Hello everyone!
I've been working a lot on my project recently, and in the last year I made something like 75 tracks, obviously some are disgraceable...
I use mostly Audacity and Rosegarden, since I don't use heavy software production. It's a kind of music as is hehehe
My influences come across a lot of music. I've made, from metal tracks to industrial experimentations.
You can check my project on:

www.lastfm.com.br/music/Cerebral+Pain
www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Cerebral_Pain
The most recent tracks are available to hear at myspace

Nice songs.. and nice sound as well

I am completely ignorant about accordions but I find your project quite original.. specially nowadays that it is not very usual to hear accordions (at least in the type of music that I use to hear -> rock and variants)
The songs at myspace have reminded me a bit of the main track of the amelie's film.. accordion gives a special feeling.. maybe melancolic.
I believe that accordion has a very good potential to integrate into various kinds of music, giving them a very special feeling. It'd be nice to hear to some metal or industrial songs with accordion.
Greetings,
Gerard.

Do you know the band 16horsepower? Now wovenhand? They made some dark music and also used accordions, for example in the first song of their live cd 'hoarse' and the song 'Low estate'

If I am saying I only discovered Yann Tiersen a couple of weaks ago, probably nobody will believe me

Well, I have some really freaky tracks including industrial noises, and some tryies on metal. The album that contains all metal tracks is The Village Is Burning, the new work I'm doing at this moment that has plenty of industrial noises is currently on preview on my lastfm page. Thank you all for for the time spent listening to the music!

I like this guys music. My favourite accordion player is Kimmo Pohjonen. He's amazing. And a freak.

Neverd heard of Kimmo Pohjonen before. I checked some videos, and I'm really impressed. It's a great mix of lots of world music with elctronica. And Kimmo Pohjonen's way of playing the accordion is really freaky

Check out the youtube video of Kimmo at the Estonian National Opera. Kimmo is from Finland. Anyway, that video is amazing. It's the song Keko. In fact, here is the link..

I think he uses freewheeling or sooperlooper for the rhythm

I must be some kind of ignorant, I didn't know this musician
I really have much work on the table to get to the level these musicians have
