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:

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
