A demo for your party playlist

I found an old song (from late 2007) that I gave up on for reasons now forgotten. I pimped it a little this weekend and thought I’d give you all a chance to hear it. To me it’s got a nice summer party feel to it. Hope you like it.

Feel free to download the song, if you like it.

Badly Crushed

I just posted a demo (omfg!) on my tumblr. I totally overruled the perfectionist in me and decided to publish this very not perfected piece of music. Maybe it’s the fever or just desperation to be heard.

I’ll be adding to this post as the song evolves. Maybe even post it here, after all this IS my official website.

I’ve also gotten awards for “Best Male Vocals in Electronic”, “Best Bass in Electronic”,
“Best Programming in Electronic”, “Best Beat in Electronic”, all in the week of 1 Dec 2008.

Enough bragging. Feel free to download the song from jamendo.com, no costs whatsoever, unless you feel like making a donation :)

Not Really X-Mas Cheer…

…but it’s better than nothing. When nothing better to do I record myself with my mobile. Just for my ears but the sound is actually kind of cool so I thought I’d share recording with you. After all it’s X-Mas :)

The Powers Of Superman

The World Climate Day!

To honor this day I’ve decided publish two songs related to the environment and climate change, well one of them is. The other one is more related to snow. But I find it somewhat relevant anyways.

Swedish Winters

This song actually is about the climate change. It a very sad goodbye to the Swedish winters, which will be gone unless we act soon (not just the Swedish ones of course). I guess in one way the market is already acting, as we might have to say goodbye to GM, Chrysler and Ford. I hope you like the song.

Som Snö

This song is basically the first song I’ve written in Swedish. It’s called Som Snö (it would translate to something like ‘As Snow’ or ‘Like Snow’) and is about a fragile relationship that is shaky but still very important and necessary. The snow describes how fragile the relationship is; if the temprature changes just a little, the snow will melt, the relationship will be gone. Like I said, it’s not directly about climate change but in a way it kinda is.

Sadly, I have found that there is very little information on the World Climate Day (or the UN Climate Day, as I think it’s called in Sweden at least). I tried to google it doesn’t give much. Spread the word, and more importantly, take care of our planet – as far as we know, we’ve only got one.

Feel sorry for me

It’s time to get some more music out there. I recorded this today.

I wrote this song when I was really down, last summer. My music career didn’t work out the way I had planned and I just felt like I needed to legitimize the way I was feeling. It’s really about very mixed emotions, I wanted people to accept how I was feeling and care and at the same time, self pitying is quite shameful.

Keep in mind that not only is this just a demo, it’s an acoustic version of the song. The final version will sound totally different. Exciting, huh? :)

The debut

I didn’t really manage to create as much attention around this album as I wanted to when I released it. Partly because I wasn’t feeling all that confident about it at the time, but I’ve listened to it a bit lately and it’s actually really good. If you haven’t it yet, check it out!

It’s quite all right, isn’t it?

Locked inside the studio

I’m listening to Amour Du Sol by Yelle right now, I love it! The feeling of the song is so summer. It’s got that air of happiness and brightness you know will only last for a while. Yes, I am from Sweden so I’m used to short summers cut up by rainy days.

The same nonlasting happiness has caught me this week. I just finished listening to the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I had already read it though, in August last year but I felt so sad that it all was over so I got the seven audiobooks and listened to them all. I know, geek alert, but it was as entertaining the second time around as it was the first. And this time when I heard the seventh and last “the end” it felt more like a happy goodbye than an abrubt ending to a long relationship. OMJ, I am really nerdy, haha.

Well, this rush of happiness pushed me into the studio and I began recording a song with the work title “It’s no good when you’re missunderstood”. I’m not sure the title will be suitable when I’m finished with it though since that line of lyric might be cut out. The problem is that the song I don’t quite get along. I’m not sure what I want with it and it just won’t get a mind of it’s own, some songs actually do and it turns into something of a cooperation. This can be dangerous though since they can sometimes “borrow” that mind from something I’ve heard on the radio.

I’ve been more or less locked inside the studio for the last two days trying to figure this song out, a waste of time maybe or just the time needed to get it right in the end. I will try again today and see if it’ll start work with me now. Keep your fingers crossed!
