A big shout to our ohmfriend Stuart Price, who has been recently mentioned among the “Best 19 music producers working today” feature from Music Radar! You may already know this Ohm Force heavy user because Madonna’s “Confessions of a Dance Floor” or The Killers’ “Day and Age”, but be aware to listen to some Ohm sounds in the albums he produced for New Order, Scissor Sisters, Keane, Seal, Zoot Woman, Frankmusik, Innerpartysystem… well… this post would be too long if we transcript his whole file. This guy is a monster.
These are the 3 winners of our recent studio pic contest powered by Sample Magic ! Three great pics so a shout out for these guys, respectively (in the photo order) “Samplaire”, “Shmoe” and “Vester”. Each one of them will be able to choose 3 Sample Magic libraries entirely for free, Christmas before time ! (click on the pics to see them bigger, when available)
Former Smashing Pumpkins drummer, currently Morrissey’s one, Ohmicide:Melohman addict and ohmfriend Matt Walker recently spent some time in Paris due Morrissey’s concert. He benefited from the moment to come visit our Ohm Force headquarter and have some off-the-spotlight lunch time at L’Escalier just in front of the Ohm cave. Really really nice to meet him live and realize that despite being rockstar he’s just a cool guy like me and you (ahn?) - what made him deserve an actual Ohmforcian title: Drum Force ! The Ohm Force team make a big roll to this guy, and you can benefit from the moment to some weird french color names…
You’ve probably already heard of Sample Magic, the audio magicians from London who make some of the best – and most awarded – dance sample/loop collections in the world. They’re all available at SoundToSample, *the* one stop shop for high quality audio material. But what you may not know is that head honchos Sharooz and Jake Island – the tricksters behind Sample Magic – are heavy Ohm Force users, counting the ALL-ALL Bundle as a key part in their audio processing arsenal.
They’ve just announced their brand new Dubstep and Grime library, hot on the heels of their Tribal and Tech-House, and to celebrate are offering a nice freebie of THREE LIBRARIES OF YOUR CHOICE for some lucky Ohm people out there. Want to grab them? All you have to do is to post a picture of you in your studio. The only two requirements are: the computer screen must show some Ohm plugins interfaces and you must be in an “audio magician” pose. Each of the three winners will be able to pick three Sample Magic libraries of choice, for free, worldwide shipping or instant download through www.soundstosample.com. The pictures will be judged by the Sample Magicians themselves in their London HQ. Make-up and dressing up allowed. Rabbits and all domestic animals not allowed. The picture (or the link to it) must be posted on the comments section of this blog post, until November 30th 2009.
This time the Melohman vibes come from Austria, land of the wild – yet highly domesticable – Oinky Poinky specimens. The Oinky Poinky Demixed track was done using only the Symptohm:Melohman synth and fried sugar’n'nutella toasts. The chilled melodies tells the blurred visions through a Vienna’s subway window during a 5 minute ride in an Autumn afternoon in direction of LoFi Records office…(picture below)
Denis Klutch is an ohmfriend from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He’s a former chiptune/tracker composer, but there’s a piece of gear that made him come to the DAW+plugin side of the force. Beside kick and snare sounds, which have been created with his Waldorf Attack, all his tracks were made with Symptohm:Melohman Performer Edition. There’s a remix for Sasha’s Mongoose and another for Beastie Boys’ Body Movin’ – among some other lo-tek tunes..
You might have already seen the two official Ohm Force tutorials but, lucky you, until today you’ve never been able to watch these unreleased scenes. Candles, satanic rituals, external shooting and dance steps. With this “The Ohm Side of the Moon Vol.1″ you’ll understand that the Ohm backstage is actually frightening froody, despite the brain damage that coding plug-ins can make. Beware, there will be more never-before-seen footage during next weeks and months…
Zombies have always been excellent company for a weekend. A point of view that our ohmfriend John H. Van Eaton very probably shares, specially after his recent work on the FX and soundtrack for new Urbanchillers’ horror comedy movie “E-Discordia Dating for Zombies & the Undead” trailer. A lot of Symptohm:Melohman, several Ohmicide:Melohman spices, some Quad Frohmage sugar and a loads and loads of blood!
Being a Celldweller fan. It’s the kind of thing we think that happens only at other people’s families, until the day we surprisingly see it happening within our own kingdom. And what should we do, then? Well, if you think we’re going to lock a friend in one of Ohm Force cave’s abandoned dark rooms and feed him with a defrosted pizza, you’re completely mistaken! We’re open minded people and we do accept – and respect – our friends as they are. The proof is that we’re even sponsoring FIXT’s current Celldweller remix contest, which offers prizes from Ohm Force, Fabfilter and Cakewalk: if you appreciate his electronic-and-almost-trance-metal-rock, don’t miss this opportunity to have fun, show your skills and grab some gear. Nevertheless, Klayton/Celdweller is a first-time Ohmicide:Melohman user, what shows that he’s indeed a clever guy. And it’s true that he sculpted some very nice distorted landscapes in his tunes, which fits very well with his…. euh… we better stop here, otherwise you’ll start to think that there’s more than one fan here. Not at all, everything is under control!
