The Sunshine Brewery EP.

A collection of tracks made between 2013-2017. All from the one folder that was on my computer when my external hard drive 'disappeared'.
About half of the songs in that folder made it on to the EP.
Made with care in spare time, in right state of mind, and parallel to studies, shenanigans, and life.

Trepidation - The song was born as a soundscape-y intro (which didn't make the final cut), and was a work-in-progress for almost two years. Bursts of productivity here and there led to the natural growth of what is probably the core song of the EP, lyrically and musically.

Hopefully - The 'newest' song in the EP, in the late summer of 2017. And also the first of a new style, where I approached arranging in a simpler fashion. The piano-riff in 7/4 was the core idea. I wanted to present an odd-time signature in a fluid way, and give more room to live-instrumentation.

Savara - Cosy. Peak of my interest in electronic cinematic music. One of the first songs that I recorded vocals for. The one (and only (ever)) song that I play a regular Bb clarinet, which was lent to me by a good friend('s dad.) I played intensively for about a week, and during that week the end-wail was recorded. Said friend also plays various shakers on this song (fan Simon ,du e tung)

Reign - based on a bass clarinet sound that I sampled and chopped. I was lucky enough to be able to play on the school's bass clarinet at the time. Mostly playing folk stuff live, this was the one proper recording I did of the bass clarinet while I had one to play. (If you know of a bass clarinet that is seeking a loving new owner, please get in touch.)

Soaring - A mood. Albeit a not-so-common mood.. A mood nonetheless. Of all the instrumentals on the EP, this one will receive a vocal makeover.

Madiba - The first song written for the EP. I woke up, without an alarm, at 4:30 am on December 5, 2013. Wide awake. I opened Logic and in about an hour the song was basically finished. (The end-part came at a later date.) Following this gush of creativity, I checked my phone, and the first thing I saw was the headline of Nelson Mandela's death.

I first heard the Atjazz remix of this track way back in 2011, in a car, about to go home from boarding school. It brought my friends and I many a joyful moment, both on the dance floor and behind the decks.

Felt fitting to resurrect my soundcloud by taking it back to where it all started!

Long overdue.

Hanna showed me a beautiful but rough version of Heavy Heart way back when, in a car in Italy. I fell in love with it instantly and when she gave me the green light to take a swing at a remix I was overjoyed.
As one does, I got stuck and half-abandoned it, but returned to it recently and, well, here it is! Happy belated Hanna! x

⛅️ 

Himmelen öppnar sig
Himmelskt, hemligt, heligt hem
Vägen dit den vet vi ej
Men vi dansar i den rätta riktningen

När det stilla står
Momentum ger oss kraft igen
Vandrandes med varandra
Så hittas sinnesstämningen

---

Och vägen den är lång och svår
Men vinter leder fram till vår
I ensamheten finner du din vän
Från djupast mörker växer gryningen

Ja vägen den är lång och svår
Vi distraherar oss och tiden går
Du härdar ut, och blickar fram mot mig
"Jag öppnar mig - då öppnar Himmelen sig"
