the Midgard Serpent has let go of the tail…

New tattoo made today.

I made the picture myself and I’m very satisfied with the result.

It took 1 1/2 hour for the ink artist to create this masterpiece.

Thank you Olle and the others at East street Tattoo.

The picture shows the Midgard Serpent (Old Norse: Midgårdsormen), which is the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and the god Loke. According to the Prose Edda, Oden took Loke’s three children by Angrboða, the wolf Fenrir, Hel and the Midgard Serpent, and tossed into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround the earth and grasp his own tail. . When he lets go, the world will end, Ragnarök…

New track!

This is my latest song.

Welcome to listen and download for free.

I give you

Count me out

Count me out

In the mirror of imagination
I see a story with a different end
another actor and another play
To this matter I have to attend
sometimes I waited and sometimes I hoped
so many nights alone I had to spend
Chained by addiction and compulsory
of those old habits that we depend

gold around your finger
makes me doubt
a piece of gold is the reason
why you can count me out

I turn the page and read another chapter
There is a story of a different kind
but there’s something lurking in the shadows
Something that bothers my mind
A piece of metal proves eternal love
There’s no happy ending here to find
as long as we play by different rules
We will wander around both deaf and blind

gold around your finger
makes me doubt
a piece of gold is the reason
why you can count me out

a lack of confidence a lack of courage
a broken promise and a broken heart
to face the truth and reveal the weakness
a piece of act forever tear you apart
To leave the past behind and let it die
A new beginning and a new start
To keep on walking in the same old shoes
never prevent you from falling apart

gold around your finger
makes me doubt
a piece of gold is the reason
why you can count me…

Live…

I’d love to play live as Asatron. We tried some of my songs with No Jive but it takes a lot of time to nail the arrangements as I want them. And I think that a cover band should play covers. Sometimes I try to play my songs unplugged and it works pretty well. Think I’ll do some unplugged recordings, just for fun.  Sometimes I’m asked to play live but haven’t done it yet. I don’t have the time to put another band together.

 Yesterday I got an offer from Indiana. I said no… To far away.

The 17th I play covers at a private party and the last of November I play public at Grisslinge bar. The 1/12 I play and jam with the new band at a musicians party and in January it’s time again for covers in the archipelago of Stockholm.

I love live performances, the stage and the audience…

Autodidact, good or bad ?

I never took guitar lessons. I just bought a guitar when I was 16 and started to play. A friend of mine tried once to tech me some riffs but I can’t play things people tell me to play,

I have to find my own ways… That’s how I am… I went to a vocal coach three times but the same result… I like to try new ways of singing, not learn to sound like someone else. When I was young I went to piano class. That’s not a good idea because I never did my homework, I created my own melodies and the teacher went disappointed when I couldn’t play the pieces she chose for me… I spent six years in a music school which made me sing in the choir.

I was pretty good at that and got a job in the Swedish radio choir for one year. The problem was that I couldn’t, and still can’t read music. It was a little problem when we performed a modern requiem.  So how did I manage that? I remember…

And I have perfect pitch…

When it comes to creating music I just improvise. I’ve never read anything about music theory or composing and I never read anything about recording or mixing. I’m curious and not afraid to try and push unknown buttons. Of course it takes longer time that way and many mistakes are made, but I enjoy every minute in the studio and maybe someday my music will sound like the professionals’…
When it comes to music I’m autodidact.

When it comes to teaching, I studied a lot and still do…

Sometimes I wonder how it would be if  it was the other way round, if I was an autodidact teacher and a trained musician…

The band

I played with the band last Friday.

We had a stand in drummer which played with us without rehearsals…

He did great!

We had a lot of fun as always. I really like to play with No Jive!

Welcome back!

I’m very proud to be included in Polarbear Podcast! A Swedish podcast about Sweden! I like this a lot!

Listen to it here: http://www.polarbearpodcast.com/news/

Yesterday I played with No Jive at a private party north of Stockholm. Great gig!

Today I met some musicians who are going to start a new band and jammed with them.

My heart went crazy and lived it’s own life for two days… No rythm at all so I had to visit the hospital for ekg and blood samples.

Something’s wrong but maybe it’s just stress… I feel better now but I have to take it easy.

But I have to admit, it was a bit scary…

Inspired

 

 

 

I love my new studio!

I have a lot of things to learn the sounds are awesome!

I started a project and just improvised…

Now I’ve got a song which I like a lot!

I’ve found new inspiration.

Tonight it’s time for the guitar solo….

and I can use as many guitarrigs as I want without freezing instruments!

It’s a pity my vacation is over… Tomorrow I’ll be back to work.
