Guitarist for new CULTES DES GOULES needed

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Dear Friends,

I have few parts on my new CULTES DES GOULES recording which needs some guitar tunes. If you or a friend of yours can play guitar (quite simple stuff), play midi and record wave/aiff files on your computer, contact me.

Its 3 or 4 songs which need guitars. As already said, its straightforward and simple.

Cheers,
Cy

Apple Logic 8 arrived!

Saturday, May 9th, 2009
Logic opened

Logic opened

What you see above is Apples Logic 8 – I bought it before a while and installed it on my Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo (not to be confused with Intel Core 2 Duo!!) and 2 Gigs of Ram. I was afraid that it won’t work with my old box, but gladly everything turned out well!

Logic 8 runs like a dream – it seems that it doesn’t need more performance than Logic 7 did. I have composed simultan between 5 and 15 tracks with both, mixed audio and audio instruments. No problem.

As far as I can say I don’t miss anything. Tons of synthesizers are included. The GUI is very intuitive and I like it MUCH more than the old one. It reminds a bit on GarageBand, but more profesional.

At least – i expected that and I am so happy that I finally have done it. Recommended!

My new CD will be finished with that Software now :-)

05/2009 Ghul Productions News!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Dear friends, living or dead,

it’s may and unfortunatly this means that the sun reigns over the world. Good ghuls like me try to stay in their catacombs and feast on the living. And some more, as you can read in the following news!

However, in the time of daylight I thought lots about todays music scene. For music like GHUL PRODUCTIONS publishes it it is difficult nowadays. There are tons of other bands out there and usually GHUL PRODUCTIONS stands for strange and weird stuff. I am not doing real CDs anymore. On the first day BARATHRUM has been released, it was available in the net for download (without permission of course). But no harm has been done – it’s sold out and the true die hard fans got a copy!

But whats going on with other bands on the roaster? CULTES DES GOULES is really to strange and the new recordings prove that again. You can hear yourself when it’s public available.

This leds me to a question: how should I release my music? I’m thinking about some collectors editions in a 100 piece edition and a free download for those who just want the MP3s. What do YOU think about such behaviour? Let me know!

But it’s a road till there – I am awaiting your feedback!

Till then enjoy my news and speak to you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Cy Ghul

*** BARATHRUM – LONG LIVE SATAN sold out ***

You read it in the letter, it’s sold out since the first day available! This CD-R has been a great success for such a small label like GHUL PRODUCTIONS is and I would like to thank the great BARATHRUM community and of course the band for letting this happen!

Actually nothing bad happens – everybody (I know so far) was happy with the music and I actually made a few bucks. But no, I don’t want to drive a porsche someday, this less money is going directly to the other release I plan this year. Anyway, thanks!

*** CULTES DES GOULES creates a split 7″ vinyl with FAUSTCOVEN ***

Yes it’s true. FAUSTCOVEN and CULTES DES GOULES created two songs together. You know, I am the sole CULTES DES GOULES musician and this makes me very proud to share vinyl with FAUSTCOVEN. Having that said, we allready have a label for this black piece – but this is still secret till the label announces this itself. Till then everything else is a secret. Even when this vinyl never comes out it was fun.
And as a bonus: I have been asked to play the drums for the FAUSTCOVEN side – and I did it!

*** CULTES DES GOULES records a new album for Halloween ***

Again CULTES DES GOULES – I am currently heavily recording the new songs of the new album which I plan for halloween 2009. Prepare for an ambient and strange album, more unusual than ever. Expect first demos in the next weeks!
