Androids has been an exciting album to create. Developments in artificial intelligence and androids have been very rapid and are constantly evolving faster. Powerful processors, advanced software and other technology create better capabilities for a more human response and androids that can move more like humans. It attracts and scares us at the same time.
For example, there are countless movies and TV series that move within the area. Androids that are good or evil, for the most part they have a strength that no human can measure up to, as well as an intelligence that is superior to us.
But will the androids that we see in the film world become a reality, will we eventually have self-thinking, created individuals in our vicinity?
If the answer is yes, ethical issues arise that are larger than Asimov's robot laws. We will make demands on androids, but should they also be covered by a protection similar to human rights? Or will it become more like a slave trade where they are lawless and can be treated without any ethical principles? If they become self-thinking and aware of their existence, the question is very simple to me. We are equal. Johan Tronestam

Cosmic drama is a philosophical emergence after my previous album Space Collection. I am constantly experiencing an affinity with the eternal that attracts and gives rise to amazing thoughts, which also travels anywhere without depending on time or space.
When I was a kid my teacher said I had too much imagination within me. Today I see it as a gift that has strongly built up my abstraction ability. Likewise the artistic ability Cosmic Drama does not give the subject its proper value but reflects the longing, thoughts and desires that the universe gives us.
Track 6 is a tribute to a good friend, Wolfgang Gsell who is no longer with us. A person who loved the universe and was himself filled with an artistic magic I appreciated very much. The album also pays tribute to Stephen Hawking, one of the modern era's biggest theorists which brought us closer to the intriguing questions about the universe.

A new discovery from Sweden. A talented new synthsmusician who plays his own melodic style with some influences by Jarre, Vangelis , and TD. Very good melodies and a perfect background with a good selection of synthssounds.

The idea for the album Luther started in 2015 after visiting Wartburg. It was a mighty feeling to enter the room where Martin Luther translated the New Testament from Latin to German. The translation gave citizens the opportunity to have their own relationship with God and to reflect on the written word, which was not possible before.
This album is a musical interpretation of the historical person Luther at a time when everything was changing. Martin Luther chose the monastic life because of a thunderstorm.
He promised to give his life to God if he was saved. In 1507, Martin Luther was primed and 1508 he began teaching theology at Wittenberg University. He later ended up in a serious confrontation with the Catholic church. He despised the way the church ruled the people with greed and corruption, and held them in fear of hellfire. Luther believed that people should be able to have their own relationship with God, and the right to feel safe and loved. 

My musical interpretation is not made to offend or hurt anyone. The project is an interpretation of what is historically documented. I have for example visited the Vatican City and Wartburg. It has inspired me.

Cool melodies and wonderful sequencerbasics.
The idea for the album Midgard started in 2015, but the first track was made in february 2017. The inspiration behind this work is J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Silmarillion. The subject opens up too many thoughts and ideas. Have there been powerful times which we today have no knowledge of? Times that have been lost and today are only myths. Echoes from the past without any anchoring. If so, what happened to these cultures? Apart from the world of Tolkien there are enormous amounts of myths of ancient times in different cultures, written by known cultures that are seen as our cultural cradle. They describe times that go beyond our ability to verify.
For example, there is a link between ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian and Chinese stories of even older times where persistent rulers ruled powerful kingdoms. Also descriptions which has its beginning in supernatural rulings.
