Concerts and recordings

Right now there is a lot to do.
I continue to work on my new album and on Saturday my cellist Emma Lindhamre will put cello on some of the songs.
I did a lot af arranging for this.
Some songs needs bass and guitar and I have two good musicians that will record it for me.
On Sunday I will play the piano for some singers on an anniversary so I have to practise a lot since one of them is singing opera. Besides that I have booked a concert with Roger Pontare and Claes Crona in Kungsholmens church. We will perform there next year so stay tuned for updates about it.

”Coming home”, Sofia Ullman and Janne Schaffer

I composed a song when I was confused and called it ”Coming home”.

I recorded piano and vocal and asked Janne Schaffer to play guitar on it.
Janne is very known for playing with Abba, Ted Gärdestad and Electric Banan band and for his own great performances.
He masters his instrument (guitar) very good.
He liked my song ”Coming home”, took a cab and came here to my apartement and put guitar on it.
I could feel every second of it.

This song is about finding yourself.
When you´re confused you need to take the road back home.

Musicvideo and rehearsal

Last month I was in Schweiz recording a musicvideo for my new project with the artist Jayce Landberg. This project is very new and exciting, and it feels quite unike.
The music we do, his guitarsound, our images and everything.
You will see what happens with it…

Purple snow

Tomorrow a friend of mine Claes Crona will come and rehearsal some jazz and singer/songwriting. He is one of the best pianists in Sweden and I love his feeling.
My criterion for playing with someone is that they have a great feeling and are so present that he/she makes the room magical.

”Tiggare kan ingen vara”

My friend André Fagerman created a documentary about homeless people. He wanted to find out what they make in a day, why they are there, what people think about them and how we can help them.
I thought it was a great idea to do this documentary. This subject is so imoportant and so many Swedes have opinions about them. Some of us feel guilty when we see them beg, some of us want to prohibit the begging and some of us want to help them but don´t know how.
André asked me to do a song for his documentary and so I did.
I composed and recorded the song and called it ”If we care” and you can hear it 3 minutes into the documentary.
The name of the documentary is ”Tiggare kan ingen vara”
Hear it is:

Västerleds kyrka

Sofia i Västerleds kyrka
Thank´s everyone who attended yesterday!
It was great to play on a newly tuned grand piano. It was one of the best pianos I have ever played on.
It was very nice to see so many people there in the audience!

I tried to mix my repertoar yesterday. I didn´t know how people would react on some of the songs like ”Get lucky” which is a popsong that is quite fast and with some special lyrics. But people where diggin it I think.
I have noticed how I´ve improved at playing the piano during the year. Theese weeks I have totally fokused on practising.
Now I have a wedding in Kolmården on Saturday and then I´m free til next week….

Thank´s!

… to everyone who came to my concerts!

I´m very happy that so many came despite the nice weather.
When we came to St Eriks kapell for Thursday´s performance I was a bit chocked. They didn´t have any microphone there!
I thought it would be very difficult to manage without it, specially since the church was full of people!
But I got surprised because they heard me very fine because of the fine acoustics in the church.

One funny thing was that I lost one of my Sheet-Music both days! But I played without the paper and it worked.
I play the piano so much that it can´t really be a problem!
Theese weeks I have played A LOT! Several hours everyday!

Now I´m going to Växjö on vaccation for a week.

If you look three posts down you can see that I´m composing music to a film about homeless people. The film is made by my friend André Fagerman.
Here is a trailer for it…
