Life is like a roundabout (being creative)

Maybe it is like life is a roundabout. We go round and round and round until we leave and go to the next roundabout. Sometimes it is like this with the creative process. Just a few months back I completed the songs again and by that time I thought it was the best work I have ever done. Partly, for sure, that is not true but still it felt like this will be the final cut. However; I discovered there where two songs being to similar to let it slip through. So I rebooted the writing process once again and just a few days ago it was completed again. Let us hope this is the final version. Anyhow; these version are the ones I am rehearsing now.

For sure there will be new changes in this roundabout. And all the other roundabouts to come!

Stay tuned!

Stay blessed!

Rolemodels for developing my voice

Well.. It is hard to believe but it is the end of august 2024 already. For quite a while now I have been focusing on my vocal performance. In this process I have been thinking about the type of singer I am and the rolemodels I would like to have for now. With this in mind; my rolemodels for the present and future is: 

• Tom Englund (Evergrey)
• Joakim Broden (Sabaton)
• Peter Tägtgren (Pain)

In addition to these wonderful voices I am adding other ones for my warm-up process. Which ones I am not mentioning here for the time being.

God bless!

New tool for unlock new level of vocals

 

I have been working together with the wonderful Solveig Hagman, a well renowned vocal teacher located i Kristianstad, for many years. And as you might well know; I have decided to work with yet another great vocal teacher; Ingvar Bengtsson at MindVoice. I have mentioned it before on this blogg. 

One of the tools I have began to use at his sessions is this breathing trainer. It might looks strange but it actually is a great tool in expanding my vocal universe and to reach new heights in this area. 

It is like it says on the cover; Unlock your lung potential. And I must say; I have high hopes for this one. 

Stay tuned!

God bless!

Proceedings in the studio - the recording process

Well.. the title might seem a little bit odd and.. yeah it is. I have not been falling out with myself or anyone else. I just came to the decision of changing my work order. During the summer I have been working quite a lot with the vocals to make them stand out and above all; create interesting vocal lines. I must say; I really believe they now are great. The next step was intended to be recording only one song as a demo looking for musicians. And finalize all the vocals before recording the guitars and the drums.

However; as a consequence of my session at Mindvoice, I have decided to record all instruments including drums before I attend recording the final vocals. I must restart and reboot my way of singing since I now know why I struggled with the vocals so much this year. Give the autumn to come back on track together with Ingvar at Mindvoice would be a total charm. I have the potential; now it is up to me just to focus on the vocals to get my singing act together.

Stay tuned!

God bless!
