The Luminous Moon

This is a photo I've taken of the moon using my Pentax on a tripod. The place where it happened were the countryside of Gaperud, Värmland - the ambience can be quite magical there. Something I am reminded of when no clouds are covering the stars, is the stark contrast between how this natural light can appear so differently compared to the city. Partially thanks to the lack of artificial light the situation is always more luminous and enchanting. Needless to say the trees appear very different then during the day. I am very happy how this image turned out, and I might add that the photo itself involved zero post processing.

The best music blogs (you've probably never heard of)

Hidden places music
Rarely updated but illustrates the saying of "quality before quantity". Tends to focus on psychedelic electronic music.

Aurgasm
Cheeky name but a music blog that packs some great content. Very diverse in its selection and therefore carries something for everybody. One of the few "pop"-blogs I read.

Ambientblog.net
Great finds in ambient music together with knowledgeable liner notes. Continuously manages to deliver music that I haven't heard of and is a joy to read.

Dub techno blog
Highly specialized but good for keeping up to date with Creative commons releases in the realm of dub techno.

Angel Strings

A co-lab between me and american producer Joe Joe. Available for free download.

A Personal Milestone

One album which has meant a great deal to me is DJ Shadow's Preemtive Strike. It's half way between a sample collage and Hip Hop. I especially consider the track In/Flux to be one of the masterpieces ot its time. You can read more about it here via Discogs. But it's rare that I just take it out to listen to, it only happens sometimes. But when I do and the time is right, it is the exact opposite of casual listening.

Förlorat och funnet

Förlorat och funnet by Suecae Sounds on Mixcloud

A short mix; a kind of "blandband", featuring works from two net-labels Luxus arctica and Konkretourist releasing music under Creative Commons. In 25 minutes I walk through ambient, experimental piano-music and field recordings. I feel as though it came through into a coherent whole, and I hope you enjoy it.

Under the Åskmoln

Here is the kind of music I am writing currently. Moody ambient tinged techno.

Trädstudium

I found this picture while browsing some of my older works. This is one image in a series of mine, a kind of photographic study that I've come to deeply enjoy. If you've read this blog before, you've probably seen similar images posted.

I haven't had the chance to update this blog lately, and very few words have found its way here. This does not however reflect the amount of activity that is going on in my life, lots of things are happening. But I believe precisely because of this that this will continue to be a more sparsely updated outlet. And the slowness involved has also been great in a way, the texts are after all not dependent on their newness. So feel free to browse the archives, and pop in from time to time to see what happens.

There will still be life signs here. Traces of activity which does not fit in any other medium. Music & images and otherness involved. Thanks for coming here.
