Family. Duty. The things that keep us grounded, what keep us from giving up on our hopes, but what also holds us back from stepping across the precipice into the unknown. Ambient, effected piano and synth create a thoughtful, slightly melancholy atmosphere. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.

Monomyth – The Spaces Between
The unknown is strange and bewildering, but also lonely, and we are reminded of the things we left behind, and the long road that lies ahead of us. Slow, ambient strings and synths provide a starry background for some brooding solo cello. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Restoration
The protagonist returns home, restoring the calm and familiarity, but tempered with the certainty of greater knowledge beyond the wall. Simple effected piano with a restrained rendition of the main theme. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Petrichor
Ambient, wafting synth pads and distorted leads set the scene for some humble, soft piano — giving way to a luxurious swell of warm synth tones at the height of the track. Just like the smell of soil after summer rain.
There is a Place
Melancholy ambient piano and strings – dreaming of a cosy, safe place to ride out the last of this Swedish winter :).
She Moved Mountains
Very simple ambient piano, focusing on the space between notes. Subtle strings and synths fill out the space. This was a musical response to the passing of someone I knew.
Childhood
Intervention
Darker ambient piano – subtle thriller vibes, with a simpler piano theme which should hopefully work well as underscore. Also included is a ‘no melody’ alternative mix.
Snowfall
A heartfelt reflection of the snowy darkness of Midwinter (at least of what it’s like here in Sweden!). Simple layered pianos, percussive and sustained strings, and synths.
Extrapolation
A simple, moody extrapolation of a piano improvisation, featuring atmospheric strings. Slightly uplifting, slightly melancholy.
Static
A calm, melancholy piano + string cue, with a simple cyclic theme. It’s a twinge of sadness mixed with a bit of optimism – of things lost but new things yet to come. And they’ll come.
Skyward
Atmospheric piano and strings brings a pensive, thoughtful mood – perfect for daydreaming.
Growing Up
Hymn
Time and Space
A simple, modern piano & orchestra piece in two parts – beginning with a simple piano motif and effected woodwinds, but suddenly dropping into a dramatic, driving orchestral backend at ~2:05.
A New Year
An optimistic track for 2018 – piano, strings and electronics, sprinkled with some improvisation.
Cobalt
Life Is
Solstice
A simple, uplifting track featuring a cycling piano motif and chordal strings… and accordion!
