I am often guilty of tunnel vision while "being in the zone", working on my tracks - so I spent too little time scanning all the great work out there ... This playlist will at least not harm my possibility to follow others. 

By purpose a heterogeneous list with the common denominator that I liked these tracks. In many cases, each artist has many more fantastic tracks - all of which could be represented here. And maybe they eventually will! The main point, though, is that I can initiate the list and remember "Ah, that artist X, wow - I better take a look at the latest uploads there" - or why not earlier uploads. 

Timeless music, thanks - no trends for Mr. Svensson please

Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Lamentations (HoboCop & Cosmic Keanu)

This segment from my Ascension Symphony deals with a nightmare.

The nightmare: Excerpt#6 from Ascension Symphony

This is not a question, it is just another song.

Here are the lyrics:

Do you miss him?
Well, that's how i missed you
Do you need him?
This is how i needed you

Did you meet him?
Walking down the road with someone else
Did you try girl
to turn your head away?

Well, i know i tried my best
there was a weight upon my chest
But i felt i had to stare
it was a pain i could not share

Did you cry girl?
Well, i did not cry at all
Did you smoke too much?
I was always on the run 

Did you kill him?
And i mean inside your head
Guess he's still around (like a zombie)
half alive and half dead

It's so hard when summer's gone
and they're leaving you alone
There is nothing you can do
with a zombie after you

Do You Miss Him?

Extempore

“This song is inspired by 80’s Goth Pop, Classic Rock and 00’s Alternative Rock. Lyrically it comes from the perspective of planet Earth questioning humanities influence and encouraging us to move forward in peace as this is all we have.” 

CURE ME QUICKLY 

Another night like this
You’d better cure me quickly
Only heaven knows how much you’ll miss me 
Burning fire of pain and people looking away
This time it might be the one that sends us back to the stars and to infinity 

Cure me quickly 
Take aim and make the shot
You will all miss me
I am the only one you’ve got
So cure me quickly 

I’m not sure
Where shall I begin? 
Start with love, hope, dreams, war, with peace or famine?
Tell me are we are on the brink? 
‘Cos I’ve been here too long to let my heart sink 

I am the only one you’ve got

Spiral - Jana

I am dreaming of a warm and sultry day on the beach, relaxing in a hammock between two palm trees while reading my favorite poets... so nice !!

Summer Siesta

The Dreamsmith has made a new kind of dreamstate in his forge. It's open source, so the dreamer can work it further. 

Made with Padshop Pro and Granular Symphonies by Simon Stockhausen, tweaked into something...
Dimension Pro percussion and I don't remember right now ... will update info when I can or when asked...

In memory of a man who was always there - like a rock, reliable and consistent. 
But even a rock turns to dust at some point.

In Memory

A song for that someone special in our lives.
Thanks for listening.

Just a song I threw together after work. I had a creative itch to scratch. Has my trusty Takamine guitar and some duduk, and some electronic sprinkles...

Solar Winds

Solar Wind

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!
