			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One can argue if you should use a plectrum or not when playing the guitar. And does it even matter as long as you get the sound you want? Classical and flamenco are typically finger played and many argue that a heavy guitar riff can&#8217;t be played without a plectrum. Some guitar-kits even come with a plectrum included.</p>
<p>The bluesmen seem to have a different approach.</p>
<blockquote><p>When playing with a plectrum you have three fingers left, why not use them too.</p></blockquote>
<p>Most of the time I prefer playing with my fingers. Watch the video!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ja, alla bär vi väl på våra tillkortakommanden (jag gillar verkligen det ordet, det är ett väldigt stiligt ord för något ganska lågt eller rentav &#8220;banalt&#8221;). Fast det är faktiskt inte &#8220;banalt&#8221; med tillkortakommanden, det är många gånger de som gör oss starkare och klokare.</p>
<p>Jag kan förstås göra listan lång, men just i det här inlägget tänkte jag berätta om albumet som aldrig blev klart. Waterlilies, innehållande 14 låtar, blev klart under 2004. Vi upptäckte att det låg något beundransvärt i att ha gjort ett HELT album och inte bara en demo. Överambitiös som jag är var jag förstås genast på jakt efter mitt äkta &#8220;sound&#8221; och skulle naturligtvis göra ett nytt album. Jag hade gott om låtmaterial och började spela in med detsamma. Demomaterialet hade vi med oss till Indien när vi reste dit 2005 och däribland gömde sig den oslipade &#8220;Rachel Green&#8221;.</p>
<p>Vad var det då som gick fel? Varför kunde jag inte bara pressa ut ytterligare ett album? Alla popstjärnor tycks ju klara av minst ett per år (fördomsfullt, inte sant? Men du förstår poängen&#8230;) Mja, eventuellt kan det ju vara så att de inte gör allt själva (körer, klåpar ihop piano, stråkar, bas och syntar med sin keyboard)? Och eventuellt kan det ju vara så att de också tjänar en slant på det och därför inte behöver ha flera karriärer löpande samtidigt? Oj, det lät ju nästan bittert! I så fall får jag be om ursäkt, det var inte alls meningen. Jag tycker väldigt mycket om att ha flera karriärer samtidigt, men det måste naturligtvis påverka mitt musikskapartempo. Faktum är att det är tack vara flera karriärer som jag får min inspiration, för att inte tala om att jag kan behålla musikskaparglädjen. Det är en hobby, inte ett arbete. Vad jag glömde bort då var helt enkelt att ta en paus OCH att hålla rätt tempo. Det är först när jag har fått pausa och tänka efter som energin kan bubbla upp igen.</p>
<p>Resultatet av mitt icke-pausande blev flera låtutkast med skavanker som jag aldrig riktigt orkade göra i ordning. (Bortsett från &#8220;Rachel Green&#8221; förstås). Flera av dem tycker jag mycket om, men förknippat med dem vilar en trötthet och det är nog just det som gör att jag fortfarande inte har orkat färdigställa dem. Det är lite synd.</p>
<p>Petals kallade jag till sist albumet, efter att ha begrundat några olika alternativ mycket noga, men det blev inte klart för det. Blomblad bara, inte en hel ros. (Den här sista liknelsen kom jag på nu faktiskt&#8230;)</p>
<p>För att du också ska få en chans att lyssna på utkasten har jag lagt till dem i låtlistan. Här finns bland andra &#8220;Loneliness&#8221; och &#8220;You Can Be A Rose&#8221;.</p>

<p>Just click the one you like and save it and set it as your background (don&#8217;t strech it, just repeat it and the pattern will create a psychedelic background).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a long time home for me has been <em>www.neitcho.com</em>. I&#8217;ve decided to let this time come to an end now, since nowadays this blog carries all my musical adventures. The forum on the neitcho.com site at some point grew and became larger than the site itself. Therefore the forum will live on under the new URL <a title="Spontandikter" href="http://www.spontandikter.se" target="_blank">www.spontandikter.se</a> led by &#8220;authoramateur&#8221; Magnus.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1737" href="http://enchantedduo.com/www-neitcho-com-is-no-more-but/neitcho-com_header"><img class="size-full wp-image-1737 alignnone" title="NEITCHO.COM_HEADER" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/NEITCHO.COM_HEADER.jpg" alt="" width="839" height="132" /></a></p>
<p>Why <em>neitcho</em>? How did it start?</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1747" href="http://enchantedduo.com/www-neitcho-com-is-no-more-but/foreignworldcover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1747" title="Neitcho - Foreignworld CDcover" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/Foreignworldcover.jpg" alt="Neitcho - Foreignworld CDcover" width="150" height="150" /></a>A friend used to call me <em>Nitcho, </em>a name of a mafia movie character. To suite me better I added the letters <em>&#8220;ei&#8221;</em>, and that with a German pronunciation would be <em>Night cho</em>.</p>
<p>After a while I added my surname which gave: Neitcho von Knorring. As you can see on this site I use my real first name Nikolaus when authoring, but for the last two years I&#8217;ve been referring to my musical self as one half of Enchanted Duo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jag måste erkänna att jag tycker det är lite spännande med statistik. Därför vill jag visa hur besöksstatistiken har sett ut för bloggen under 2011.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1683" href="http://enchantedduo.com/statistik-for-bloggen/statistik"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1683" title="Statistik" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/Statistik.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="283" /></a><em>Unique visitors</em> visar antalet unika besökare per månad. Det vill säga om du besökte bloggen i början på januari och sedan återkom 3 gånger under samma månad, har du påverkat detta värde med 1 gång.</p>
