There is a world within me that defies logic, is beyond explanation…it creates and floats and soars, and it is not a part of my mortal physical self. And yet, energies found here on earth can set my inner world alight…where the heavens above are mirrored within.  To catch this energy, so much alignment in the real world is necessary, but it is not impossible.  What does this new energy sound like?  Who has pushed it out of me?  Where is it going next?  

My dear Ángel (my divine twin who passed away recently) said to me, ‘M, the wind doesn’t always blow the sails. There is a time for rest.’ My answer to him was, ‘When the wind disappears, I create it myself. I, and only I, am responsible for my own wind.’

I am the center of the energy, always have been, always will be…but I welcome and am always grateful for those who contribute and make it wild…a wild intense ride…

‘Philosophers teach us how to think. Composers teach us how to love. It is a love lesson.’ Paul Tortelier. 

A Love Lesson 




‘Without solitude, 
Love will not stay long by your side.

Because Love needs to rest, 
so that it can journey through the heavens and reveal itself in other forms.

Without solitude, no plant or animal can survive, no soil can remain productive, 
no child can learn about life, no artist can create, no work can grow and be transformed.

Solitude is not the absence of Love, 
but its complement.

Solitude is not the absence of company, 
but the moment when our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.

Therefore, blessed are those 
who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.

If you are never alone, 
you cannot know yourself.

And if you do not know yourself, 
you will begin to fear the void.’ 

~ Paulo Coelho

‘The art of creating is nothing without the vast ongoing participation and collaboration of the real world, nothing without the thousandfold harmonizing of things and beings; and the creator’s pleasure is thereby inexpressibly rich because it contains memories of the begetting and bearing of millions. In a single creative thought dwell a thousand forgotten nights of love, which infuse it with immensity. And those who come together in the night, locked in thrusting desire, are gathering nectar, generating power and sweetness for some future poetic utterance that will sing the rapture.’

-Rilke (from Letters to a Young Poet)

Alpha Mound & Tidsrymd "En plats i solen" (release date: June 17)

Alpha Mound & Tidsrymd is a musical collaboration that has been going on since 2019. The first single "Slow-wave Sleep/Dröm i färg" was released in 2020 and now their debut album "A place in the sun" will be released on June 17, 2023. The music moves between post-rock, ambient, kraut and dream pop. It is instrumental music, using vocals without words. With vivid song titles and musical visualization, they take listeners through different imagined scenes. The album is released on streaming services and CD through Stålverk Records.


Alpha Mound

Alpha Mound is Joakim Westlund's solo project. Since his first release in 2012 he has produced many albums and EP:s under this moniker, sometimes through collaborations with other artists. The music is usually ambient with sound design as a central element.


Tidsrymd

Tidsrymd is Johan Ohlsson's project, producing electronic music since 2018. The music moves between kraut, minimalism and ambient. 


Alpha Mound & Tidsrymd "En plats i solen"

The album "En plats i solen" was mostly made by the duo in Joakim's studio in Sandviken. Later on guest musicians have been brought in to build the large soundscape that makes up the record. The album features Sofia Costa Nordvall (vocals), Karolina Dahl (vocals), Peter Fredriksson (trombone), Martin Hällgren (drums) and Ida Norrman (vocals).


About some of the tracks:

Godmorgon framtid was the first single from the album, which came with a remix by Slim Vic. It is inspired by an old coffee table book from 1984, with the same name, in which Bengt-Arne Vedin and Bengt Preston painted titillating visions of the future and predicted such things as "electronic express letters" and robotic lawnmowers. It is an energetic, hopeful and uplifting song.

Dagsverk is a work song with a swagger, post rock guitars and humming sing-along chorus, kind of a spiritual for the 2020s. 

Vid tystnadens rand takes us to atmospheric ambient with quietly humming vocals (a bit like Enya). Alpha Mound plays a bowed guitar, which adds a kind of quiet drama to the song.

Östersjön paints a dystopian dark ambience to soft, jazzily stroked drums. We see the song as a bittersweet musical depiction of a rather ruined place, where beauty and tragedy sings side by side.

En plats på solen is a brutal song that contrasts the uplifting title track. But instead of beaches and leisure, we imagine solar storms and extreme heat. The composition is inspired by the title track of the 1984 Dune film and Edvard Grieg's "The Death of Asa" from the Peer Gynt suite, but filtered through the usual punk/indie racket.

The song "Another Time" is about the journey of self-discovery and moving on from the past. The narrator is riding on the last train to town, symbolizing the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. They are letting go of their past self and embracing the unknown future.

The picture in their mind represents their desire for something they cannot find, perhaps a feeling or a person. However, they believe that they will be pulled through by something greater.

The chorus highlights the contrast between the sun and shade, representing the ups and downs of life. The narrator feels hidden and lost when they run away from their problems, but they are hopeful for another time when things will be better.

The blue guitar, whammy bar, and amp symbolize the tools the narrator uses to express themselves and move forward. They have found another wave to ride, meaning they have discovered a new path to take in life.

Overall, "Another Time" is a hopeful and introspective song about embracing change and finding the courage to move forward.

Another Time

This is a beautiful duet for piano and flute.  The melodic lines are simple but satisfying with lush major 7th chords.  I hope you like it!

This song is a kind of blues with lyrics that very well describe the life of a busker who creates his own music. Current version is without singing.
Enjoy.

DOWNHILL SLIDE
Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to create this track)
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem 

HE WOKE UP ONE MORNIN'
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOIN'
HAD BEEN A LONG HARD RIDE

HE HAD HOLES IN HIS SHOES
PATCHES ON HIS BRITCHES
NOTHIN' LEFT TO LOSE
TRYIN' TO STAY BETWEEN THE DITCHES

SEEMED HE'D LOST HIS WAY
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE'D BEEN
HAD NO WHERE TO STAY
HE JUST COULDN'T WIN

(CHORUS)
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
COULD BE HIS LAST RIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE

HE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY
ON THE WAY TO ROCK BOTTOM
THAT LIFE'S NOT ALL PLAY
HE WAS THE PROBLEM

LOST SOME GOOD FRIENDS
LETTIN' THE DEVIL BE HIS GUIDE
PROMISED HIM GOOD TIMES
IF HE'D TAKE THAT RIDE

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
DON'T TAKE THAT RIDE
CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE

(REPEAT CHORUS)
