I sat in my apartment playing some guitar while my daughter Ella was playing around, so I recorded two songs and uploaded them to my YouTube channel!

Here they are:

Ella

Wasted Love

My next gig will be at the festival Hallå Åkersberga on the 31th of July! I don’t know the time for my set but I will update the gig section as soon as I know!

I’ve also done a radio interview for the radio station Radio Österåker which will air on the 29th of July at 20:00 (Swedish time). You can listen live to Radio Österåker on their website: radio.osteraker.se (the interview is in Swedish)

The Black Keys – Brothers (Spotify link)
The Black Keys new album is with out doubt one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long long time! They got their own kind of mix between soul, blues and rock. It’s also so nicely produced that I just want sit down in the studio and copy their style completely, I’m not gonna do that though, but definitely borrow some ideas! Especially to “Blues Beat” which I posted to my Soundcloud page awhile ago…

If you visit their Facebook page and “like” them you get to download a free track, and if you share their page to your friends you get another song.

The Tallest Man On Earth – The Wild Hunt (Spotify Link)
thetallestmanonearth.se

Another excellent album recently released is The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth who I’ve written about here before. This album sounds pretty much the same as the last one, but that’s not bad though, his songwriting and his voice is so strong it cuts straight in to your bones! Check it out!

Other recommended, recently  released, music (all Spotify links):

Erykah Badu – New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh

Bonobo – Black Sands

The other day I found a bunch of old clips of me playing some of my songs on acoustic guitar. They’re about a year old but I thought it would be worth it to upload them to my YouTube channel, so I did!

And here’s some new beats and tracks for the upcoming EP:

Be Positive (Quick Mix, Beat In Progress 1) by Dubious Quip

Blues Beat by Dubious Quip

“Thounds is a music platform, easily accessible through a social network.
 Thounds helps people capture their musical inspirations which can be recorded live with a computer microphone or by plugging in a real instrument. Finished tracks can be shared through blog pages, Facebook, Myspace, Virb and other popoluar networks.

Ideas don’t only come from musicians: everyone gets musical inspirations and Thounds helps catch them. Whether you are a musician or just a music lover, you can contribute to a new track and enjoy it with your friends and with many others around the world.”

The nice thing about it is that they have an iPhone app, so if I come up with an idea I can just grab my phone and record the melody straight away and then people can start adding stuff like guitar riffs, bass lines, beats etc.!

That’s how great music is made!

Here’s my first “thound”, I sang a hook into my iPhone and in a couple of hours a dude from Spain called horriblito had added some really nice guitar riffs and backing vocals  to it! You can also hear my daughter Ella, 6 months old, trying to sing along in the background…

I’m also working on a new EP which hopefully will be available this spring/summer, it will be a 4 – 5 track EP if I follow my plans…

If you want to follow the progress of the making of the EP you can follow me on my Soundcloud page where I post beats and stuff every now and then! I’ll also cross post to my Facebook page and Twitter profile… Leave comments and help me make my next EP as good as possible! Here’s two beats that I’ve posted there so far:

Beat idea 62 (Updated) by Dubious Quip

Beat in progress 1 by Dubious Quip

I’ll upload more acoustics clips of the new tracks on YouTube soon!

I’m working on a new beat at the moment… trying to get it right and everything… Let me know what you think about it! and try to be creative now please!

I did the drum-loop in the beginning with Beatmaker on my iPhone, all sounds in the loop are stuff I recorded in my apartment like a book “flurp”, me banging on a door, keys, and all kinds of weird stuff. I also recorded some kind of beatbox thing which I put a phaser on. Then there’s some tweaked instruments from NI Kontakt and me playing the guitar.

I’m also trying to come up with some nice idea for lyrics…

Eeeeeeenjoy!
