Miika Kuisma blog

Hi,

I’ve added a progress bar showing how my album is getting ready. You can find this meter below the menu on the right.

You can also see when all the tracks are done, when it’s getting mastered and so on.

My ‘One Morning By The Riverside’ was picked up to GU030 vinyl sampler!

A2 Audioglider - Zusammenallien

B1 Audioglider - Whiskers

The first single release from my second artist album is now available as digital download.

Supported by Above & Beyond, Steve Helstrip, M.I.K.E., John 00 Fleming, Mike Shiver, Nicholas Bennison, Jon O’Bir, John O’Callaghan, Eelke Kleijn, Sied Van Riel, Kris O’Neil, Paul Nova, Dj Choose, Suzy Solar, Che Armstrong..

Now how cool is this?? It’s no surprise that the size of this thing fit excatly myspace.com pages. Besides being good example of ‘out of the box’ thinking this will also help artists and labels to sell more music.

I’m here to announce title of my next artist album. It’s going to be called.. ‘Sententia‘. Like previous title ‘Inwardgaze‘ this one also has lot of meaning behind it. If I would try to explain excatly why I’m calling my album Sententia I would have to write a little book. But basicly it’s a Latin word and translates: sentiment, opinion, decision, saying, thought, way of thinking, meaning, purpose, thought, meaning purpose.

The picture of clouds above this text is part of the album artwork and relates with the title and general mood of the album. While ‘Inwardgaze’ was very dark in sound and color ‘Sententia’ is going to be bright and positive but still mellow.

One trick I’m still trying to do is to have fun with track lenghts. As you might know maximum lenght for the audio CD is 78 minutes. That’s the official lenght that’s guaranteed to work in every standard CD player. Then I’ve always thought album should have at least 12 tracks in it, god knows why but that’s how I feel. So then I realised if I’ll make the first track 1 minute long, second track 2 minutes long and so on I will end up with 12 tracks and excatly 78 minutes of music. I ‘m trying to make this happening because in my opinion this idea is just so cool and haven’t find any album like that around.

Just finished my third remix for Dutch hero Sied Van Riel. To be released on Liquid this spring! It was fun to do some tech trance again
