Repent (Remorse) Part I

Currently I am having some time off from my daytime job. This meaning a better focus on being creative. And the first week was just too much noise and clutter but now, eight days in, the clouds are nomore despite the heavy rains in the physical world.  

The processes of being creative have been kind of messy and stressful since I put to much weight on my shoulders. But tonight it all became crystal clear; I need to repent.

First of all; let us come to understanding of what we are talking about when I proclaim the need off repenting. And I will keep it simple (and adress this issue in another style and way on other platforms down the line)

What is the true meaning of the word repent? According to Merriam-Webster repent is "to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life". And to clarify even further; what is sin in its original meaning (from the hebrew)(not the religious way we are taught)? The word "sin" derives from "khata" and it simply means "to fail" or "miss the goal"

So now I repent from missing the goal with my music. I have been praying a lot and tonight a friend musician of mine came to discuss another project we are working on. This leads to a total change of focus meaning a rather drastic approach to Daevidius. 

Stay tuned for more on this topic

God bless!

New DAW on the move? Garageband? FL Studio!




Well... Next year I am embarking on a voyage through parts of western Africa. One of the main issues with doing this travel in my mind is the lack of not creating during this experience. So I have been scanning the market sort of. And since I just start using an iPad the obvious choice would be Garageband. And I have tried it for a short time. Now it is time to try out FL Studio; installed now in my Studio and of course later on; I try it out on iPad. Or maybe I should focus on just lyrics during my travels and getting energy back?

God bless!

Recording acoustic guitars? Well.. No

A couple of weeks ago I declared the start up of recording acoustic guitars. Well.. that is now off the table. I started off recording and then I noted some parts needs to be altered. So I rewrote some parts and added some parts. This process was completed this morning. 

In this process I came to the conclusion I shall not record these parts myself. This led to assign a guitarplayer for this. We have not finalized when to record but we will meet up next week and try to create and evolve together.

Stay blessed!

God bless!

iPad? Really?

Next year I will embark on a voyage in western Africa for several months. I have always been kind of thinking I can not do this adventure but God is working in me. It is time to step out of the comfort of home: who knows what the outcome will be in a few years? It might be just a holiday? Well I think it actually is of great importance for my further life. But I keep the secrets to myself for now. 

However; one of the things holding me back was the thougth of how can I live without creating music for that long? That line of thoughts are now history and in line with this I bought a used iPad. And yesterday I started learn how to use it. And I must say it is really fun. The coming months in itself will be really fun in this area; I am already convinced and on the move.

Stay tuned!

God bless!

Start up Recording Acoustic Guitars

This very day I started recording clean guitars for the upncoming songs.  I will keep it very simple and I think I got a very nice sound with simple means. The headline says acoustic guitars but that is a twist. The clean guitars will be recorded with an Les Paul just adding a jazzy sound to it. In other words; we are going in a different direction soundwise. This will be a blast!

God bless!

Recording Bass Sessions - What a blast!

Wow; what a day it became! This day I only had one focus; record bass for all the songs for the upncoming EP with Daevidius. In addition to this I am also working on songs to be released under my own name, David Bengtsson. All in total it adds up to 12 songs in one form or the another. 

Before even I went to recording mode; I prayed and talked to God and asked of him to bless my plans for the day. And guess what; He did! I do not care what you think or say in this matter but he answered my prayer! I did my part (writting new lines and practice them) and he did his part!

Thank you Lord and all blessings to you all!

Stay blessed!

God bless!

Rehearsal for recording bass

Just this day I started rehearsing for new recordings of bass. The reasons for this are:

  • Mostly of the songs has actually been altered and rewritten
  • Altering to the sound of instruments.
And I must say; the changes are a blast!

Stay blessed!
Stay tuned!

God bless!
