Meeting the indies

Silver Gleaming Sound Machine was chosen by Bandbase, together with four other upcomming bands, to present our new SGSM Mini Album ”All tomorrow’s gardens” to Danske Uafhængige Pladeselskaber / Danish Independent Music Labels (DUP) at this year’s SPOT festival.

Bandbase and DUP are working together on a project during SPOT 2009 in Aarhus, Denmark that focuses on helping upcomming bands taking it a step further.

We are meeting with DUP on the 23rd of May, at ”the DUP tent” at SPOT – where the panel will get a chance to talk, think, hear and smell real Krautpop…

The panel consists of:

Nikolaj Nørlund (Auditorium)
Jesper “Yebo” Reginal (Crunchy Frog)
Søren Krogh (Playground Music)
Nicolaj Hyltén-Cavellius (Artiscope Music)

Coordinator: Rasmus Ardahl, BandBase

If you have any good ideas on how or what to present (besides songs and good looks) next Saturday – please feel free to comment..

Right now we are considering doing some guerilla-marketing during the festival – e.g. sitting in front of the entrance selling our beautiful Mini-Vinyl-Record – drinking the leftover beers that security confiscates from the young and trendy..

Blue Box video

We have finally finished our Blue Box video, with a little help from our friend: Miriam Nejsum..

Blue Box sponsorship

In February 2009 Silver Gleaming Sound Machine is in the ”blue zone”. The band has just received the Bandbase/Sennheiser music sponsorship “the blue box”. The box which contains 24 quality microphones will be used for the recording of our next EP – and is a welcome addition to our process.

The microphones will hopefully help express and underscore the colour and sound of our music – helping us guide our new tunes through the SGSM electronic circuitry consisting of sampler, drum machines and effect pedals.

In particular the encounter of acoustic (guitar, drums and bass) and electronic (synths, sampler, drum machine) instruments seem to present a challenge when recording, but one that with a bit good fortune will bring about an interesting overall sound. For example we will be aiming at achieving a natural coherent raw drum sound that still needs to communicate with the more dry and synthetic drum machines. We are also trying to bend our analogue synths into a more acoustic sound space by playing and recording them through old tube amps. These are just a few examples of our approach to recording and areas where the microphones will be put into creative use.
