Alec Empire - Making of 'Shivers' + Interview pt.2

After the critical acclaim of 2008s, The Golden Foretaste of Heaven, Alec Empire releases Shivers, a 7 track mini album that serves up as a little taster for his highly anticipated new album out later this year.

This is the most recent output from The Hellish Vortex, the production team founded by Alec Empire and Nic Endo.

Last year, Empire announced a change in direction, a departure from his signature digital hardcore sound and called it The Sound of New Berlin. This sonic revolution has brought about an influx of hipster collaborations in the form of Raveonettes, who got their single remixed by Nic Endo and Alecs mutual pairing with one, Patrick Wolf, whos Berlin musings have led to the hotly tipped single, Vultures.


Past-Present-Future Tour 2009:
Alec Empire and Nic Endo present a special tour this year playing material from ATR to songs from the next album. Starting April 30th.

Lol. The "minus" is also called a hyphen.

Not making fun of your English, also I do love everything you've done.

[THVStudios]

yeah I know...I was still a bit out of reality from playing haha... in Germany you actually say minus for websites...(which I find annoying) ... my English is cryptic most of the times....

[Yellodoodle]

I only just found this...for several months ago: thanks for this! I love looking at people's music making places. I kind of want to live in that room-world of synths and computors...
