Video of the day 6th of February 2014

Sometimes video of the day....is from the actual day. 

Other times it is from the same date but a couple of years back. This is to give things "perspective" (as I write that Im smiling on the inside).

Sometimes it is a fairly fresh video that hasnt been "published" yet.

That is the case with the video of today. Its from the Carl Hasselrot sessions. 

I am playing a pair of Sabian Minihats.

I like them and I use them a fair deal to bridge between electronic drums and acoustics...

They are great to add a bit of movement.

I hope you like it.

Also I thought I could throw in a little bonus...On february the 6th 2012 the first episode of the Änglagård documentary was published. Wonderfully documented by Martin Gustafsson.

I really like how naked and raw a lot of this footage is. 

There has been a lot of editing of course but you cant deny how honest it is...apart from the looking straight into the camera stuff. I also like how positive it all starts.

Familar storyline?

Video of the day 19th of January 2014

One thing that I find to be very interesting is how we are fooled into believing that the more difficult and complex things are....they must by default be better. Here is a remarkably simple percussion idea from my dear friend Henrik Olsson.
We share the drum duties in our Krautband Walrus. I love this...simple and very inspiring.

I have since this video was made built a tree of bowls that we use live with Necromonkey and it will be making its album debut with Kaukasus.

This video was shot in 2012 during the Änglagård sessions for that pesky third album.
