October descends into November and Sweden gets cold and hostile. Nevertheless I've always regarded autumn the time of rolling up your sleeves and collection yourself.

 

Summer was long and exhausting. We did quite a few gigs, and so far this year I've counted to 52 gigs all together.

Starting off with a quite late and hazy gig at The nobel prize, followed by a month touring with Tomas Andersson Wij, album signing tour and lastly the summer festivals.

 

I'm currently in the process of listening. Listening and writing new material.

My mission and ambition from now on is 100% honesty. Try it and you will realize it is harder then you'd expect.

 

After a workshop the other day with the american author Marc Dupont I got a strong sense of being on the right path. Artists should always be risk-takers, and never camp out on yesterday's success. The amount of creativity is not limited for the one who not only create, but also listens.

 

If you missed it, here`s a chance to hear my radio show from last week. In four episodes I guided the listeners through the miscellaneous landscape of my musical journey. World music, opera, some punkrock and heaps of manchester-bands.
