How not to fuck up a music video release

by

Having fucked up many album and song releases, we’re finally getting a grasp of how things should be done. Here’s a brief list of things to consider when planning a schedule for a music video release. 1. Producing the song This is probably the easiest part of a song release. Songwriting is only 7% of … Read more

Scouting the Tytyri Mine Museum

by

Unzyme’s music video production team got a chance to check out the premises of our next music video, the Tytyri Mine Museum in Lohja. The crew consisted of Suvi Liukkonen, Artur Kazmertsuk, Sebastian Trzaska and me, Joona Nuutinen. We were greeted by the wonderful people of the museum – Minna Ermala, Jarmo Kuningas and Tuomo … Read more

Mind scan: Thomas Thanasi

by

I’m always interested in presenting new talent, so I decided to start a new series of artist interviews, called “Mind scan”. A promising young artist caught my attention at Budi Voogt‘s webinar. I thought it would be fun to do an interview with him. Tell us a bit about yourself – who are you, and how would … Read more

Song dissection: Trespassers

by

Trespassers is one of my more autobiographical songs. Sometimes it’s easy to write, if you just document what you’ve experienced. Musically Trespassers is from the lighter edge of the Unzyme spectrum – something that could be played on a plain piano. I quite like the solos in this song. The story, however, is the most interesting … Read more

The best band websites to mimic

by

Websites tend not to be a top priority anymore, which is a shame, because no social media profile can really do what a website does. A website is supposed to be the most reliable, coherent information source for your band. But that’s rarely the case. Band websites are more like social media link collections than … Read more

New Unzyme music videos to be shot even deeper underground – in mines

by

We’re going deeper underground. Or at least we’re trying to get permissions to shoot two music videos in two different mines. Suvi Liukkonen, the producer of the music videos, has started negotiations with First Quantum Minerals, a company that operates the Pyhäsalmi mine and Nordkalk Oy, which operates the Tytyri mine in Lohja. We’re also … Read more

Murderator – Ableton Live Glitch Effects Rack by Unzyme and Machine Interaction

by

Want to add some sparkling, rhythmical, dissolute and raging biomechanical glitch buzz effects to your tracks or live shows? If so, Murderator is for you! The original bleep sounds have been mined from a purposefully desecrated 80’s Hohner synthesizer. This glitch effect is perfect for experimental DJs, heavy electronic music and to impress your weird … Read more

First draft of the new music video

by

Sebastian Trzaska just sent me the first draft of our next music video. It will be very different from the other two we’ve released from the third album. We’re still working on a few alternative cuts, because the original idea, to show the events in chronological order, might’ve not been the best idea after all. … Read more

The key lines

by

I always write the music first, and then start working on the lyrics. For some reason, the original melody is so important to me, that I’m not willing to change it in order to write the lyrics more easily. I feel that if I replace the melody, the feeling of the song would lose something important. Relying … Read more

Unzyme at Slush Music 2016

by

Slush Music is being organized for the first time, as a side event of Slush – one of Europe’s biggest startup events. Slush Music brings together technology startups and music entrepreneurs. This sounds like a very exciting mix, and is something that we at Unzyme try to do. These days it’s very hard to make … Read more

Song dissection: Covered clearance

by

Covered clearance is a very special song to me. I like to explore and photograph underground tunnels and abandoned places. These photos are very much present in the album booklet, especially on Override. When I was composing Brainforest, I came across this beautiful photo of a tunnel with a hole in the ceiling. A story started to emerge … Read more

Bon Jovi – This House Is Not For Sale review

by

I can’t help but like the new Bon Jovi album – This House Is Not For Sale. It’s not an instant classic like These Days, but a fine album nonetheless. Like many recent Bon Jovi albums, this one also features a bit too many misfire tracks (Reunion and New Year’s Day to name a few). … Read more

Song dissection: Crush this relic

by

“Crush this relic” was the first Unzyme song to feature guitar. I have written some of Unzyme’s songs on a guitar, but mostly they’re born out of improvised keyboard playing sessions. I tend to write instrumental music first, and sing on top of that. I’m not the greatest keyboardist in the universe, so this workflow lets me … Read more
