I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately - mostly regarding music, what I’m doing musically and why.
What’s the point, really? Why do I have all the gear I’ve got? What’s my goal?

I don’t strife to be in-the-spotlight-famous - don’t think I could coup with that. But I’d like to become someone. I’d like to produce and be a part of something people refer to as “really good” or “simply amazing”. I’d like to play live at more trance parties. I’d like to support, or produce, a big music act.

I’m not giving up, nor am I selling my hardware equipment even though I’m using software solely today - and I got more software coming…

I ended up in third place in a remix competition which was extremely fun, but it didn’t seem to get me anywhere.

But in the end, it’s the heart-warming comments that really is the driving force behind my music creativity.

Tongue-tied Twisted at the Digitally Imported forum wrote the following when listening to Heliosphere:
“was gonna call it a day at wrk… simply cant now….!!!!! yyeeaahh”
There are some other really amazing comments as well which I’m reading a little now and then when I need it. Those can lift me up when I’m down and inspire me to continue creating music.

Fans, friends, family and lover - Thank You for Listening and boosting my driving force!

Next up: mindXpander Live @ Mimerlaven, Norbergfestivalen. See you there!

We’re still working on the tracks for the upcoming mindXpander live gig at Norbergfestivalen. It’s extremely fun and we’ve just re-written a track from 1994. It’s called “Out of Gas” and features one of the best basslines ever written in the history of Space-synth and italo-disco ;o)
Excitement is starting to build up now. Really, really, need to practice!

Get your tickets here.

Beside that, I’m trying to work in parallel with the long awaited Ypsilon 5 album. Bare with me…

New picture up at Xpanderland as well! Big shouts to Estethia for the magnificent camera work, lighting and retouch.

Track of the week is Thermostatic with “Driving” (Spotify link). If you’re reading this - can I remix you guys?
