Status Report #10: 27th of July, 2025

-

We -were- meaning to do something other than a sky-photo this time around, but then just the evening before we wrote this post, this masterful oil painting appeared to the west.🤷

 

 Gooooooooood morning Vietnaaaaaaaam! And other countries, too!

 It's Amalia here, and it's time for the 10th Status report!

Meaning we've been doing this for the past 20 weeks! Which sounds like a lot, but actually isn't even half a year. Huh. Well, anyways. Let's start by telling you all about our...

 

Musical endavours!

 

Many a thing is happening, here!

Our next song, "Thunder Stag" is fully mixed, just needs mastering to give it that final little touch.

Just yesterday, we also created a cover for it, and started work on some visual assets that we'll need for the release. Got a bit of a new strategy, with a number of shorts/reels to produce and release along with the song. Some DIY promotion work, basically. 😉

 

We've also been firing on all cylinders with this blog! Michael's looking to finish a post he's been writing, today, and generally, we've got a number of posts in the works.

Blogger's currently being a bit wonky when it comes to uploading images, but we'll work it out, i'm sure.

But yeah, generally speaking, when it comes to our activity as a musician/content creator, we've been quite busy, and you'll see the fruits of those labors in due course. 🙂

 

And as for our....

Non-musical endeavours!

  

We've been ab-so-lutely posessed by Call to Arms: Gates of Hell, lately.

Not sure if we told you, but our original plan was to play through the campaigns of the OG Call to Arms (the modern day one), then move on to Gates of Hell, but to be honest, with Gates of Hell looking 10 times more fleshed out and solid, and OG CTA being a bit of a B-Game, we sorta dropped it and went straight to Gates of Hell.

And by jove, it's digital crack, well tell you!

That game combines the "interactive museum"-vibe of War Thunder, the sheer fun of playing a well-made game (that isn't trying to extract all your money), and for Michael especially, it also has the power of nostalgia, conjuring up memories of cozy evenings after school, playing Sudden Strike, Blitzkrieg and Soldiers: HOWW2. Very, very good.

Playing a German dynamic campaign on the western front ATM. So many Shermans!

Also, the horrible heat wave has ended and been replaced by a thunderstorm every other day, which is a little unfortunate, but ultimately still an improvement.

 But yeah, aside from that, there's not too much to report on that side of things. Been busy being productive! 😉


So yeah, a bit of a shorter report today, but mainly because things are going quite well for us. Hope they are for you, too! 😀

 

 See you next time!

Rollerskates, graffiti and a god-tier soundtrack: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

... is what we'd recommend you do with this game.   Heya, Michael here.   So, a little while back, we found that the original Jet Set Radio was on Steam.   This was quite the thing for us to learn you see, because JSR is one of those games we've often heard about, but had never had a chance to actually play.   A shame, because it's got a much vaunted soundtrack, and unsurprisingly for a musician, we're are a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to games with good soundtracks!   But yeah, we learned it had been on Steam for years, and was actually gonna get taken off the store, soon (it has been, by now).   So needless to say, we bought it while we could, and jumped right into it, having an absolute.....   .....ly awful time with the gameplay.   Yeah, sorry if you're a big fan of JSR, but you've gotta face it, man, it's the nostalgia doing it for ya. Because hopping into it as a fresh player in modern times? Maaaan, it feels clunky as all heck t...

Our music listening habits

-

    Greetelings everyone, Amalia here.    So, we figured that, seeing as we're a musician of.... indeterminate genre, some of you might (hopefully) be interested in what sort of music we actually listen to, and our general habits with that.   Now, you'd perhaps think that someone who makes music themselves would probably listen to tunes 24/7 and live and breathe music, but that's actually quite far from the reality, here.   See, we don't actually listen to music all that much in life, in the grand scheme of things. Typically, in the mornings, we prefer the quiet, enjoying some peaceful time for contemplation and meditation.   Our workplace is an industrial firm, but unlike many such places, the higher-ups don't want radios playing around the shop floors. Seems daft to us, since it's known to increase productivity in those kinds of settings. But alas.   Now, when we get home in the evenings, that's our prime time for music listening. When we're get...

Our visit to Thomann, 13th of June '25

  Howdy folks!   So last month, we visited Thomann! Again!  It was our second time around. We didn't have a blog to write about it last time. But this time we do, so we shall tell you a little about our visit and the stuff we brought home with us! 😀    Well, to get us started, if you don't know, Thomann is a musical instrument and equipment vendor. One of the biggest, actually. They're mainly known for their online store , which has a rather chunky selection of various bits and bobs, from really fancy guitars and PA systems to little curios like this .  And no, this blog post isn't sponsored or anything. We just wanna tell you about our visit.😉    So anyway, a little curiosity when you want to visit Thomann's actual shop location is that it's..... *really* out of the way. It's in a small settlement called "Treppendorf", here in central Germany. The funny thing is: We actually live only about an hour's drive away, and yet we really can't g...
