is very fitting here. Some time back I signed with Record Union and let them take care of getting my releases out on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and many other stores. One of them was LastFM.
The days went by and – as you know – the releases found their way to the virtual shelves. Everyone but LastFM. So I waited, and waited and wondered and finally got the message that Record Union were about to stop working with LastFM.
That, I guess, was my queue. So after a few hours of uploading and designing and trying to make things look good, I finally have all my releases up on LastFM. So now all you that want to scrobble Interzone tracks – go ahead!
Upcoming!

Keep an eye on this place for an interesting release any day soon.
Mail
Yes, I have a mailinglist. One that you can subscribe to, if you want. And yes, I hate spam as much as the next one. So why should you subscribe to my list?
Well, basically – to get cool stuff.
My main channel to ‘talk’ to you is here. And somewhat on Twitter too. So I intend to use the maillist to distribute unreleased material, discount coupons for the webshop and other goodies to the folks that could be bothered to enter a mailadress.
So for example, if you decide you want to sign up I’m giving you the as of yet unreleased track Deserts I as a free download. Just join up here and you will be all set. I hope you will like this.

Hi there music lovers. There is, as usual, a lot in the making and plenty of new stuff to look forward to.
Shoplifting
Yes, the Interzone Webshop is taking of. Most of the old releases are available there for good quality streaming as well as download. Even the free release n3Xtensions is there, complete with cover art and all. As I said before, this is the place where all new material will be released, long before they hit the big stores like iTunes, Amazon.
Inc-arnations
The compilation is ready to be released, everything is ready and the tracklist is as follows:
…plus some extra bonus material. All I am waiting for now is the record cover. And for the first time I will not be doing it. It will be done by Project Klangwelt, a wonderful, creative and really cool graphic designer. Go and check her work out. I am really looking forward to what she will bring.
Deserts
The music is recorded and ready – six tracks in total. The tone and feel is very distorted, dark and dissonant. The Deserts project differs a bit from the other ones in that that I am planning to include both written words and moving images. There is still a lot to be done on those areas, but I will keep you all updated.
Steampunk
Quite a few people have said that my music in many ways could and/or should be referred to as steampunk. That made me ponder on how you translate images of old machinery and any other Verne/Wells imagery into sounds. And what part of my sounds represent those images. But then I listened through some of the stuff I have made, and realized that i do use quite a bit of machinery in my tracks. Old tracks as In the Flesh and Alessa from the Desires release have it. Also many of the tracks on n3Xt and n3Xtensions are in some subconscious way inspired by both steam and punk.
However, there will be much more talked on the topic of steampunk in the future. In the meantime, please share your thoughts on what you think Steampunk is.

Just a small note on a new feature here. If you look at the sidebar to the right you’ll see a new section: Shopping Zones. And besides the links to iTunes and Spotify there is a link to something called Interzone Webshop. That is just what it says. At last there is a online store fully controlled by Interzone and integrated with this site.
This means that I can set the prices, initiate campaigns, give stuff away for free and have exclusive bonus stuff for select people. I also get to keep 100% of the revenue; nothing goes to anyone else. That means that I can set decent prices so everyone gets a fair deal. This will also be the spot where new material gets to see the light of Internet for the first time. If you want to stay updated you can use the RSS feed there.
Right now the only release publilshed there is n3Xt, but rest assured it will be followed by parts of the back catalog, and naturally all the upcoming releases. I really hope you will find this addition to my site to be useful.
Peace::Interzone
