Dinosaur Album finished!

At last! I have finished recording, mixing and mastering “Dinosaur Songs”. I’m so happy. I’m uploading the files right now to my distributor. Normally, it takes a few days for the songs to get processed before they are released on online music stores like Itunes or music streaming services like Spotify. I’m really excited to finally let you hear the result.

I’m sorry I had to postpone the release for so long. I know some of you have been waiting eagerly for the album to come out. All I can say is: it was worth it. I took that extra time to make sure I felt really really good about each song. I hope you will enjoy listening to my dinosaur songs as much as I enjoyed writing and recording them. I really had a good time. At times, I was just busting up laughing in the studio while recording vocals and trying out different voices and wordings. I love music. And dinosaurs!

Running from a T.Rex video is going viral

I uploaded the video for “Running from a T.Rex” a few months ago. It was the first song that I finished for the “Dinosaur Songs” album. All of a sudden a few weeks ago the video started getting more and more views and today I saw that it had been seen by 100.000 people. Wow! I’m thrilled.

Thank you all for watching my video! This really inspired me to make more videos in the future. It also made me set a deadline for the album release. The release date for “Dinosaur Songs” is thus set to July 1st 2013. Stay tuned, and keep running!

The Smallest Dinosaur – a Teeny-Weeny “Tinysaur”

I’ve recorded the third for the dinosaur album. It’s not about one of the big sauropods and it’s not a about a T-rex this time either. This song is about the smallest dinosaurs there ever was – a Tinysaur named Paul. Some say the tinysaurs never existed because they have not yet found any tinysaur bones of fossils, but I bet they existed. They were about the size of a spore and they were impossible to see. However, they made a peculiar sound so the only way you could tell there were tinysaurs around was by a gentle buzzing in the air – sort of like a mix of a mosquito and a bumblebee. The tiny dinosaur – or “tinysaur” – in this song is a lonely little fellow. He seems to have lost all his tinysaur buddies and now he is wondering if there is anyone else like him out there. Poor little guy.

Tyrranosaurus Rex – Breaking Everybody’s Necks

Right now I’m working on a song called “Tyrannosaurus Rex”. There is already a song called “Running from a T-rex” and this new song will explain why any sane person would run like crazy whenever they see a Tyrannosaurus coming. “Tyrranosaurus Rex” is a rock song with a a lot of attitude. I tried recording some of the vocals today but I immidiately got hoarse and had to stop. It’s hard on your vocal cords when you try singing like a T-rex. Anyway, I’ll let you know how things are going.

“I’m Tyrranosaurus Rex – breaking everbody’s necks!”

Dinosaur Songs – a very, very old album for kids and their parentosaurs

Hello everyone!

This is my first blog post. I’m Daddy Donut from Sweden and I make music about things I love. Right now I am deeply in love with dinosaurs. So I’m recording an album full of songs about some of the greatest creatures that ever walked the earth: Brachiosaurus, Brontosaurus (I know it’s an old name but I still like it), Pterodactyl (yes I know, technically not a dinosaur) and of course the terrifying T-rex (Tyrannosaurus Rex). I’ve also written about some lesser known dino species like the selfish “Egosaurus” and the itsy bitsy “Tinysaur”. I really hope kids all over the world are going to like the album when it’s finished. A lot of love and effort has gone into this muscial project.
