Holiday In Space

How it started

This music project took shape during a highly creative period between 1997 and 1999, involving collaborations with friends and musicians I had worked with before and during this time. The music that I wrote under this period where inspired by many of my favorites like: Wizard Of Ooze, Frank Zappa, Tower of Power , Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chase, Pink Floyd, Graham Central Station, Groove Collective , Herbie Hancock , Miles Davis, Pat Matheny and many more.

All the songs has been in my archive for several years and I decided to release them to see if any one would be interested.

Special credit goes to Fredrik Cerha(@somewhere) for his outstanding engineering work on 

Another Night at the Opera, with Magnus Funemyr(@magnifucentmusic) contributing opera vocals and drums, and Johan Nyberg(@somewhere) on bass.

Quote from Fredrik about this session: ”One of the most enjoyable sessions I had in the studio. I´ll never forget the distorted headphones/trash can reverb.”

Move On featuring Kerstin Ryhed(@kerstinryhed) on vocals, Jakob Norgren(@jakobnorgen) and the rest of the horn section, Daniel Tilling(@stockholmjazztrio) on Hammond and Rhodes, and Johan Nyberg(@somewhere)on acoustic bass.

Walking in This Room includes Magnus Funemyr(@magnifucentmusic) on vocals and the magic Daniel Trobell on drums and Bosse Bjerkerot@bossebjerkerot) on bass.

Myself on guitar, strange vocals and space synth. 

The compositions came to life on a whole new level that I didn’t expect from beginning. 

I don’t know about 2025 really but I’m 

planning to release another tune this spring when the mastering is finished
