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

Love the synths and glitchy bits on Unstoptimus, any chance you'd write a
blog post on workflow of that kinda thing?
I'd appreciate it, and I think others would too.. -Harry

Hello Gabbe!
First of all thanks for an interesting album. And thanks for all the
different download possibilities. I used the torrent and it worked very
smoothly. This is very much appreciated!
So the album. I found it to be captivating. Not all the way through, but
there was enough difference and change between the songs, to be curious for
every next track. And my, there were a few surprises.
I love the occasional meditative passages, reminiscent of some of your
earlier solo productions. Very good wordplay as well. No, just joking. :-) I
don't speak Swedish. But sometiems it reminded me of nothern German speech
melody, comparing it to Fettes Brot in my mind. One of the last tracks - the
one with solo vocals most of the time - almost put me in mind of some piece
from Tuva I once heard.
Also the change in drumkits and arrangement - partly orchestral, very
electronic, acoustic guitar feel, etc. - was pleasant to the ears and mind. -
I had to smile, when I discovered, that you were able to recycle bits of
Change of Heart once more. :-) There were other movements, parts of riffs,
that reminded me of your handwriting.
One detail I stumbeld across in almost every song: why did you mix the
drumkits so quietly? Very counter-intuitive. The tracks do have punch, but
they could have had more of a raw edge of a drive with the drums mixed more
prominently. I recognise some Hydrogen kits here. :-) But thanks anyway, for
not using the TR-808 kit as so many hiphop artists appear to do in recent
years, not that I follow the scene closely. Perhaps they did stop doing so a
while ago. :-) Still, I'm glad to find the old school of percusive elements.
Yet as I said: not boring or repetitive amongst the pieces.
Nice work! I'll be listening to it again in portions. By the way, sorry for
not quoting tracknames, but there were a few characters, which I couldn't
interprete. I could read them, but didn't know, which letter of the alphabet
with which accent they were. I hope you will forgive me.
Thanks for sharing this album so freely!
Warm regards
Julien

Set and Jostein, my fellow Swedes, ett riktigt riktigt stort tack till er
båda! :D
Julien: Funny, one of the things I always look forward the most when
posting songs to these lists are your thought through and excellent
feedback and impressions, thank you very much! It's always a pure pleasure
reading what you have to say.
Hahaha you got me with A Change of Heart, I did manage to sneak that in
here too, like in everything else I've done ;). And yeah, you're perfectly
right about the drums, I will keep that in mind for the future, thanks!
Oh, right, the track names! I probably should've made some format where I
didn't have any of the Swedish special signs. No worries! I'll make sure I
think about that too in the future.
Thank you very much again for your comments! And thank you very much again
Set, Jostein and Harry, for your comments!

Hello Gabbe!
Never mind the Swedish accents. It's your language and they belong there.
Anyone else can see them, for what they are and if I had a little more
understanding of Swedish I'd know them too. :-)
I wonder, could you give a translation for all the song titles?
Kind regards

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.

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! :)

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!

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!

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:

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
