My latest tune is nearly done so it’s time to play Name That Tune yet again. All of the music I’ve made has been named by Eve Radio listeners through these very contests. You can preview the song here:

Be prepared to have an awesome idea for a song title during my show Feb 27th at 0400 GMT. The best song titles get a chance to be voted on and the most votes received will win some ISK. Don’t miss out on this chance to become a part of Erkenhistory! Also, the light show contest this week will be in Hek. Make sure to strap an extra layer of armor (or cardboard for you Minmatar) to your ship to avoid the ganking that is sure to happen!

New Track and Other Updates

February 6, 2012

Hello Eve Radio fans. I’ve been a bit behind with my blogging lately. Sorry!

My permanent show time is now Monday 0300 to 0500 GMT. This is at 10 PM, Eastern Standard Time for two hours. For those of you who have tuned in lately, thanks for listening. You’ve been voting for freeform quite a bit and that happens to be my next song project as well. I’ve begun writing another track:

Please leave your comments on SoundCloud and let me know how you think I can improve this tune. Obviously, I need a longer main riff and a longer chord progression, but the main ideas are there.

See you out there in the Eve Universe!

December Update

December 15, 2011

It’s the holiday season and I’ve been a bit busy with family types of stuff which is OK. I was supposed to take over the Tuesday 0500-0700 GMT slot on Eve Radio but DJ Warr was placed there temporarily. If you haven’t checked out his show, then you should because he plays some great music. DJ Warr should be moving to another slot soon so I can take over, but this is just in time for Christmas and New Year’s Day so I won’t be able to do those shows anyway. Look for me on January9th (January 8th Midnight on the East Coast of US) at 0500 GMT for my triumphant return to Eve Radio!

Also, sorry my page was down for a couple of weeks. I was messing around with the directories on my server and screwed up my site. Make sure to check out the new “my music” page for Pulsar Rock!

The Erkenshow Moves Again!

November 28, 2011

I’m back from my European vacation and I’ve been missing Eve Radio. Daylight saving time has ended and thus my schedule is whacked. So I am moving to a new time, Monday 0500-0700 GMT. This is Sunday midnight for those of you on the east coast of the US. The format of the show should remain pretty much the same. At the start of each hour, I present some options for genres of music and you get to pick one for some live mixing.

Also, it’s time to begin making a new tune. I think I shall go with another freeform one. I just picked up a new synth for $40 at half price called Razor. I played with it just a little and it looks like it will definitely make some cool noises. See you all soon!

Pulsar Rock is Done!

November 2, 2011

I got around to mastering Pulsar Rock and the kick drums sounded real weak. It wasn’t caused by the mastering chain or anything so I just jacked the drums up about 6 dB and that seemed to fix it. You can now download the track with this link:

Pulsar Rock

I would post this into the “My Music” page but it’s a real pain in the butt the way I’ve formatted it now. I’m just going to redo that page and add the new link afterwards. Thanks and enjoy!

Pulsar Rock Has a Name

October 27, 2011

My latest tune is nearing completion. About all I need to do is some mastering and volume leveling. I wanted to make a hard house tune with a little challenge. Every sound would be created using Native Instrument’s Massive synth. So all the drum sounds and everything were all done in Massive. I gave myself one exception of using a single vocal sample. Once again, I played the song for the eve radio listeners to name for me. The following titles were sent to me.

Pulsar Rock
Exotic Night
Own The Floor
Synthesizing Madness

And the winner was “Pulsar Rock” sent by Leron Artimus. No doubt he’s running headlong into a swarm of Sansha now. Be looking out for Pulsar Rock on the music page soon!

Cool Light Show Video

August 16, 2011

Hi guys, here’s a quick update on things. I got an email from a Mr. Seth Alexander about a month ago. I have been far too negligent keeping up with my email. He sent a link to a great video from a light show. I must have had about 20 repair drones on my firetail that night! Also he set it to my very own Galaxy Resurrection tune which you can download for free on my music page.

Invincible Firetail

I’ve also seen the poll for what I should work on next and 3 of you would like another hard house tune from me. So, I will work on that one next.

Lastly, I had a little side project of an ambient tune. I’ve been using it during the intro of some of my shows lately. I’ve finished it and you can now get Exhaustion from my music page. It’s not super polished or anything too special but it’s nice for relaxing. Enjoy!

What to work on next?

July 18, 2011

I just finished Eternal Radiance, a freeform hardcore tune. What should I work for my next tune? It’s a tough choice, I have a lot of potential ideas for what I’d like to do. Help me decide!

Light Show Fun

July 14, 2011

We just got done with another Erkenshow and at the end of the light show, my disco makers decided to bombard me with tons of logistics drones.

The listeners had a bright idea to self destruct my shiny Firetail. I figured, hey that’s a great idea. The best gifts are the ones you can waste!

The madness continued while the SD timer ticked away:

As the Firetail exploded, the logistics drones sauntered off, confused about how such a buffed up ship might actually die. All in a good day’s work here at Eve Radio! ;)

Eternal Radiance Release

June 29, 2011

I got a chance to do some mastering on my latest tune which sorted out a lot of the volume issues and gives it a nice full sound now. Behold my latest track entitled Eternal Radiance which I first started about four weeks ago. It’s a freeform hardcore tune with lots of energy. Who will win, the darkness or the light? Listen and find out! You can download it here by right-clicking on the link below and selecting Save Target As. Later it will also appear on my music page.
