Taping for 13 years and based in Scotland we have the Scottish taper “Jamroom” that has been recording many bands and concerts, yet with Corona hitting the world in 2020 and no recent concerts to tape we thought that we should see what “Jamroom” has been up to in 2020 and as well as in the past. First of all, how are you doing in these extraordinary times with Corona spreading all over the planet? I'm ok. Lucky enough to be working from home. Family is safe, so far. I hope all my taping friends are doing well and I'm supporting as many artists financially, that I can. I'm still spending too much money on LPs, some tapes and CDs, and lots of Bandcamp downloads. Trying to give some money to the artists who are suffering by being unable to tour to make money. Could you tell us a bit on why you started to tape concerts and some early recollections from the first year of taping? I started taping in 2008, which was really late for me. I was already a member o...

The american taper  James Freeman a.k.a " SxPxDxCx" has been taping countless concerts since 1999 and we thought to see what he´s up to in 2020 and which past taping stories he has to share with us. First of all, how are you doing in these extraordinary times with Corona spreading all over the planet? My wife and I are doing well in Denver.  We live in a very urban area  about a mile and 1/2 half from the main downtown center of Denver.  I'm a partner in a long running small business.  20+ years now. We do GIS, custom cartography, CAD, programming related to data and mapping.  My wife works in the legal marijuana industry manufacturing edibles and other parts of processing. I've been working from home since mid  March.  We have a small crew so I could have kept going into the office  the whole time and been safe I think but I was riding public  transportation to and from so I decided not to risk it.  I set up my...

Hilda Sandgren, grundare av MTA Production, har i samarbete med Sonika Studio och Bring It Home under 2020 startat en ny livestreaming-tjänst som skall hjälpa band och artister att nå ut i kölvattnen av Corona pandemins negativa spår. Vi passade på att fråga Hilda mer om initiativet och vad för planer som finns i nuläget samt i framtiden. Många band, artister och bokningsbolag måste i detta nu boka om sina turnéer på grund av Corona pandemin och de riktlinjer om max 500 besökare (Senare reviderat till max 50) i publiken i nuläget. Hur kom ni på idéen om att börja livestreama? Hilda: I kriser vill jag försöka se möjligheter. När Conny Blooms skivsigneringskonsert ställdes in så tänkte jag att vi kunde gör något i studion där han spelat in sin skiva istället. Jag gick igång på att kunna erbjuda något annat istället. Jag hörde talas om Daniel Josefsson som streamat ”strandsatta” amerikanska artister hemifrån och tänkte att det skulle kunna gå att göra snäppet bättre än det, om ...

From the city of Västerås in the middle parts of Sweden hails the band “Feed Me To The Waves” which plays intriguing instrumental rock. In late 2019 they released their latest album “Intill” and we sent over some questions to see what the band is up to in 2020. First of all, how are you doing during these current Corona times? Considering the circumstances, we're doing fine. It's obviously a tough and weird time for everyone, but as long as we're able to stay healthy we can't complain.   Could you tell us why you started the band and which goals you had when you first started out? In 2014 Tom and Robert, who played in another band at the time, was left musically stranded as their drummer moved out of town. To fill the void they set out to form a new band and after a couple of twists and turns "Feed Me To The Waves" was formed. Our goals back then pretty much consisted of getting together and play music we enjoyed. A lot of time was put i...

På ”RIA Hela Människan” i Motala så jobbar Daniel Persson som samordnare efter många år som pastor även i Östra Tyskland. Vi tänkte se vad som varit mest välsignat hittills under årens lopp samt vad Jesus har lagt för projekt i framtiden för broder Daniel Persson. Först av allt, mycket välsignat att du hunnit med så många projekt i Jesu namn under årens lopp. Hur började din resa med Jesus och vad minns du från de tidiga åren i vår frälsares tjänst?  Jag var mellan 10-11 år när jag tog emot Jesus som min frälsare. Jag är uppvuxen i ett kristet hem, men där, på ett sommarläger blev det så viktigt för mig att ta ett eget beslut att följa Jesus. Det kom från hjärtat. Senare på högstadiet och gymnasiet var jag ivrig att prata om min tro med andra. Ibland blev det rejäla diskussioner, andra gånger djupare samtal. Så även när jag senare jobbade i ett par varuhus, och jag vet åtminstone en kollega som senare kom till tro. Vad i de tidiga åren med Jesus har du haft mest ny...

Since the late 1970´s the musician and taper Scott Heller has been into the flow and service of music. If not playing music in various bands himself, then recording many various bands and concerts trough all these years from the audience. With experience from many decades and recording countless bands we sent over some questions to the taper-pro.                                                          R-09 - Digital Recorder. First of all we got to know a bit late that you also have been taping for so many decades, and if we´ve known earlier you would of course have been included in the new taping book “Tapers Of The World”. Let us know your humble beginnings as a musician and a taper and why you started to tape concerts? In the late 70s, when I moved to New Mexico, I became obsessed with music. IT was all I lived for. We had a great...
