Lost and found.

Captain on board

I've been working a lot on being present in the moment. I'm reading a book called The Untethered Soul, and it's helping me to understand a way forward. For this song, I tried to emulate the feeling of trying to be present and stay in the moment. Overall, all the sounds flow together in a peaceful way, but there are so many little things going on that you start to single out one little part, but then your brain wants to focus on another little part that you didn't hear before. That's the general idea, interpret everything else as you wish.

What I Never Tried                                      

I finally reached a point                              
where it hurts more if you don´t.
I don´t want to get used to this 
new kind of normal.

I, I´m not gonna lie,                      
I would have liked
your kind of life.
But I, I will never find, 
what I never tried.

In a world full of isles,
no one is an isle.
Chasing after the invisible danger.

First things first,
unfinished symphony.
Leap over your shadow
and just get it.

About that, perhaps what I´ll find instead,
will be better, then I could have ever guessed.

What I Never Tried

There is a place in the harbour where I used to sit and watch the ocean. One day when I was wishing I was someplace else I thought about the harbour and the song just came that way. The vocal is a bit shakey but that's just me when I have to sing without holding a guitar!

Someday

This track started as a vision of a journey. For me it symbolizes the journey that I have started to reach my inner core. For someone else it may symbolize something else. That is the good thing about art in any form, it is the observer that decides what the art represent for them.

PROGRAM NOTE
My original inspiration for Embracing the Wind was the image of an Olympic athlete running against the wind. The process of writing this work eventually shifted me to more abstract thoughts, such as the concept of creating music that sounds flexible and has wind-like, ebb-and-flow qualities. I try to achieve this by creating musical zephyrs from repeated motives and smooth phrases that utilize gradual dynamic swells and subtle tempo fluctuations. In this sense, Embracing the Wind is perhaps more minimal and Romantic than many of my other pieces: minimal in that cells that are repeated over and over again as textural background, Romantic in that the form is intentionally less severe and also has a narrative, structural quality.

Project Isolar was created as a platform for all creativity by Gert-Inge Nilsson (b.1971) born and raised in Sweden. At a very early age Gert-Inge Nilsson began singing in the children's choir at a local church at age of six. Private singing lessons began at age of eight. Gert-Inge is trained in classical music singing both opera and German lieder and is a tenor. In  1994 Gert-Inge joined fellow musicians Bengt Rosberg and Peter Hallbäck to form a prog rock band called Domino. The band members began to go separate ways musically a few years later. It was then when Gert-Inge had joined a theater (1997) for a leading role, he began to write his own music to the play "Mans kvinna" by famous swedish writer Vilhelm Moberg performed by Kullateatern in Höganäs. 


Gert-Inge choosed to study and got a degree in social psychology and social work and has since 2005 worked as a social worker in Sweden. The love for the music and the need to express himself in a creative way has always been there along with studies and work. Gert-Inge decided to call himself Project Isolar when he wrote music. Project Isolar is in a way Gert-Inge´s inner journey for the love of music, expressing emotions both the joyful and the dark side of man. Somehow the music reflects the people he has met trough work who have been on the rand of despair. His own journey is well described in the music and as well in the art he performs. The spiritual journey Gert-Inge has done the last ten years has resulted in him becoming a Reiki therapeut. 


Project Isolar is inspired by several great musicians. Among those are David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Daft punk, Röyksopp, Orbital and Future sound of London. In fact Isolar was also the name of the 1978 tour by David Bowie.
