Dreams Precede Everything
Our first child was a summer is a summer solstice child, and our second will be a winter solstice child. One in the peak of the flourishing year and the second to be the reborn light at the darkest time of the year. This time however, one is familiar with the pregnancy and thankfully my ...
Greetings to you all and may the shorter and darker days ahead burst open more light within all of us. This years summer solstice days were saved by the mere fact that it wasn’t raining. We took the opportunity to head out to the forest, to the animals and to the archipelago. Initially we had ...
In 2007 one of the main fun energetic albums was Mylla’s Vanya, which was released by Subliminal Sounds. On the 25th of August the same year I went to Stockholm led by a spontaneous decision after seeing the one-day psych festival announcement for Festen i Vinterviken on some artists Myspace. Vinterviken is a botanical garden in Stockholm and ...
The winter is gone already, and springtime is already here in Mostar. What else to call the time you already sit on the balcony and walk around in lighter jackets? We are rounding off our travels for this time, even though there's more than a month left there are practical stuff to begin with so ...
This compilation album is a fraction of the electronic music made in former (or current day imaginative) Yugoslavia. The album is rooted in the dreamy nostalgic visions and ideas that old and young x-yuggies have about what Yugoslavia could have been, could have become - not what it was or ended up in. One has ...
In August of 2014 I saw Dungen perform an amazing live music set to the silent animated film The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926). The show left everyone yearning for more, as the concert was so present, dynamic and rich in good psych vibes - and all Dungen lovers got the best out of the band instrumentally. ...
I want to keep an artists name alive in this post, it's Julian Jay Savarin. Who was a Dominican-British musician and released two amazing psychedelic rock albums and besides that also wrote some sci-fi books. He came to the UK in 1962 and studied history and served in the Royal Air Force. But there's really nothing ...
A favorite musical duo, actually a married couple, called Lerin/Hystad have released fine music and are hot up with a new album called Creatures of the Deep. The music is a skeletonian mix of elecetronic music with happy easy going tight drums, a kind of cozy lo-fi blip-blop intellectual background music. I mean background music in a ...
The past month I got the chance to see and hear one of my favorite artists live, Cary Grace (interview with her). She's just released a live album called The Uffculme Variations and posted a fantastic live concert excerpt from earlier in May this year. Hopefully there is more she'll post on YouTube from that May concert. ...
In this post I want to show some daily scenes and share a video collage of a day in Öland. Waking up is amazing in a house surrounded by nature, contemplating during while morning light scares away the night. The stillness and sound of birds and cows, the hot morning cup out in the cold ...
In October 2014 I wrote up something about the then freshly released album Evocations by Stefan Klaverdal. It was autumn and the album had an autumn feeling in it. Now, two years later, another album by Stefan is out called Meditations, once again October and once again with an autumn feeling. This time around he’s ...
Winds halted, gates seemed inviting, arrows flew and she was by my side. Sunday morning to evening was just great. We started off the day with music, as we always do. She takes me to the keyboard and we play - a great way to introduce a baby or child to music, just by exploring ...
Perception and presence in our time lines is equivalent to our vitality. Meaning that a vital person lives the time given and doesn’t treat time as a thief, but as a God given friend. When I hear someone say the years just run by, or that that they get less time or anything in that ...
Bed & breakfast No one can replace the bond a mother and a child have, especially a baby. The way mothers feed, clean, and just do those motherly stuff only mothers posses the quality of. I have seen this so many times, it's wonderful and the way a woman shines during pregnancy and later in caring ...
Spare me the time of an album sometimes and hand me some music straight up, as an injection for the day, a rhythm to make my blood flow better in the summer heat. Guess what, this greyish and very dull looking cover for the EP Det Stora Uppvaknandet (The Great Awakening) by Bottenvikens Silverkyrka plays tricks on ...
Here's a new track with an edited music video from the 1966 film Daisies by Věra Chytilová. I wrote the lyrics some years ago and finally finished a version of song with the twelve string guitar, shaker and some crunch to the mic for the vocals. Download it from my Bandcamp https://youtu.be/KsEhWo5LQQ8 God wins and you lose, God ...
Recently Slim Vic released a remix version of his album Force Majeure. I was part of that and really happy about my mashup. It's a fine album to begin with and several artists got their chance to lay their hands on it. https://youtu.be/imMAd9sTLJE Slim Vic's real name is Viktor and he is on the throne of the ...