<p><em>Number of vistits</em> visar alla besök av en besökare. Det vill säga om du först besökte bloggen i januari och tidigast en timme senare igen besökte bloggen så har du påverkat detta värde med 2 gånger.</p>
<p>De flesta besökarna av bloggen under 2011 kom hit genom att skriva in enchantedduo.com i webbläsaren eller via ett bokmärke. Näst flest hittade hit via en länk från en anna webbsida och en procentuellt mindre del hittade hit från sökningar i en sökmotor.</p>
<p>Några av de populäraste hänviningarna från sökmotorena gjordes från dessa sökord: (Om du är en flitig besökare av bloggen kan du säkert härleda dem till specifika bloggposter.)</p>
<p><em>musikportalen</em><br />
<em>enchanted duo</em><br />
<em>näsapa<br />
glaciärer<br />
grooveshark</em></p>
<p>Några söktermer som är mindre populära med desto roligare:</p>
<p><em>dansa lindyhop bränna kalorier<br />
staty i västerås stora gatan 2a<br />

<p>My songs usually belong to a sad category – not pressing, not tearful – just a thoughtful sadness. I suppose I like sad. “It&#8217;s happy for deep people.” (Sally Sparrow from Doctor Who, third season, the Blink episode).  Don&#8217;t know about deep necessarily, but it&#8217;s happy for thoughtful people.<br />
Sometimes (or quite often, actually) I envy people who can make happy music. The kind of music that makes you want to throw your cloth and shoes and dance through your flat stark naked. Anyway, I don&#8217;t make music like that.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like sad music speaks to me. I just know how it&#8217;s going to be before I do it (pouting base, melancholic piano, weeping angel choirs – life doesn&#8217;t get better than that&#8230;) I know what it feels like. So, I guess I&#8217;ll never make happy music, unless it&#8217;s sad music pretending to be happy or happy music pretending to be sad which doesn&#8217;t really make it happy in the first place&#8230;</p>
<p>Then came “Pieces of Darkness” which nails it down completely. No thought or song has ever come out clearer, for me anyway. “Pieces of Darkness are Pieces of Gold” or as the Doctor Who team puts it “It&#8217;s happy for deep people”. But my “Pieces of Darkness” evolved long before I heard that phrase (I just couldn&#8217;t help smiling when I heard their version). It&#8217;s one of those songs I&#8217;ve played 150 times or more before facing the studio. And it&#8217;s one of those times it sort of grew and exceeded my expectations.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1647" href="http://enchantedduo.com/1-pieces-of-darkness-are-pieces-of-gold/grovelsjon"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1647" title="grovelsjon" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/grovelsjon-1024x239.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="149" /></a><em>Pictures</em><em> from Grövelsjön where we recorded the dripping water.</em></p>
<p>I took a brake from the song for a couple of years and it&#8217;s not until now that Nicko and I finally added his vocals, the electric guitar and some &#8220;real&#8221; drums. The &#8220;old&#8221; drums are quite fun if you care to examine them. In the background is the dripping from the ceiling  in a Lapp cot from Dalarna (Grövelsjön to be exact, don&#8217;t have the coordinates though, downer if you expected that kind of exactness). On top of the dripping I&#8217;ve recorded a bracelet, finger cymbals, claves, a triangle and some vocal s and sh sounds. A whole new audience appeared – turns out my cats love the drums (I secretly suspect the s and sh sounds). They come running as soon as I play it. I also went to see a girlfriend and her cats seemed almost as interested. I must from now on keep in mind to satisfy my cat audience too – who would have thought it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Releasing a song isn&#8217;t only about composing the song, rehearsing and recording the song, arranging it, mixing it and&#8230; done? Nope, it doesn&#8217;t quite stop there. Back in the days it was all about creating and selling records (well, for some it still is&#8230; but we independent artists try to keep pace with development). As many of you have noticed the way we buy and appreciate music has altered radically with the web, mp3 players and the new generation of mobile phones with services like iTunes and Spotify.</p>
<p>When it comes to art works it&#8217;s no longer about developing it for that one record with 12 or 15 songs. Now you create the art works for each song. I have to admit I kind of like that. It means that you can match the feeling and the atmosphere of the song in your art works design. Lovely! But you have no idea how difficult!</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a new song coming up any day now from Enchanted Duo and why not take a look at the way to the right art works? (I wrote the song some years back and started on it then, but haven&#8217;t finished it until now. That&#8217;s why you see my name on some of the first art works&#8230;)</p>
