Inspired

After watching the film from the gig with Krakel I got inspired to record one of the old songs.

Hearing it was like meeting an old friend. I’d totally forgot this one but it was there, hiding among other diffuse memories from those days. It’s the third song about The Master and Margarita. The lyrics describes the part when Margarita becomes a witch and meets Satan.

So… I recorded the things I remembered…

The more I listen to it, the more I think it’s a possible hit.

Here’s the result so far… (Not mixed yet)

Feel fre to give me feedback, it’s still under progress.

Krakel the movie

Krakel live…

Yesterday we watched the movie from one of the gigs in the eighties.

Not so bad…  Some really good, forgotten songs came back to me.

Earlier this week we started the recordings of the first song for the single. We’re planning to release two or three songs this summer.

Sounds good allready.

I’m almost ready to release a new song with lyrics by Mike Lyzenga.

New music

It’s been a while since the last release.

But now it’s time. This one is a happy tune full of clishes and well known fills. But why not? I like it!

I’m specially satisfied with the clean guitarsound and the way I played the bass. It was fun recording this.

Listen, share and download for free.

Life is good

Last week I was in Budapest. I was invited by Microsoft because I’m an educator expert. I met educators from about 70 different countries and we worked together with projects and listened to latest news and interesting ideas. I also talked about one of my learning activities. The whole arrangement was very well planned and the service first class. The last evening there was a party at The National gallery, just for us.

I’ve learned a lot and got new friends around the world.

Back home I met the ladies for rehearsals and the band’s making progress. Today we nailed a very heavy song and planned for new recordings.

In the studio I have a project almost ready. some small adjustments and then it’s mixing time.

Wish I could play like that…

In March 2015 I heard them live at

a small club in Stockholm.

After just seconds I knew …

I recognise great music when I hear it.

I recognise great musicians when I hear them.

Now, almost a year later they’ll release their debut album and

today a video.

No, theese musicians are no rookies. They’ve played

with stars like Glen Hughes, John Norum, Michael Schenker and Joe Lynn Turner.

JJ Marsh, Thomas Broman and Robert Hansen is

Bridge to Mars.

Nailed the solo!

While waiting for inspiration I’m recording an old hit.

“Förföljd” is one of the last songs I created for Krakel in the eighties.

I also Think it’s one of the best.

We recorded it back then but the tapes are not playable anymore.

I love the solo part at the end…

For the whole song… You’ll have to wait until Krakel releases it…

Searching…

It’s getting harder and harder.

Working with a new idea in the studio but think it sounds like something I all ready did. Or maybe it’s just that I search for something very special and it’s very hard to find.

Right now I have three different recordings of the same idea… Not satisfied with any of them. Probably that means the idea itself isn’t good enough.

Better give up and start all over.

When there’s no flow in creating music, there’s no flow in life… Or maybe it’s the other way…

A last farewell

Another band died.

Lokalbefolkningen decided to break up.

All of us has other projects going on and there wasn’t enough time.

I will now focus on Asatron and Krakel and do some recordings with other musicians.

You can find the musicians from Lokalbefolkningen here:

When the tarot card shows death, it means a new start…

Hockey

Last saturday my friends in the band  Patchwork played at Sthlm globe arena. I was there of course. Great musicians and awesome songs!  It was a party to celebrate the derby between Mora and Leksand. I hate hockey but this was different from the Stockholm teams. No fighting. Just nice and friendly and party for twelve hours. Later, after the game, (3-0 to Leksand) Hammerfall entered the stage. I’d never seen them before and was impressed by the energy and professionalism they delivered. I met Joakim before on a stage in Orsa when we suddenly jammed together in the middle of the night…

The last act was Rydell & Quick. I heard the keyboard but no one played keyboards on stage.  I felt cheated.

It was an awesome party but I’m still not a fan of hockey…
