Why?
Music has been a major interest throughout most of my life, but sadly, I am neither a musician nor a singer in reality. In my 50s, I completed a sound/music program at the “Studio Blue” school in Stockholm. Since then, I’ve had the humble ambition to create musical content that, at the very least, impresses myself— and hopefully, keeps improving over the years.

No One Knows (Queens of the Stone Age interpretation)

Ol Man Viking

A mysterious interpretation of Neil Young’s beautiful song “Old Man”.
Strangely out off beat in a way, but, any way. The Viking association comes from the fact that I think it sounds like the theme music from the TV series Vikings.
I have a friend who usually criticizes everything I do, but he liked this one — so it gets to come along. Mostly real instruments.

The Past Recedes (John Frusciante interpretation)

Fiva

Bought a saxophone and tried to practice it.
Maybe not quite serious, but here I added some playing to a track I´d already finished earlier.
Well, it went, I dont know, I think it went ok. Mistreated the sound processing thoug.

In the end I had to give the saxophone up for several reasons — one of them being that I’m allergic to grass. Saxophone reeds are usually made of cane, after all. Eventually, it led to bleeding sores around my mouth. But anyways.
Mostly real instruments.

Swirl (Virvla) 

My first solo project at the Studio Blue school.
The assignment was called “Eurovisioncontest” and the brief was:
Compose and document a song that could be performed using traditional instruments. It must include an intro, verse, chorus, and vocals, but must not exceed 3 minutes in length.

The result was this romantic pastiche, based on the very first chord progression we practiced during the piano lessons. I’m quite pleased of how that jazzy drum break turned out. 
No, I didn’t win the competition — but I came fourth out of about fifteen entries.

Virvla (Swirl)

Yxflodsvals (Axe river waltz)

I really like this one myself.
A strange little piece. Just four chords repeating over and over again, in some kind of waltz rhythm. It might evoke a sense of Nordic summer night melancholy, combined with splashes from wild river currents.

It rattles, clatters, and wobbles — but that’s fine. It’s meant to feel a bit rustic and folk-like. 
Mostly real instruments.

Eighteen

Cover version of Alice Cooper’s “Eighteen.”
My final project at Studio Blue.
From start to finish — everything from documenting the sheet music and arrangement to planning, coordination, recording, editing, mixing, etc.

My talented classmates are doing the performances, apart from blowing the little harmonica in the intro. Thats also me.

Eighteen (Alice Cooper interpretation )

The Hicks Variation

A simplified interpretation of Dan Hick´s song “I Scare Myself.”
