I made a cover of ”this is me trying” by @taylorswift , using nothing but the OP-1 mini synthesizer! We also made a video. I co-directed it with @flora_nemeth09 , with cinematography — and the sexiest color grading a director could ask for — by @torixplore . I’m really proud of how this one turned out. 🎥 Link to the full video in my bio This song means a lot to me. I hope it resonates with you too. #thisismetrying #taylorswiftcover #loneheir #folklore #op1teenageengineering #indieartistmusic #newmusicvideo

My new song “Arsonist” is out today! It’s available on every streaming service imaginable. The music video is out via VEVO on YouTube. (There’s a link in my Instagram bio, of course) I wrote this song on a piano that I don’t even own anymore, on a Sunday afternoon, a little over three years ago. I recorded it a little over two years ago, and had it mixed and mastered about one year ago. Today is finally the day where it leaves my hard drive and goes out into the world. Thank you to everyone involved in making it happen! And an especially big thanks to visionaries and dream team duo @zaina.mourawed and @flora_nemeth09 for directing, and producing, a whole freaking music video for it! And of course @whereismano_ for dancing so beautifully to a song that’s very hard to dance to. #newmusic #indiemusic #indiemusicsweden #singersongwriter #alternativemusic #albumart #polaroid #supportindieartists #discovernewmusic #upcomingrelease #swedishmusic #nordicindie #dreamypop #loneheirmusic #loneheir #arsonist #vevo #newmusicvideo #shotonred #newmusicfriday

Shot Ilford Delta 3200 film for the first time during my weeks at Atlantis. #atlantismetronome #musicstudios #kentparker #analogphotography #ilforddelta3200

It’s been an honor and a privilege to work on new music for the one and only @kentlparker at the legendary @atlantismetronome studio, using much of the same gear and instruments you’ll hear on ABBA’s records from back in the day. With exceptional musicians @andreasquincydahlback @jodelholm @claesbjo @anders_stenberg @robertjuth and @fredrikjuth And the incomparable @thomas_juth behind the console🎹 I can’t wait for the world to hear all of it! #inthestudio #recordingsession #musicmaking #behindthescenes #kentparker

What an absolutely magical handful of days (and nights) I’ve had at the legendary Sonic Ranch this year! It’s been an honor and a pleasure to share knowledge, ideas, inspiration and laughs with this large group of exceptional artists and human beings. Thank you for everything @thomas_juth @corey_zack @jo_aposee @bosemaneric @jezzikasax @mmidd1457 @josephandrewvictor @_angelorenzo @petrichor_the_producer @therealbfun @eduardo_mc24 @deadwing.aac , Joe, Tony, Darren, Dag and all the rest of the people at the Ranch. #sonicranch #recordingstudios #musicrecording #loneheir #nordicindie

I had an amazing time at @naff.9aff recording a song for my next project (stay tuned for more info later in the year). Thank you to my brother in arms @thomas_juth for making it happen, and for making this video! 🙏 A HUGE thanks to my Hermanos Mexicanos @jaldaracaf @marcopaulsilva and @carlos.m.sax for all the magic you brought to the session! (And also Mr. Piano Man Joe Deats who’s too cool for social media) And a warm thanks to the rest of the crew, to 9AFF and @juanchis.investigadorsonoro for helping to create such a warm atmosphere and for all your great suggestions! #musicstudios #9aff #musicrecording #baritonsax #mexicomusic

This past weekend provided some equally intense and fun days on set for @kamizai.videos ‘s upcoming short “The Art of Chaos”. Great energy and a lot of laughs in a very tiny space. Thanks to the cast and crew for making my life relatively easy as 1st AD! #behindthescenes🎬 #indiefilmmaking #redraven #filmmaking #movieset

I had the great Attila “El Andaluz” Paizs come into the studio yesterday to record some drums for my next upcoming project. This guy’s a beast! (…as well as a personal stylist? - At the end of the session he gave me his sunglasses and said “Put these on and stop smiling”) #musicstudio #drumrecording #makingmusic #loneheirmusic

It felt like Arts and Crafts Day during the latest day of production for“Heartstrings”. Big thanks to our hard-working skeleton crew, and to our steady man at the helm @rattlepike . And kudos to our incredibly patient main actress @zsofiadani for not once complaining about @torixplore ‘s and my (near) endless fiddling with lights and angles. #heartstrings #behindthescenes #bts #filmset #propdepartment

It takes a village to make a movie, it takes forever to finish one. Yesterday I was very happy to see my friend @sousahaz crossing that finish line as I had the honor to attend the premiere of his singular love letter to Budapest, titled “Above Budapest”. It’s rare for a first time feature film director to have already developed such a clear personal style, but each piece of this puzzle feels distinctly Márcio de Sousa Haz. There is so much love and effort behind this project. Don’t miss out if you get a chance to watch it! #sousahaz #abovebudapest #magyarfilmszemle2026 #filmpremiere

Two more shoot days for “Heartstrings” completed. To paraphrase one of our crew members: “ @rattlepike directing child actors is my spirit animal”. Also, how amazing isn’t this puppet theater? Props to our art department head, Teo (pun very much intended)! #heartstringsfilm #heartstrings #behindthescenes #bts #filmset
