Flute of Life: Windy Worlds
———
In 2023 I asked Clea and Isak to play a show as a flute duo, they said yes only if I joined the band. Flute of Life was born. After three or four recording sessions and finally had an album with some crude, weird and beautiful flute improv tunes. Streaming everywhere today on Moptaco Dics.
Amazing cover by Alexander Palmestål. (Slide 4 is my idea sketch for the true heads 🤡 )

FEEDBACK SESSION! ❤️
Den 11 mars är det dags för vårens andra Feedback Session i musikhuset på Wallingatan. Den här gången gästas vi av musikproducenten och kompositören Daniel “Fagge” Fagerström.
@danielfagge växte upp i Småland och spelade i punk och hardcore-band i större delen av 90-talet. Han experimenterade tidigt med simpel inspelningsteknik och experimentmusik. Intresset för att göra skivor ledde honom senare till yrket som musikproducent och har under åren jobbat med bland andra Viagra Boys, Kite och Sahara Hotnights. Dessutom jobbar Fagge även som kompositör till reklam, film och teater samt agerar mix- och inspelningstekniker.

Sahara Hotnights: No One Ever Really Changes
———
To cite Rage Against the Machine on their debut album, ”No samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this recording”, pretty much sums up the ideology me and Martin had making this album. We wanted the guitars to be in full focus, nothing else in the way. The only shortcuts allowed was more distortion. The result being a really delicate and fun mix of big amps turned up to 11 and raw maxed out all in the red line in fuzz.
Prior going to the studio we spent A LOT of time at my place carving out the songs to have them reach their full bloom. These songs contain so many great little things, amazing harmonies and interlocking guitar figures and the demos are so great they probably deserve their own bootleg one day.
(BTW we did use an MPC1000 and a Sherman Filterbank on Falling Off Bridges, but I don’t think that counts.)
