Surfing Audio!

If you haven't checked out the awesome, downloadable game "Audiosurf", you're missing out! It's a fantastic interactive music game where you "Ride Your Music". It works with any song on your computer and is just tons of fun to play.

Other than it just being a great game, "Audiosurf" happens to have been created by a good friend of ours. On top of that, this weeks installment of "Audiosurf Radio" features tracks by Killing Thursby! Isn't that cool?

If you don't already have it, go download "Audiosurf" immediately and be sure to try out some KT tracks while you're at it!

Old Is New Again!

For those out there that like studio gear as much as we do, the NAMM show is an exciting time every year. There are always lots of new gear announcements, demos, and photos. There's been a lot of activity in the "analog gear" realm the past few conventions in particular and this year is no exception. NAMM is still going but already some really cool gear has emerged from the show.

One of the coolest is a collaboration between synth legend, Dave Smith, and drum machine icon, Roger Linn. Their new product, Tempest, is a full-featured analog drum machine. It's got analog oscillators as well as digital samples, filters, envelopes, MIDI, etc., allowing fully customizable old-school drum sounds along with classic "step" programming. It looks like the ultimate modern analog drum machine. Also, Roger Linn stated that he's got another drum machine in the works but hasn't talked about what will make it different from the Tempest. We'd love to get our hands on one of these and put it through its paces!

Drum machines are back and better than ever!

Look To The Horizon!

Happy New Year! We, the members of Killing Thursby, had a great Holiday season and actually spent some time in the same room together (imagine that)! We started a couple of new songs during this time and are really excited about where we can push things for the next album. We also just spent some time hanging out (ie; talking about movies, music, games, etc- the fun stuff!).

We've got some exciting things in the works for this year but we can't talk about them just yet. We're also going to be hitting the pavement hard promoting "Across The Wires". Of course, we're also going to be doing more videos, song de-constructions, and 'random thoughts' blogs like we've been doing.

Here's to a great 2011 and there's a lot more to come from KT!
