Wednesday Photo

Following on from my photos from the 1st place I lived in Jönköping here is a pic from the 2nd place I lived. You are looking at the Munksjö (same lake one as the one in the pic from 18th Sept) at 7 in the morning. Beautiful!



The studio I had in this house was unbelievable. It was almost as if the room was designed for making music. Due to the alcove at the window, a small recess at the back & a sloping roof the acoustics in there were superb! I really miss it actually :-(


Music Update

Some new songs are coming along nicely. A couple of the Knivederby tracks are almost at "1st mix" stage as well.

Ya!

Back To Gothenburg...

...and the first thing I did was set up the gear. Well a temp set-up anyway until my studio room is re-decorated & stuff. It was a really great feeling to play keyboards & electric guitar again. :-D

Hopefully in the next week or so I can get some serious music making time in.

Yipeeee!

Photo of the day

Going on from yesterday's pic I thought I would post a pic that was taken nearby my first apartment in Jönköping. (Well to be honest its a bit away from it but I did live in that 1st apartment at the time of the pic)


Watch out for a pic from close to my 2nd & 3rd place in Jönköping soon. This could become a theme actually? ;-)

Tidy, Tidy, Tidy

One of the good things about not having my studio set up at the moment is it forces me to do things I tend to put off. It was the turn of the External Hard Drive today. Now it not only looks neat & tidy when browsing, it is completely free of old & unused samples and songs. Yeah!!!

Not only that but I managed to do some work on a collaboration EP I'm doing with Radio Scotvoid. I will post all the details of this project soon. Needless to say the music is pretty good (if I do say so myself).

Knivderby updates & a random photo

As well as my own songs I've also been working a little with the new Knivderby demo but as I don't have my full set-up with me at the moment its proving a bit difficult. Their new songs are very good btw.

As you can see my post frequency has increased recently. I hope to keep this rate up by adding some photos as well to make it abit more interesting to both you & me.

This photo was taken outside my first apartment in Gothenburg a few years back. I wrote a lot of music in that place so I thought it would be a nice touch to have it included here...

New Tracks

Over the last few days I've been working on some new Small Colin songs.

"The Coward" is a Nightmares On Wax type track that probably will feature vocals at one point. Very smokey :-D
"Vara" is an ambient track that I love actually. Very smooth, very relaxing
"Its Your Call" sounds the most Small Colin-y. Again no vox yet...

Once I figure out how (and if) you can upload music on here I will start to add clips of the songs. And maybe even full demo versions of them too.

Stay safe...

Pics from gig in Växjö

I recently played a festival gig in the middle of Sweden in a place called Växjö. It was a great evening with loads of other good music. Here are some photos of my performance (Thanks to Louise Wargklev for the pics)
