New Doppelplusungut Album - "World Under Gang"
After a two-year hiatus, dat zekt and me teamed up again for a new Doppelplusungut release. As you might have guessed from the title, we’re going all in on the end-of-the theme this time (yes, even more so than usual). Other than that, be prepared for the usual dadaist noisy punky trash fest.
Perhaps worth a mention is that our recording/editing setup got an overhaul this year, upgrading our two studio desktops to Linux Mint based machines. Yes, you heard that right - finally no more Windows XP at work at Aehm TiVi studios. While we encountered no major problems as far as the transition is concerned (aside from needing to re-do the setup on one of the machines because of a faulty hard drive), this means we’re stuck on “modern” Audacity now. I’ll probably do a separate post on that, so for now let’s just say we weren’t exactly thrilled.
As is the tradition with Doppelplusungut, “World Under Gang” is only available on CD in selected music stores. Get in touch with dat zekt if you want one (or with me if you don’t mind covering the outrageous Danish shipping costs).
Update: After looking into things a bit more, I decided not to publish my rant about “modern” Audacity. Apparently they’re working on an “all-new” Audacity 4.0, so I’m going to wait until that comes out. However, the recent additions of cloud and AI features, the massive pile-up of bug reports on Github, as well as the overall paradigm shift towards turning Audacity into a DAW do not inspire any confidence.
