Blog: No More – Behind the Music
Because of the tropical climate and me working with all studio windows open to be able to cope with
the heat, the instruments are affected as well; in the morning, the guitar will be tuned differently
then in the afternoon simply because the wood of the guitar is affected by the temperature and
humidity changes.
I had started this song and had recorded quite a lot of guitar parts when I found out that

Blog: No More – Behind the Lyrics
The
lyrics
of this song (partly) originate from 2003. I had written a couple of verses worth of
lyrics for another (non-released) song, but never felt that they worked really well
with the song. When I came across them again, I decided to adapt these lyrics and add to them,
resulting in the lyrics that I have now used for

including Naom Chomsky, Vandana Shiva, Michael Moore and Naomi Klein.

New Green Machine
Turtuga Blanku has moved the
Green Machine
to a new location.
The studio-part of the Green Machine is still the same.
The solar system powering the studio is bigger one. There is even a small wind generator
to make use of the North East trade winds so that the batteries are also charged after the
tropical sun has set. Nice.
More details can be found here: Solar Studio.
