Last dance in Öland

Harry`s in Borgholm, 30th October. Was I really on Öland? It could just as well have been the mid-west in America. After watching K-special about the american desert http://svtplay.se/v/2192679/k_special/test_site_-_amerikansk_okenkultur?cb,a1364145,1,f,-1/pb,a1364142,1,f,-1/pl,v,,2192679/sb,p102870,1,f,-1 I find similar functions for this special isle.

Two new songs! and piano-lesson

I have started to write two new songs: for a long time I have been focusing on working on old material, but  the last couple of days couldnt stop the new songs from taking shape. Maybe it has to do with another lesson in jazz-piano that I took: becoming mathematical with music is fun and puts my brain in new directions! I have also, together with Helle and John decided on a öland release date for the Ep in Yellow box: http://www.hellekvamme.se/news.html  : 26th March! this puts my life into wonderful order.
Meanwhile, the new song by Lykke li is growing on me:

Excursion on öland

This road-sign makes me feel a bit unseasy, and I am not even in that car:

Carwash in Borgholm.

Cats and Dogs

Had my first piano-lesson in Jazz-piano today, very good! I also spent time talking to Emeli and with her cat and dog. And took further photos for the EP:::::

Maya and rare Kate!

And then...Malmö

I get to travel in Sweden quite a bit and its like seeing it for the first time. I was invited to the premiere of my sisters shortfilm "Blodssystrar" at Doc Lounge, Malmö. From Saturday the 16th you can watch it here http://svtplay.se/v/2144484/kvinnan_i_mitt_liv/blodssystrar . It was a very good and strong film - I hope there will be english subtitles at some point! Malin and I were also out walking in Västra Hamnen, Malmö and then we experienced these amazing sceneries:

The old train through Sweden

I can really recommend going with Veolia from Stockholm to Malmö, certain days you travel two for one and it doesnt make you travel-sick as the faster trains might do! The journey I made last Saturday was magical, travelling in the afternoon through the autumnal landscape and fog. It brought back memories from my Transiberian travels a few years ago, as me and mum sat in the cosy restaurant and chatted to the friendly employees.

Ideas for cover of EP

I have had certain ideas for an EP cover quite a while, and I have a name for the Ep which will also connect to the cover. Just giving a wee hint of it here.

Harvest Party in our village

This year, our village Gärdslösa is "the village of the year" on the island of Öland. During a weekend in late September we had lots of visitors to various activities along our village road. Amongst them was an exhibition with old aprons from the village and a closed-down shop opened their doors to show visitors what it was like when the island had lots of snall community shops, it was glorious!

The morning after the night before

This was the location of our evening installation "Camping i konstnatten". I had a great job trying to get passers-by to come down and see our photos and sounds. Many people seemed scared, and even said so "It looks dangerous!". Disa had someone shout at her from a car: "Bloody gypsies!"
