December

Well, the autumn has passed faster than I expected it to. Colourful autumn
leaves have disappeared and more and more snowflakes have been dancing
outside my window.

For me, it has been a busy autumn in a lot of ways. But I have also started
to look at some new ideas for a possible future album as well.
Whenever I find some ideas that feel good and interesting, and when I get
that "Ohhh, shiny..." feeling about it, it is probably time to start up the studio :)
Hopefully there will be a little bit of studio time coming up during the next
few weeks :)

Autumn

It has been a while since I last posted something here on the blog.
The summer is long gone, and the autumn has arrived here in Sweden.

Instead I have been spending time doing other things...
For example, it is always a good time to do some housekeeping in the studio
between projects. So new instruments has been bought and installed :)
Yay... Lucky me :)

I have also had the time to watch a few documentaries. So earlier this week I
got the chance to watch "A life in waves", a documentary about Suzanne Ciani.
Good stuff :)

Well, maybe that is enough for now...
:)

Forever is a long, long time...

Note to myself:
Write shorter songs.
Long songs take forever to mix...
:)

More Retro Space Jumper

Finally, the trailer for Retro Space Jumper has been finished!
The trailer features the final in-game music loop at the maximum BPM :)

The first in-game music I wrote was a slow ambient song. I thought this was a
good idea since the song had a quite nice sense of floating around in space. But
my friend who made the game wanted a song that followed the tempo that comes
with the increased speed in the game. So I started over from scratch and made a
few tempo tracks with only drums. Once the tempo track was done, I started to
write the music. I had never written a song before that goes from 45 BPM to 150
BPM in just over a minute...
Anyway, I decided to start the song nice and slow, and then add different
elements with time. I also thought it would be nice if the song actually ends up
being a nice melodic track once we hit the 150 BPM mark. I wanted it to have
this really nice I-want-to-hear-it-once-again feeling.
In the end I think it turned out really nice :)

Check out the trailer for the music, and please download the game here if you
want to play it :)

I have made some music

Yes, I know I am supposed to be hard at work finishing my new album, but sometimes other things come along that you want to do as well :)

I do like video games, and I am quite interested in how they are made. So when my friend asked me to write some music for his first video game, I couldn't say no.

Retro Space Jumper is a small retro styled endless runner type of game that is set in the vast darkness of space. And to quote my friend: "It's inspired by the classic games from when we were young."

Retro Space Jumper is available here as a free download ( or Name Your Own Price... ).
