Skippy Symphony nr1
And so it is finally finished, a new symphonic piece I wrote on piano a few weeks back. It’s been arranged in a cool Disney kind of approach with loads of twists and turns. I hope you enjoy the track (yes, it’s available through the mp3 player on this page). The track consists of about [...]
Tonight
“…Tonight is the night! Something is gonna happen….Has to happen…” Let me know if you find out from which pilot episode these lines are from. If can tell you it’s a killer. =) Ahh, damn I spoiled the whole thing. Today is like any other day. I get up, have breakfast, turn on all the [...]
Worlds greatest guitar player
This is Elliot exploring his first instrument before heading to the stage at Ozzfest.
The Heineken Project
The other day while having the friday beer I came up with a weird idea (as always). Why not make a song totally made up of sounds from a Heineken bottle? So at evening I went into my studio with a beer, sampled it in all kinds of weird ways. Clapping the bottom (makes for [...]
Opus overture
Yesterday I started to write on a new overture theme, which turned out sounding a bit like a Disney soundtrack. I worked on the melody for about 3-4 hours before I even started to record anything. I first wrote the main melody and chords with basic piano. If a song sounds good with basic piano, [...]
Subwoofers and fuses

It has a smooth and solid attack which is nice while mixing rock, metal and club music (where you have those really low sub-bass sounds). I [...]
Composing frenzy
Another song is in the making called “Before is too late”. It’s a pretty straightforward rock song which has been laying at my desk for the past year and I really never had any inspiration for that song until now. I recorded the drums and bass for it yesterday and will continue with some guitars [...]
New song – Along the road
Finished a new track called “Along the road”, inspired by the Ragnarok online soundtrack. One of my brothers (Nicklas) is really into this kind of jazz/fusion “whatever” kind of style, so I thought I should givet it a try for the fun of it. And of course with plenty of space for solos and playtime. [...]
Writing songs
With the fresh breeze of the autumn, my inspiration to write songs is at it’s best. And this year is no exception, I’ve already finished writing the lyrics and most of the music for the song “Eye to an eye” which is for my son Elliot. And some other songs are in the air. I’ll [...]
