I'm putting two albums together.
It's soon two years since I released my first album; ‘All Doors Open’. A nostalgic release, since it's the first album I made, long ago, but never got released into the wild before.

I have heaps of finished and half-finished songs in my folders, as well as photo and video art. But I also have new music in the making as well as music that I know I want to make.
I don't want to release only the old stuff. Therefore I will work on two albums simultaneously. One album with only old songs which needs some touch-up and mastering, and one album with new music.
Going through my hard drives, minidiscs, CD-R:s, and cassettes is a slow grind. I have done a lot already and the track list for the album with the old stuff is done. Most files are in order.
For the new album I have a couple of songs in need of some love, but I'm also looking forward to record some new, experimental stuff for it.
I have created a newsletter called “Strange Signals”. As you know, a lot of updates happen through social media. But algorithms and trends can cut the signal forever. Sign up for the newsletter (somewhere on this page), if you want to keep receiving occasional updates on the music and what I'm up to, regardless of the algorithms and dying apps.
Cheers!
