I've recently completed a song for a Art Exhibit that was held earlier this year, by Johan Enocson. I added it, once again under a CC-license - meaning that you are all welcome to use it in your own projects, download it from the "CC-License of the Month" box. In addition, I've recently had a few hardware and software upgrades, such as East West Hollywood Strings and Brass, both of which work very well - but I still prefer the grandness of Symphobia. In either case, for aspiring musicians - I'd go full out and buy Komplete 8 before any other library. Kontakt's Factory Library is so extensive you can make just about everything, as vienna orchestral samples, mixed with all of Native Instrument's sample packages goes extremely well together. Not to mention that you will need Kontakt for most major sample-libraries. Anyhow, thank you for your patience - if you have any questions, comments, etc, just email me at Christian@Sandviknes.com - or ChristianSandviknes@gmail.com. Let the spam commence, truly yours - Chris.... Wed, 04 Jul 2012 08:08:59 UTC http://www.christiansandviknes.com/news/no-new-songs-but/ I've recently obtained yet another sample-library. Specifically, this time around the choice has fallen on "Symphobia I and Symphobia II", two excellent mock-up libraries with good playability, both for live playing - and for sequencing. I must say that while some of the string-libraries are somewhat lacking in realism, the brass and the depth of the ensembles more than make up for it, and while the price-tag is somewhat harsh in consideration to what you get (43 gbs of samples). It's still a decent purchase. www.ProjectSam.com for more information on the libraries. Cheers, Christian Sandviknes, the big cheese.... Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:38:44 UTC http://www.christiansandviknes.com/news/ive-once-again-updated-another-song/ This time it's actually completed though, as a loop - so you could check it out in the MP3-player. Called "Menu Theme" (for obvious reasons) Enjoy!... Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:03:18 UTC http://www.christiansandviknes.com/news/an-update-my-god-what-has-happened/ Once more alive, and to show this, I've uploaded two works in progress. Should be available from the playlist. "Theme of Henrik" and "In High Waters"... Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:54:42 UTC http://www.christiansandviknes.com/news/nevrological-rehabiliation-completed/ I've now completed my stay at the rehab-facility "Nevrohjemmet", and the production should once again resume. I've added -two- new W.I.P songs (work in progress), both being experiments for "Shreddage", as well as a bit of hybridization of genres. Enjoy, and comments - as always, to Christian@Sandviknes.com... Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:02:46 UTC
