I have been able to find out what I really really want to do myself, trying out ideas that I haven't been able to do before because you don't have to compromise when you work by yourself.Collection: Ideas
Sometimes I think I should get another job, and do this only for its own purpose. It's important to separate creative expression from making money.Collection: Jobs
When I start to write and record a track, I always think about where it is supposed to take place, what kind of room that is, and what kind of atmosphere it should have. Also how it should be performed, and by what kind of musicians or vocalists. I work in a very theatrically minded sort of way.Collection: Writing
Sometimes my lyrics are about things that are, well, not the brightest, but I have been working with this outlook for such a long time that it's not dark to me anymore. It's just something that you work through and in the end, it's a lot of happiness.Collection: Dark
Music and art is about ideas, I think. Especially music. You have the freedom to work with your ideas and your dreams and your fantasies, which is quite hard to do in many other places.Collection: Dream
I believe that people would be happier sharing things and being much more of a collective rather than working from these neo-liberal ideas of just looking after yourself. I think people need each other.Collection: Believe
Nowadays, especially when you think of electronic music, it's like, the producer is mostly the one who makes the music or the beats and everything. But I am more, since I'm that old, when I started to make music the producer was just sitting in the back shouting and drinking beer.Collection: Drinking
Stockholm is very, like, posh and uptight, and everything should be so luxurious and refurbished.Collection: Uptight
Music has the potential and the capability to create something much bigger... it has the capability to be completely free, to do anything. And I think you limit that idea when you put yourself in front of it, in a way.Collection: Thinking
I live a bit outside of Stockholm and I almost never go into town. I can live anywhere, I think.Collection: Thinking
I have mostly software synthesizers and software drum machines. I'm very lazy. I don't really like to plug in a lot of equipment and external boxes and everything.Collection: Lazy
