Butch Vig ends in June his work on the new album of Foo Fighters
Sacado de // From –> http://portalternativo.com
Butch Vig se pasó ayer por los estudios de la KROQ (vía Alternative Nation) para hablar de los planes futuros de Garbage y el trabajo que está haciendo con el nuevo disco de Foo Fighters.
Espero terminar el (trabajo) de Foos para finales de junio y probablemente volver al estudio y terminar el álbum de Garbage para Acción de Gracias. El año próximo será un gran año para Garbage. Es nuestro vigésimo aniversario así que habrá una gran gira y un nuevo álbum y algunas otras cosas especiales en las que estamos trabajando para, de algún modo, celebrar nuestro aniversario.
En cuanto a su trabajo en el nuevo disco de Foo Fighters que, como sabemos, parece ser se ha ido grabando en distintos estudios del mundo, no da demasiadas pistas.
Lo hemos encarado de manera bastante diferente. Nunca he hecho un disco así. No sé si nadie ha hecho antes algo así. Le hemos metido el factor x ahí – forzándonos a ser espontáneos y estar al máximo nivel. Así que ha sido un reto divertido.
IN ENGLISH
Butch Vig discussed upcoming Foo Fighters and Garbage albums in an interview on KROQ yesterday.
Garbage has currently been working on their sixth studio album for about six months and they have dramatic plans for next year, the band’s 20th anniversary together. Vig says that they have about twenty song ideas “in the can.”
“I’m hoping to finish the Foos [Foo Fighters] by the end of June and probably go back into the studio and finish the Garbage album by Thanksgiving, ” said Vig. “Next year is going to be a big year for Garbage. It’s our 20th anniversary. So, there’ll be a big tour and a new album and some other special things that we’re working on to sort of celebrate our anniversary.”
He’s being even more vague about his work with the Foo Fighters, but says they’ve recorded for a while “if you include pre-production.”
“We’ve taken an approach that is quite different.I’ve never made a record like this. I don’t know anyone who has,” hints Vig mysteriously. “We sort of through a x-factor into the process that is forcing all of us to be spontaneous as well as really have to be on your a-game. So it’s been a challenge and fun.” He makes sure to clarify that the songs, while containing some unknown equation that we will all eventually find out, are “great” and “sound epic.

Neil Young presenta el formato de audio del siglo XXI
Neil Young Unveils His New Pono Music Player
Sacado de // From –> http://portalternativo.com/ – http://gizmodo.com
Neil Young lleva tiempo trabajando en su propio formato de música digital que vendrá acompañado de su correspondiente reproductor. Coincidiendo con el South By SouthWest, la empresa encargada de su desarrollo, PonoMusic, presentará en sociedad “la música digital de mayor calidad para consumidores apasionados que deseen experimentar la música del modo en que preveían los artistas, manteniendo intacta la emoción, el detalle y la fuerza.”
Eso se resume en un nuevo formato musical ‘lossless’ (es decir, sin pérdida de calidad) y su propio reproductor portátil con 128 gigas que permitirá almacenar “de 100 a 500 álbumes, dependiendo de la resolución y longitud de la grabación original.” Para los que crean que los gigas se les pueden quedar pequeños, el reproductor admite tarjetas de memoria.
El precio: 399 dólares. A partir del 12 de marzo se podrá reservar vía Kickstarter a precio reducido.
IN ENGLISH
The digital-to-analog conversion technology is, apparently, intended to «present songs as they first sound during studio recording sessions» according to Rolling Stone. Quite how that works is anybody’s guess at the moment—as is whether it actually works particularly well.
The player that Young showed off on TV is… well, unique, to say the least. A big, bright yellow triangular prism, it looks a bit like a tube of candy. Controls look pretty minimal, the screen fairly small and there seem to be two headphone sockets, too, by the looks of things. All in, it looks kinda wacky, and a far cry from the sleek lines of the modern gadgets we’re used to.
According to Rolling Stone, one of the few people to hear what a difference Young’s technology makes is Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. He explained that «it’s not like some vague thing that you need dogs’ ears to hear. It’s a drastic difference.» For now, we’ll reserve judgement.
