Fic asks: 4, 13, 22!

4) total number of words you wrote this year

Oh boy, uh. Hmm. Most of my work isn't on a place with word counts like Ao3. But I would estimate I wrote about 200 words a day on average (more like 3k a week but only once a week, most weeks).

Most of it, I couldn't bear to publish. I haven't been doing well this year.

My published word count is a much more limited 4.5k on Ao3, and another ~1200 on Dreamwidth.

13) favorite writing song/artist/album of this year

Emil Erik Eskildsen's solo guitars are really good for writing too, they have lots of Sensory Input and no words or sudden beats or anything to cause trouble. Slow Fall is especially nice.

22) events you participated in this year

I did kinktober, but none of it was publishable, alas. Mostly just outlines with a handful of written scenes.

centrozoon - WWTY-Tour memories Pt.2 - Erik Emil Eskildsen

[This is the second of two guest posts celebrating the release of the new centrozoon album "The Room of Plenty" by providing some context, stories and memories from where this music originated. While the recent first post by Adrian Benavides focused on the first leg of our tour in November 2011, in this post by Erik Emil Eskildsen recalls his memories travelling with us during the second round of concerts in December. Pictures by added by me.- Tobias] -

The Room of Plenty by centrozoon

I joined centrozoon for 4 concerts in December 2011 during their “We Will Tongue You” tour. I wanted to support the band by helping out with whatever was needed, and taking care of the recording of the concerts. At that time I was still living in Denmark, and had just come out of some difficult times. So when I left I knew spending time with my best friends would definitely be good for me. I traveled to Innsbruck, Austria from Denmark by train, a journey I’ve done several times in my life, to meet up with Markus and spend some time with him before travelling to Bern, Switzerland on the 7th of December, where Bernhard and Tobias would join us for the concert at Headmaster-Ateliers as part of the “Freipass” series of artist presentations.

"Going along well: Erik and Innsbruck" (photo and caption credit: Markus Reuter) I remember being very happy when I arrived to Innsbruck. The cold and refreshing mountain air was good for me. Markus and I had lots of time to talk and catch up. Going out for coffee in town, as we have done so often. When Markus and I drove to Bern, we were met with pretty rough weather conditions on the way. Snow came, lots of it. At the concert in Bern I met Tobias’ mother for the first time, she had brought some amazing local marzipan cakes for us all to take home with us. Those were great cakes!

cz setup in Bern (photo credit: Erik Emil Eskildsen) After the gig, before driving back to Tobias’ place in Biel, I remember that we had a conversation with some local artists, who were in charge of arranging concerts at the venue. I don’t remember a lot from this conversation, except that I felt very exhausted by having talked about things that were mostly irrelevant to what I considered important as an artist. But all in all it also felt great to have a conversation of this type, something that wasn’t really possible for me were I was in Denmark at that time, and I had therefore been missing. On the 8th of December we spent most of the day hanging in Biel, our good friend Mark Butler, who was living and working in Switzerland at that time and had also attended the concert the night before in Bern, joined us and we went out for food at a Kebab place and then had coffee at Starbucks. The food was good, but the coffees were better! ;-) It was really nice to catch up with Mark, not having had that much time to talk the night before. After hanging around town, Mark left and would join us later in Basel. We gathered all things we needed, said goodbye to Biel and were heading to Basel for the concert at the Plattfon record store. As we came to the car, that we had parked a few blocks from Tobias’ place, we realized that the front passenger seat window had been left open all night, with gear and some belongings of ours in the trunk of the car. Luckily enough nothing was missing, and the car hadn’t been touched! This felt really rare, and left a very positive impression of Biel in me. Something like that would not go well in most other cities I know and have lived in.

