Show report

So I went to Växjö. First gig since december 2009. Man, that feels ages ago. Anyhooo, I met up with David and the Kinetics-guys at Kafé Deluxe and went through some brief soundchecking and then we all had dinner. Soundguy for the evening was this really nice guy, "Poppe". He did a great job and really worked with me, adding effects on the fly as the show went and really played along with my set, making it more alive and flying. I really love when a soundguy works like that.

Setlist for the evening:
1. Waking
2. Wings
3. The Ocean
4. Where To From Here
5. Sorry
6. Beauty

The gig went well. I had a lot of tech-stuff like pedals, computer, keyboard, looping-stuff. And it all worked flawlessly. I'm recording loops in realtime with the guitar and it syncs to other pre-arranged loops and sound effects in Ableton Live. It's so cool. I also played some keyboards along with the looped part. I'm really getting a big sound. Just the way I want it. A lot of people came up to me and
said they liked the gig. I am happy. This is just what I needed.

Stay tuned for more Kinetics/Sherman-shows.

Sherman is back.

New frontiers

Well... that "first gig since forever" never happened. Had to cancel it due to my, at the time, very big health issues. Time went on and here I am again, centuries later. New website, new hopes and a new me. I hope. Next up is Sherman opening up for Kinetics, at their release party in Växjö. I'm super thrilled and super psyched. I'm workin' on some serious looping and midi triggin' thingies. Gonna be swell. See you soon Växjö!

First gig since forever

Man, this year has been tough. Barely made it through sane and alive, yet here I am. Weak but breathing. I just gathered every little piece of strenght I could find and booked the first Sherman-gig in ages. I have no idea how it's gonna turn out, I'm just doing it. I need to get out of my house. One step at a time.

Switch

I'm writing in Swedish, by doc's ordinance. I'm not letting you guys read/hear anything yet. Some 5-10 songs written. None recorded. Even though I'm not raised in a Stockholm suburb in the 70's, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, lyric-wise. It feels less pretentious than it did in the past and it's more honest than anything I've ever written. It feels. Ask me in 5 months and I will disagree.

Silent Way

Alone through the mist

I hear the jackals screaming

This road wants me here

My orders are to give in

I run, got short sight

One meter at a time

The best of ability

Trust me we still got time

Deinstitutionalized

Back from the ward. Drugged to the teeth.

And then there were three... no five

A fifth member has been recruited to the ship. Björn Sandberg will be handling the keys live from now which brings a significant non-usage of the ADAT-backtracks and clicktrack, which feels like a great relief. Björn is a nice guy who me and Andreas have been playing with before so we are more than delighted with bringing him onboard. To victory!
