Im currently recording new songs and doing artwork for my music solo project Tropical Silence. A story around the music will be very important and its slowly developing.

I will soon do a post with some fantastic illustrations by artistst who has visualised hes stories.

Agent Coopers and Diane

2010-03-09T12:06:00.000-08:00

Twin peaks is one of my favourite tv series of all time. One of the best things with the series was the attention to small details wich made the story so rich. Agent Coopers tape recordings to Diane was one of these memorable things.

Here is a real treat if you like those moments.

Labyrinth comic adaption

2010-03-03T15:04:00.000-08:00

One of my earliest film memories is from when I watched Labyrinth at my cousines place around 1988.
I didn´t see this movie again in many years but when it was released on DVD i bought it. If you have missed it you should definitely check it out, its very 80s but timeless at the sam time. Much of the magic was created by the puppets made by Jim Hensons puppet studio before 3D graphics took over. Here is a comic book adaption of the movie wich follows the story very strictly, kind of fun to compare. But once again, get the movie to!

Old robot illustration

2010-03-03T14:53:00.000-08:00

I went trough some boxes with my old illustrations some days ago and found this robot wich I had totally forgot about.
Kind of like the ruin/robot theme.

Frame

2010-02-23T15:07:00.000-08:00

Recently I have been looking alot on old really detailed frames for paintings. Sometimes they even seem more intreresting than the artwork itself. Inspired by this I illustrated this piece just for fun.

Summer

2009-06-25T12:40:00.000-07:00

Since the summer has come here in Stockholm for real I think its a good oppurtunity to present a couple of photos by the Swedish photographer Lars Tunbjörk. The images here are from his photo series Country beside itself from 1993 and I love Borås from 2006 (Borås is a town in Sweden were Tunbjörk was born) . It shows how we in Sweden spend our long awaited summerdays, dreaming dancing, shoping and much more.

Organ magic

2009-06-21T15:47:00.000-07:00

When I was a kid I liked to play with background music. The songs became a part of the play togheter with the toys. One record that I loved back then and still listen to very often was Bo Hansson and his own soundtrack to the Lord Of The Rings. This record was released back in 1970, long before the big hype with Peter Jackson movies and its typical Hollywood orchestra soundtrack.
Bo Hansson plays the Hammond organ wich is the main instrument, with this to lead the way this album is for me one of the best music that someone here in Sweden has yet produced.

Many years after Bo Hanssons Lord of The Rings another great Swedish organ Player Erik Malmberg has taken on the journey that Bo Hansson started. With his former band Sagor & Swing and his Own project. Bo and Erik also found each other some years ago and now they do collaborations so the Swedish Organ tradition lives on!

Download some songs here (Great mellodies are guaranteed): http://www.mediafire.com/?hmzzzmlyyum

Very moody song and music video for Sagor & Swing called Into The forest

Sagor & Swing means Fairytales & Swing btw

The Wizard Of Oz goes Disco

2009-06-17T04:20:00.000-07:00

If you fell down in the land of Oz and found it to be one big Discoteque this is how it could sound. In the late 70.s an American producer called MECO (Domenico Monardo) decided to produce this record, if you dont like it you will probably laugh anyway its a very strange one. And i really love the record cover done by Gribbit, its impoissible to find a good site with their artwork represented but they did many great covers back in the 70.s and 80.s

Download the album here : http://www.mediafire.com/file/oa2miwo4tff/MecoWizardOfOz.MP3

Little Computer People

2009-06-16T16:45:00.000-07:00

Listen to these tracks and then think of all the times you have been in a close encounter with a non human life form, none huh? Well download this and you know how it would feel. This is music out of our world! There is also a strange videogame to commondore 64 with the same title any connection?

