Kahvi - The Terraform Album

I'm part of Kahvi collectives Various artist offering Terraform. Which was released some time ago, I almost missed it. My offering is a playful tune called Better then crayons. Other notable artists worthy mentioning are Xerxes, Lackluster and 4t Thieves. And a whole lot more.

The Luminous Moon

This is a photo I've taken of the moon using my Pentax on a tripod. The place where it happened were the countryside of Gaperud, Värmland - the ambience can be quite magical there. Something I am reminded of when no clouds are covering the stars, is the stark contrast between how this natural light can appear so differently compared to the city. Partially thanks to the lack of artificial light the situation is always more luminous and enchanting. Needless to say the trees appear very different then during the day. I am very happy how this image turned out, and I might add that the photo itself involved zero post processing.

The best music blogs (you've probably never heard of)

Hidden places music
Rarely updated but illustrates the saying of "quality before quantity". Tends to focus on psychedelic electronic music.

Aurgasm
Cheeky name but a music blog that packs some great content. Very diverse in its selection and therefore carries something for everybody. One of the few "pop"-blogs I read.

Ambientblog.net
Great finds in ambient music together with knowledgeable liner notes. Continuously manages to deliver music that I haven't heard of and is a joy to read.

Dub techno blog
Highly specialized but good for keeping up to date with Creative commons releases in the realm of dub techno.

Angel Strings

A co-lab between me and american producer Joe Joe. Available for free download via Soundcloud. For those so inclined, you are also able to donate via Flattr if you enjoy the track.
 

A Personal Milestone

One album which has meant a great deal to me is DJ Shadow's Preemtive Strike. It's half way between a sample collage and Hip Hop. I especially consider the track In/Flux to be one of the masterpieces ot its time. You can read more about it here via Discogs. But it's rare that I just take it out to listen to, it only happens sometimes. But when I do and the time is right, it is the exact opposite of casual listening.

Förlorat och funnet

Förlorat och funnet by Suecae Sounds on Mixcloud

A short mix; a kind of "blandband", featuring works from two net-labels Luxus arctica and Konkretourist releasing music under Creative Commons. In 25 minutes I walk through ambient, experimental piano-music and field recordings. I feel as though it came through into a coherent whole, and I hope you enjoy it.

Under the Åskmoln

Here is the kind of music I am writing currently. Moody ambient tinged techno.
