Music has always been constant in my life for as long as I can remember. My sister, who is five years older than me, always introduced me to new music when she came home – Bowie, Beatles, Queen, and Pink Floyd, everything that was fantastic in the '70s. 

When the punk wave swept through where I grew up, around 1978, we formed a punk band, and since then, I have played bass in various line-ups within pop and rock bands.

My musical taste has continuously evolved during this journey, and I have gradually delved into progressive rock. Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Marillion have been my musical idols. In recent years, I have discovered bands like Porcupine Tree and The Pineapple Thief.

Now, I have created my first self-produced EP with four songs. I played all the instruments except for drums (loops) and some sound effects, and all the songs are my own compositions. Martin Axelsson at MTMax Music has mixed and mastered the album. I sincerely hope that you will like it. Relax, lean back, and let yourselves be transported to another world. Thank you for listening!





 

Utrustning


Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that primarily developed in the United Kingdom through the mid- to late 1960s, peaking in the early 1970s. Initially termed "progressive pop", the style was an emergence of psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop traditions in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz, folk, or classical music.

Every time I made a song, I tried to create just that kind of song, but it always turned into something else until I realized that those were the kind of songs I was making.

Everyone may not have the same conditions, but everyone is born honest and without prejudices.
One is born with a talent; it's just a matter of finding it.

Music is not
just about listening; it should be felt and touch the soul. Songs that do not penetrate the soul are not good songs. The power of music lies in its ability to create an emotional connection and evoke feelings that extend far beyond the audible. It is in those moments when the tones resonate in the soul and the presence of the music is felt physically that one truly experiences its depth and magic.
