So this Sunday I was in Montreux to see the 44th Montreux Jazz Festival. Being one of the most prominent music events in Europe, this was nothing I could pass up on. 57052 The weather was superb. 30 degrees Celsius and sunshine, and a light breeze over Lac Léman. Perfect. Music was played in almost [...]

In this blog post I’ll explain why I’m wearing makeup most friday evenings. Since I got to Zürich in September last year I’ve found sort of a second home in ICF. Monday evenings with the smallgroup, Tuesdays rehearsing music with the band, Wednesdays with the TWC photography workshop, Thursdays with the student group, and Zwänzger [...]

The programme for the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland was just released. Boy, do I want to go! It just takes a glance at the lineup to see that there will be a crazy amount of music going on there. I’ll have to decide between Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Phil Collins, Roxy [...]

Music, one of the best things in life. This winter, after getting used to the university studies, I decided to spend more time playing the piano. Not only for the pleasure of it, but I found it to be a great way of relaxing when the rest of the world seems to be spinning around [...]

February passed by quick. I really haven’t blogged enough, for what I only can apologize. I finally took the plunge and bought a Yamaha CP300, a professional stage piano, for my piano practising needs. I had long been looking for a good electronic piano with superior feel and action. I finally settled for the CP300, [...]

Last week I were at the Frizon Festival and listened to great music and met many old friends of mine. Frizon takes place every year at Torp, 25 km south of the city of Örebro and attracts about 4000 people every year. I lived in a tent, ate food from a Primus LP gas stove [...]

This is a short, un-detailed howto of how to create your own internet station using the MPD music player daemon and icecast. There are some drawbacks with this solution, but since I have been an avid MPD user for a long time, this solution integrates nicely with what I am used to. Read on for [...]

I have just come home from Stockholm, where I have spent the last weekend. EFS, Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsen has had its 150-year celebration during their yearly conference, and this year the conference was in Stockholm. The conference is still going on, and will not end before Tuseday. Anyway, I and my friends from Bäckbykyrkan i Västerås [...]

I have been playing the piano and taking lessons for twelve years. Unfortunately, next year will be without these lessons, since I will work on Elida and the year after that I will study at the university. The piano lesson I had a few weeks ago might therefore be the last one I will ever [...]
