Just wanted to add that we just put up our first music video as well, if
anyone's interested!
It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJD1JWOTu4E
Unfortunately, it's not produced with FLOSS, but the music ofc still is!
Cheers!

Set, thank you very very very much for those words!
We're overwhelmed and
so happy for everything you've written! :D Thanks!
Dan: Mostly, it's the LinuxDSP plugins. A few drum-samples are also
non-free from different sample packs I've bought when starting out. The
good part is I'm slowly moving away from purchased drum samples in my own
productions, due to the excellent work of for example DrumGizmo (
www.drumgizmo.org) and the Salamander Drumkit etc. I think I used
Pianoteq for a few of the piano sounds as well, but I'm trying to replace
that as much as possible with free and open source piano libraries.
Haven't heard of RedIce, but that sounds very interesting! Could you
perhaps link me that? Thanks!
Julien:
With the background of Set's text, it might be a bit easier for me to
translate the titles now. I'll give it a shot, some of them translate
better than others, but I'll try and provide a small "context" to the
titles too:
1. Intro. Well, self explanatory ;).
2. Fler och fler. More and more, think "more and more people".
3. Ta min hand. Take my hand.
4. Då ser ni oss. Then you'll see us. Think "this happens, then you'll see
us".
5. Unstoptimus. Doesn't mean anything in particular, just a play on words
with Raptimus/Unstoppable.
6. Andnöd. Out of breath, or hard to breathe.
7. Tjäna man. Hey man!
8. Styrketår. Strengthening drink. Think having a glass of whisky or
something of equal awesomeness.
9. Sysselsättningens slaveri. The slavery of labour basically.
10. Raptimus Rap. Self explanatory :D
11. När du försvann. When you went away/When you disappeared.
12. Behov eller beroende. Need or addiction.
13. Woop Woop. Woop Woop! :D
Thanks again for all the feedback and the nice words, I/we really
appreciate it!

Hi all!
I just have to lay a good word about the Raptimus Prime lyrics, because
i happen to comprehend swedish.
This is not your average "wesh-yo-represent" rap! I mean this is REALLY
INTERESTING! Well reflected and controversial subjects, such as sexism,
immigrant integration, exclusion, the condition of our democracies,
contrasting of the fundamental values such as time, energy vs. money.
It's about the power of creativity, and how doubting this power gives
power to your doubts. It is questioning things in very intelligent and
poetic way. And the style-figures are very personal and freed from
dogmas. Also some of the lyrical flow phases have a notably impressive
velocity!
Now, obviously, appreciating lyrics or rap style is a subjective matter.
However, be assured i'm not some phreshly list-registered undercover
cousin, pepping the shit out of this record.
I'm a phreshly harvested FAN, pepping the shit out of this record! :)

Hi zth!
Wow! Nice work! I'm halfway through listening to your album now. In more
melodic or instrumentally/texturally complex musics, I'm often not
bothered about the lyrics but unfortunately I feel like I lose a lot
listening to hiphop in a language I don't understand, as its mainly
about the MCs and lyrics. Regardless, this is a very slick job you've
done and would seem the to be the pinnacle of FLOSS produced hiphop
right now, that I'm aware of anyway and I'm still enjoying listening
even if I don't know wtf you're saying!
What non-free stuff was used? You seem to indicate you didn't quite
manage a 100% floss production.
The first thing I associate with Gothenburg is RedIce - my fave radio
station; although maybe I shouldn't say that due to my involvement with
an English equivalent, Dark City Radio. Have you ever listened to
RedIce? You should! Its a superb radio show that interviews the worlds
most interesting researchers, writers and speakers etc on a variety of
fascinating subjects.

Since quite a while back, I've been a part of a Swedish hiphop group
called "Raptimus Prime" together with two of my good friends, and
we've just released our first album!
Even though few people on here probably know Swedish, maybe someone
finds it amusing anyway! :)
The album consists of 13 tracks, and was made 100% in Linux from
start to finish. I'm extremely happy and proud that we could make
all of this _almost_ exclusively using free and open source
software! We've recorded/mixed/"mastered" it all by ourselves,
mainly using the following software/plugins:
Ardour2
Ardour3
Some Hydrogen
Calf plugins
Salamander Piano
TAL NoiseMaker
linuxDSP plugins
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra
zita-dpl1
..and a lot of other stuff I've probably forgot to mention! ;)
You can find it at a number of different sources:
Bandcamp: http://raptimusprime.bandcamp.com/
Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/raptimusprime
PirateBay in various formats:
FLAC: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451980
OGG: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451976
MP3: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451978
It's also available at Spotify if anyone uses that.
..and since I'm not sure if torrents/the other links provided work
for everyone, here's a direct link for the OGG-version that *should*
work. Please let me know if it doesn't so I can fix it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19258546/RaptimusPrime-Styrketarar%5B20…
Lastly, thank you so much all developers/users of open source/linux
audio in general, for making this all possible!
I'm very happy to be a part of this community, with many more
musical projects to come! Cheers!
Kind regards,
Gabriel/zth