The Room of Plenty by centrozoon

After setting up and preparing everything for the concert at Plattfon in Basel we had dinner at a restaurant where they had good vegetarian food, which considering that both Tobias and I are vegetarians was very appreciated. One of Tobias’ sisters joined us for dinner, so I met her for the first time there. One very remarkable thing that I remember from the concert at Plattfon, was that the majority of the audience was female, and not only because they were the girlfriends of guys that had come to the concert. They were just there for the music. This is, unfortunately, not the typical thing to occur at an experimental music concert. It felt like it created a different atmosphere. I remember talking with Mark outside the venue after the concert about how real the music had been, comparing experiences we had both had before, that somehow connected to this point, and to the music. I remember that being in the audience at this concert was a powerful experience, and I’m pretty sure it had been like that for Mark too.

cz playing at Plattfon, Basel (photo credit: Simona Reber) After the concert Bernhard, Markus and I drove to Innsbruck, Tobias would join us a few days later. Markus had bought Kate Bush’s new album “50 Words for Snow” at Plattfon, and we listened to that album on the way to Innsbruck. This album sort of became the soundtrack of this whole trip for me. We listened to that album quite a lot during the days in Innsbruck. In Innsbruck Bernhard and I stayed at our friend Herlinde’s place, and on one of those nights we finally had a beer together! Something we had been wanting to do for quite some time. It was really good to spend time with Bernhard. Having good long breakfasts together in the mornings. On the 10th Tobias arrived and we prepared for the concert at the local radio in Innsbruck, Radio Freirad. The concert was live on air in our friend Alexander Spechtenhauser’s radioshow Klangforschung. I remember Tobias and I having fun posting through each others facebook pages, Tobias posting “This is not Erik” as me on mine, and me posting “This is not Tobias” as him on his. It was a great 2 hour show, with two sets.

cz performing live on air at Radio Freirad (photo credit: Erik Emil Eskildsen) On the 11th we drove to Munich, where there would be a house concert at a good friends place. This would be the last concert of the 2011 leg of the “We Will Tongue You” tour. I remember being very tired and overwhelmed that night during the concert. I’m assuming that it was a combination, of having been exposed to such deeply moving music, during the time up to this night, and knowing that the next day I would be returning to Denmark. After the concert we hung out, Markus left for Innsbruck and Bernhard, Tobias, and I stayed overnight at our friend’s place where the house concert had been. We all had trains leaving from Munich Main Station the next day.

centrozoon playing a living room concert in Munich (photo credit: Renée Stieger-Reuter) I remember enjoying breakfast the next morning very much. I took care of the guys and made us some nice coffee. We eventually went together to the train station. Tobias and Bernhard were the first to leave. I still had a bit of time until my train was leaving. I think I had another coffee, as a matter of a fact I most likely did [Editors note: ;-)]. And eventually got on my train, listening to “50 Words for Snow” on repeat for most of the long journey back to Denmark. I don’t remember if actually did snow on the way there, or if it did when I arrived. But somehow the snowfall that came when Markus and I were on the way to Switzerland, was still there with me, covering me like a comforting blanket. - ["The Room of Plenty is available at www.iapetus-store.com.]

Here's a little piece I played today on my Walden B1E Baritone guitar, processed through 3 parallel instances of the PSP Audioware Lexicon PSP 42 delay plugin.

[eeeskildsen]

Back in the autumn of 2013 I bought a Godin Glissentar from my friend Jimmy Lee. This is a small improvisation I did, experimenting with the "Henry Kaiser style" square wave modulated delay looping. Godin Glissentar processed through 3 parallel instances of PSP Audioware Lexicon PSP 42.

New album release: Troy Jones "New Peace"

"New Peace" is the new album by Nashville-based drummer Troy Jones. It was produced by Markus Reuter and mixed and mastered by Lee Fletcher. The musicians playing on "New Peace" are Troy, Markus, Lee, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Alex Dowerk, Erik Emil Eskildsen, Yoshi Hampl and myself. I'm playing synth lines and electronic bells and percussions on "Cosmic Carousel", "Enigmatic" and "Suprachiasmatic Nucleus", and synth drones and solos on the title track, "New Peace" (See the Bandcamp album page for track-by-track credits). I recorded my contributions early on in the process in spring 2012, so it's a big pleasure to hear how far the tracks have come since then, and what great playing the other musicians have brought to the project!
