Updates: new record, new band

I made a song for a cover album by Apskaft. We decided to remake "Spice" by Spice Girls (plus a couple of bonus tracks), and we random assigned tracks to 12 bands. My song was Mama, and I made an industrial-goin'-to-japanese-naive-and-back avant-rock (almost unrecognizable) track.

Record is called Apskaft presents: Spice and is uploaded at Last.FM, plus I enclosed it in ./root: the singles compilation of singles by Hox Vox.

Meanwhile I started new sessions for Étoile, my new record.
This time I'll have a couple of bandmates side by side, they're Gert Breitenkamp (long-experienced drummer) and Sami Hotakainen (whose electronic solo project is Hotsam). We're starting to exchange tracks and refine the scheme I made 'til now.

We are trying to see if we work well together: if the experience will be positive (I think so) we join as a trio, so Hox Vox will be my solo side project and the main activity will be in this band.
