MUSIC
Through life I have explored music of different styles, for different purposes. But somethings has always been the same. As a synesthetic I percieve sound as visual.
When I make music I paint landscapes.
May it be the rivers, mountains and forests, may it be the cities, the sunsets and coral reeves.
And thats the most beautiful state of being I know - to be sung by a wind, a plant,
a starry sky, a spirit or a river.
Musical BIO
Music has been with me from the beginning. From childhood I was constantly exploring the realms of music through listening, singing and playing. I spent many hours of my childhood listening to mixtapes going on busses through rural landscapes. And I spent many hours of my childhood improvising song and harmonies with my sister Amanda.
I started to write and record songs as a teenager. From the beginning it was mainly acoustic experiments, inspired by female folksingers. Then I fell in love with producing electro acoustic indie pop and made myself an alter-ego during the myspace era as Devil In these guys.
By an creative impulse I founded a choir, Göteborgs Indiekör. The choir lives on today and its members spread it to many other cities. Personally it resulted in a burn out.
I left the city life, closed my computer and picked up my guitar.
It was a gradual process of coming home to nature, spirit and my roots as a folksinger that gave birth to The will in these skies. Over a 10 year period I recorded 2 albums and 2 EPs and wrote many more songs. But I did not know how to bring my music out in the world.
I was also realizing my childhood dream as singer in the psych-rock band SAN.
A deepening of my spiritual path made me once more leave the city and discard performing and recording songs in the way I was used to and loved.
Instead I dove into the realm of ceremonial music.
When songs started to come to me again they came in my mother tounge. They were born out of ceremony and I sang them only in these rooms. Or in specific moments, in specific places, for specific people, when particular song came through as medicine.
Late in 2023 I was driving on the highway when a vision came to me. Over 5 years time these songs had come one by one. But now they asked me to be recorded together as a ceremonial album.
And those are the songs of Vildheart.
