Jesper and Per setting up for the video recording The video for 'Glow' has been well received and I totally love it too. Jesper Jonsson is so talented it almost hurts. So did you know that he actually made all those animations by hand??? Yes he sure did, and I just got my hands on the original footage from the animated scenes. So if you're wondering how all those things came to be, you can watch them here: 'Glow' - the making of the video And here's how it [...]

recording part three of L.O.V.E Guys! I just spent the entire afternoon editing this video from when we were in the studio recording the other day. It's got some previews of how the new 3P is going to sound. In the end of the video the a part of one of the new songs are inserted so this is like a pre-listen as well! My producer Janne Manninen has been taking it in an electronic version which I hope you all will enjoy. That's the fun thing with these EPs, not only do you get to [...]

The pledge has been up for just a few days, but we've already broken the 25% mark! That's so great! Thank you! The other day I was in the studio adding some electric guitar to one of the songs from 'V -part three of L.O.V.E'. Producer Janne Manninen was a great coach in telling me how to play and it turned out great. There's also been some questions about the new pledge and the difference between this one and the other ones. Q - What's the [...]

It's been amazing that I have received so much help, support and interest from my fans during the production of my two latest EPs. Thanks to YOU I have been able to record and release them, and for that I am eternally grateful! Now it's time for me to start making part three of the L.O.V.E saga and I need your help again. This time it will be a little bit different. For one I'm using Bandcamp instead of Pledgemusic and this time I have affixed packages to make it easier for you to choose your level of [...]

Ten years ago my mind was set on attending Fabrica Design school in Italy. The application papers were sitting on my desk in my apartment when I met the love of my life here in Sweden and the dream of going to design school in Italy was permanently put on the shelf. But somewhere deep inside a longing of seeing something else, being somewhere else and experience something else kept living in me. Over the years I lived it out in small portions through starting my own label, releasing a bunch of records and traveling through Asia and the USA [...]

I spent the evening screen printing tees and tote bags for all of you that pledged for O. This time I used a more transparent color to make the print softer and less plastic. I'm so happy with the print, I don't know what to look at, the tee or the handsome model! Coming up is posters, the print screen is being prepared as I write this, drying in the dark in the bedroom. T-shirt for 'O - part two of L.O.V.E' [...]
