Bandmaster Powerhouse sample pack available

Posted on June 4, 2015 by Georgie Koch

Until recently, there was no sample pack for very rare drum machine Bandmaster Powerhouse, so producer Dan Radclyffe decided to make one.

Dan compiled the ‘Powerhouse Breaks’ library from the best fidelity machine/cartridge combination out of the two machines he had at studio Lion Aboard (before he sold one to a museum in Philadelphia).

‘Powerhouse Breaks’ has 64 awesome drum loops on 8x8track cartridges. All 64 complete loops (each one is 1-2 minutes long) come in a variety of different styles.

Gotye was one of the first people to buy a copy of the pack, which is seemingly of particular appeal to film composers. Even composer Vangelis used to have a Powerhouse.

‘Powerhouse Breaks’ is available at www.bandmasterpowerhouse.com for £19.99.

Guitar course introduced at Lake Malvik

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Georgie Koch

Miloco have partnered with Music Retreats to launch the Guitar Improvers programme at our Lake Malvik residential writing and recording facility in Sweden.

About the location

Lake Malvik is located in the village of Runemo in idyllic northern Sweden. Nestled in the tranquil pine forests, the studio has been built in a large detached farmhouse featuring three luxurious guest bedrooms that provide the accommodation for Malvik’s visitors.

Only two hours from Stockholm, Runemo is home to everything that characterises Sweden – mountains, sea, archipelagos, lakes, rivers, forests and wilderness, with its own distinct character and picturesque countryside.

 See other studio photographs here

The studio comprises of a huge naturally lit control room, live room plus some rather unique recording spaces across its three floors. A vast array of equipment and instruments from the usual to the not so usual are also at hand. Everything about Lake Malvik was conceived with the inspiration of the writing process in mind.

Ideas will never be short in this wonderful creative space.

About the course

The Guitar Improvers programme (17-21 August 2015 and 24-28 August 2015) is delivered as a five-day break designed to help participants improve practical ability and gain a better understanding of theory concepts in a fun, relaxing and inspiring environment at the prestigious venue in Malvik, Sweden.

This is also a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends!

Schedule (TBC)

The course content will be designed around the group’s level and their musical tastes as much as possible. Theory and technique will be complimented with a song or solo to learn as a group.

Early bird course price of £495 up to end of June and £595 thereafter.