Bruce Bickford

2009-06-12T09:18:00.000-07:00

Clay and Puppet animation has always been two of my favourite animation techniques. The magic in bringing materials to life and give it an personality and an own world to exist in is beautiful. Although my own experience in the area is limited to an audience view so far. One of the magicians in the field is Bruce Bickford who creates ubelievable films with clay. If you get the chance buy the movie The Amazing Mr Bickford wich is a collaboration with Frank Zappa.These two artist worked togehter for 8 years with different projects such as Baby Snakes and City of Tiny Lights in interwievs they have expressed a big admiration for each others work. I guess the art they did togheter(Bickford is the animator) speaks for itself so here is a couple of animations and clips from the documentary about Bruce Bickford Monster Road buy it!

This is part one in a longer discussion with Bruce Bickford check out the rest here

Legowelt+Smackos

2009-06-01T13:36:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it can be fun to dive down in the harddrive and dig out music that you almost forgot that you had there. I got a great surprise when I found these old Legowelt and Smackos tracks laying there, a real treasure from the past. I dont think Danny Wolfers who is the artist behind both these names needs any further introduction but please visit his web page and myspace page and understand how good his productions are. Actually I belive these songs are downloaded from the same website some years ago. It contains a lot of donwloadable songs so go and explore.

Legowelt Disco Rout music video. Really like this video with its old school 3d graphics,
goes perfectly with the song

Chromatics

2009-05-31T13:20:00.000-07:00

Chromatics from Portland Oregon is one of the bands I have been listening to the most since i found them for about 3 years ago. Here is 10 of their tracks that really takes you on a voyage. Chromatics has a perfect blend of beautiful mellodies, darkness, great basslines, cosmic arpreggios and dreamy human and robotic vocals. They are signed to the label Italians Do It Better with a couple of other really good artists as well. I can really recomend Mirage and Glass Candy Johny Jewel from Chromatics is also one of Glass Candys members.

Syntax Error

2009-05-26T08:06:00.000-07:00

For some years ago there was a great radio program on the Swedish national radio station P3. It was called Syntax Error and they only played video game music mainly from old games. Since I like the Radio station P3 and think they run some good music programs I dont understand the reason why they decided to close this one down. I miss this show and game music has many fans out there. So bring it back now! Until then here is 31 episodes of the program from 2001. The language spoken by the host Sol is Swedish but he mainly plays music so you can easily enjoy it even if you dont speak the language. Each episode is around 15 minutes with game music at its best.

The 31 Episodes are divided in 5 different ZIP files bacause of the file hosting sites size limitations

TELEX

2009-05-25T13:38:00.001-07:00

The Belgian synthpop group Telex was formed in 1978 by Marc Moulin, Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers. According to the group they did European music and it was only produced with electronic instruments. The sound of Telex have many similarities to Kraftwerk but it is often more uptempo and many times has a faster beat. A big trademark for Telex is their joyfull approach to music and many of their tracks has a humorous touch. Definitely one fo my favourite groups.

A nice fan video for their track Raised By Snakes

These two are their big titles and then we have a short little game called The Graveyard. If you want to exprerience something different in gaming and get a glimpse of the cutting edge games. visit their homepage, try the demos and buy the games, they all go for under 10 dollars each. The Path and The Graveyard are both Macintosh and PC compatible. The Endless Forest is just for PC.

Kure Kure Takora

2009-05-20T07:54:00.000-07:00

Kure Kure Takora is a red octopus. He uses a type of Ninjitsu where he can transform anything from a dopey iguana to a vacuum cleaner to a guitar. His best-friend is the weak-willed peanut-inspired Chonbo. While he has friends, he seems to have no problems leaving them for dead if he has to make a fast getaway. Like all other characters in the show, Kure Kure is in love with the fickle pink walrus Monro. His greatest fear is being soaked with vinegar and being served as Sudako (pickled octopus).

Country: Japan
Year: 1973 to 1974

There is something special with the Alone In The Dark game series (Part I, II and II that is) The mood the music the storylines. The past will catch up on the future, sooner or later, game developers will search for this atmosphere again.

Here is some screens from Alone In the Dark I. The First game was heavily inspired by the American Horror and Science Fiction writer H.P Lovecrafts novel Call of Cthulhu.