<h4>1. Cheap Bollywood with a cat?</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1604" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/pieces-of-darness_8cm"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1604 alignleft" title="Pieces of Darness_8cm" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/Pieces-of-Darness_8cm-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>What was I going for again? Cheap Bollywood with a cat? I swear it was not nearly as colourfull when I put it together in my mind. Then I was going for something a bit more spiritual, darker and with a touch of mother Mary.<br />
This&#8230; well, disaster!</p>
<h4>2. Flowers are pretty, but it&#8217;s not Mozart&#8230;</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1605" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/pieces-of-darkness_white"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1605 alignleft" title="Pieces of Darkness_white" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/Pieces-of-Darkness_white-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>It&#8217;s beautiful of course, but what are you thinking? Ah, it must be some classical music! Mozart, Bach or Vivaldi? Sorry, no, not quite&#8230;</p>
<h4>3. It is beautiful, but I kind of think of Celine Dion</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1606" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/pieces-of-darkness_gul8cm"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1606 alignleft" title="Pieces of Darkness_gul8cm" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/Pieces-of-Darkness_gul8cm-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I really like this piece of art works and in a way it really does reflect the spirit of the music for which it was made.<br />
It&#8217;s just that it reminds me of the art works for Celine Dion&#8217;s &#8220;The Color Of My Love&#8221;. Cute, but I don&#8217;t like to be a copy cat&#8230;</p>
<h4>4. Nature again&#8230; softy soft soft&#8230; aaand lame&#8230;</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1611" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/podapogcover1000"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1611 alignleft" title="podapogcover1000" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/podapogcover1000-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>You know, I tried to spice it up with the transparent faces (which just makes it look even more B), but it just doesn&#8217;t gives the edge that I was looking for. I thought the sprakling ice drops would illustrate the pieces of gold, but frakly it&#8217;s just boring.</p>
<h4>5. Funny, why not go for something funny instead?</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1607" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/cover2"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1607 alignleft" title="cover2" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/cover2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I can&#8217;t help loving this one, even if it&#8217;s not <em>the</em> art works for this song. In any case it got some of my dry and twisted humor and I smile when I look at the butterfly toungs!<br />
Maybe on the right track, but still a bit off! Let&#8217;s do one more!</p>
<h4>6. And then, bingo! Dark, creative and it leaves you wondering</h4>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1608" href="http://enchantedduo.com/art-works-that-doesnt-work/cover3"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1608 alignleft" title="cover3" src="http://enchantedduo.com/wp-content/uploads/cover3-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Had I known from the start I only had to draw a few lines I could have just done that&#8230;<br />
The song is creatively arranged and with the darkness present in lyrics, music and melody. The art works reflects this in a neat and simple way. I love it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Det hör väl till att summera året som har varit, klämma in några nyårskarameller och sedan blicka framåt. Bakom oss lämnar vi ett välfyllt musikår och frågan som vi ställer oss är väl egentligen om vi klarade vårt mål. Både ja och nej. I början av året skrev vi:</p>
<blockquote><p>Vad är då “En låt i månaden” – projektidén som Nicko kläckte för sådär   ett halvår sedan? Det är ett sätt att sätta lite press på skapandet, att   utmana oss själva och att prova allt möjligt som vi tycker är roligt.   Nu tänker jag strunta i allt som jag skulle kunna eller som andra  tycker  att jag borde. Ja, åtminstone försöka!</p></blockquote>
<p>Det har visserligen <em>bara</em> blivit 10 låtar (inte 12 som vi hade tänkt från början&#8230; även om de resterande är lite halvklara), men</p>
<ul>
<li>vi har provat lite allt möjligt från dans, video, ljudklipp och olika genrer,</li>
<li>vi har haft roligt,</li>
<li>vi har utmanat vårt skapande,</li>
<li>och vi har struntat i vad andra tycker att vi borde!</li>
</ul>
<p>Det är klart att jag gärna skulle se att resterande låtar också hade hunnit bli klara, men man måste ju ha något att se fram emot under nästa år också! Vi har lite idéer, men ingenting är spikat ännu så vi får väl se vartåt det barkar.</p>
<p>Vi kan också glatt meddela att <a title="Enchanted Duo on Spotify" href="http://open.spotify.com/artist/5zOwUn3Wr8qJ7s0NtWusfa" target="_blank">årets låtskörd nu finns tillgänglig på bland annat Spotify</a>. Gå gärna in och lyssna!</p>
<p>Vi vill också passa på att tacka dig som har följt oss under 2011 och hoppas att du kommer att fortsätta titta in under 2012! Vi hoppas att du får ett riktigt fint 2012 och för att fira lite extra kan du här nedan ladda ner vår senaste komposition &#8220;When I Wish I Wish&#8221; som ringsignal till din telefon. På återseende!</p>
