In Transit

Today I have released my new short album In Transit. It is now available on bandcamp.  It features three songs and is roughly half an hour long. Maybe more like an EP actually... Anyway, please give it a listen if you want to :)

Otherwise things have been moving pretty slow during the summer, only one new song has been finished in the last month. A good song though. It will show up on one of the albums that are yet to be released later in this year.

Where Time Ends

So... The first album in my series of shorter albums has now been released.

Where Time Ends is now available on bandcamp. 

Enjoy :)

New Direction

I am about to start releasing a series of shorter albums recorded without using a computer. The foundation of each song is a live recording done in my studio with a few overdubs added later on. 

While things are not always perfect in these songs, there is something I do like about them. 

The initial idea for these albums was partially inspired by Brian Eno and his idea of still life music. The idea of making something that feels just like watching a river flow by or watching clouds move on a summer sky. Songs that keep the same mood and atmosphere throughout.

I also thought that it was time to fix a few things on this homepage. So I removed the discography and put a link to my bandcamp page in the menu instead :)

Broken Biosphere

So, finally I got myself together and released some new music :)

Broken Biosphere is a 33 minutes long journey into a futuristic post apocalyptic world. Atmospheric, but still full of melodies. Just the way I like it :)

Check out it at bandcamp. 

Long time no see...

So, lets see... There has been almost one and a half year since my last entry in this blog. Time obviously flies even when you are not looking :)

Music wise this has been an interesting period in my life. Music has for many years been one of the main things in my life. But sometimes it is important to contemplate the core things in your life and see if they still have a value to you. And that always leads to interesting conclusions about things that you basically take for granted. For me, it has been the question of if music still has a function in my life or not. And if so, what shape does it have from this point and onwards. The answer to these questions seem to be yes and many shapes. 

The many shapes thing is interesting. I have realized that I need to vary myself from time to time. I can't really make the same kind of music all over and over again. Therefore I have decided to go wherever shiny things that interest me are. So that might mean that the output of my work will take a little bit different shape from release to release. Now that does not mean that I will start to write bubblegum pop music or Japanese heavy metal. No, but there might be some more ambient releases as well as more melodic releases. And maybe some more electronic stuff as well. The road of music is wide, and there is no point to put limits on your creativity.

The first releases of a little bit more ambient music are Lost In Thoughts and Dreamlets which I released in the beginning of this year. These pieces have been floating around on my hard drive for quite some time and I just felt that I should release them. Just because I like them.

Another album that is upcoming is BB. It also has been floating around for a while and is almost ready for release as I write this. 

There are also a few older more electronic albums of mine that I still enjoy listening to. So at some point they will probably see the light of day again. 

And then of course there is more new music being worked on as well :)

Ok, that might be enough of writing for tonight :)

Re-releases released

My two previous New Age albums are now available as pay-what-you-want/free download on my bandcamp site. Listen and Download here.

The albums are available in different formats, normally mp3 320kbps should work fine. FLAC or WAV is a good option if you are planning to make a CD.

Re-releases

Very soon, my two previously released New Age albums will be re-released. With new album titles, new song titles and new cover art, the music will finally be available again.
