and I have been married for 11 years! 👩🎤❤️🤓
It’s been a bumpy journey to get here, but today we couldn’t be happier!
She’s always pushing me to improve, and always believing that I will.
Definitely recommend marrying your best friend! Love you, puffin 🥰
Doing some work on Bandcamp support in Ladybird 🐞🌍🎧
Can't play songs yet, but page layout is starting to come together (save for a few minor glitches I gotta track down 😅)

I am so happy... I got a full size keyboard from

for my birthday! 🎹
Never knew I needed one so much! It's already changed the way I work, allowing for so much more immersion when creating songs! 😍

"I guess a kilometer gets shorter as you age, because the length relative to your lifespan gets smaller... "

Last year I started lifting weights again after a long hiatus, and I just deadlifted 100 kg for the first time in my life!
I know it's just a number, but it means so much to me! Looking forward to progressing past this! 🏋️♀️🦖
Working on a game and don't have the music for it yet? Maybe I can help! 🌟
I have some experience scoring games, and I am looking for new commissions! 🌜👾🌛
Check out my demo reel, and let me know if you would like to work together! ✨
Do you need music for your creative project? I have some extra time, and would love to gain experience in scoring video games and films! 🎶

I can't wait for it to come out, so you can see what we've been working on!
I'm so happy! Two of my songs are now available on Spotify and in all kinds of stores for the first time. It was an intimidating step forward, but I'm so happy I took it! 🐚🪸
My motto for publishing songs is "done is better than perfect". I have this sentence set as my screensaver so that I see it often. It's difficult to let go of perfectionism, but on the long run it's better to keep moving forward! 🎶🦋
I feel intimidated sharing my new song. I'm exploring a new direction, a blend of electronic and classical music, with a sparkly piano and a lonesome, wistful cello. 🎵
Deep inside my heart this is the type of music I want to create!
Recently I've been featured on several playlists for studying, focus and relaxation. It's such a nice thought that my music can help with this!
This is my new song, with a bit of a spiritual vibe, about being reborn on Earth one more time. Chillout, relaxing, as usual! 🌍🐱
My sweet

is the most persistent person I know. Watching his projects take shape is so inspiring! Thrilled to be watching from my front row seat! 🌟
🎵 I just released a new song on YouTube!
It's the latest in a series of forest songs. This one is about a deer, living deep in a mysterious forest. ✨🦌🍃
My latest song "Ghost Whiskers" got way more popular on YouTube than what I'm used to, and it freaks me out! 🫣
I really want people to listen to my music,
but at the same time
I don't want anyone to listen to my music!
I'm not sure I can find a solution to this problem. 😅

Have a pinch of whispering mint with your tea, it will surely energize you with its magical properties. 🍵🌿
I love listening to long study/relaxation mixes on YouTube, and now I finally made one of my own!
This is a 1 hour long enchanted forest mix with my ambient fantasy music. ✨
I feel like I only ever post here to announce my songs... Hope you are not getting tired of it! 🐱
Here is the link to my new enchanted forest song, and a picture about a mysterious, magical cat! ✨🔮🪄
I have been working on a worldbuilding project for a long time.
As it kept growing, I was thinking more and more often about making it public. Today I finally published it!
It's a fantasy world with powerful magical artifacts, enchanted places, wise little creatures, and lots
🎶 Excited! ☺️
My music is now live in the demo of Fightin' Words, the super chillest strategic word game!

I'm drowning in rejections lately, but I'm reminding myself that these moments are just stepping stones...
The world is full of light and opportunity - it's just a matter of time until my music finds its place in it. 🎶✨
Things that inspire me:
- the starry sky beyond my binoculars
- conversations about art
- the beauty and indifference of nature
- other people's beautiful work
- the connection between spirituality and music
- ...
I would love to hear what inspires you! ✨
My new, enchanted song is out! 🍃✨
It's about a gentle and peaceful monster who lives alone in a beautiful, mystical swampland.

I hope you are all having a magical week!
A couple of years ago I was taking a walk at nighttime in autumn, and I noticed a caterpillar on the sidewalk. I picked it up, totally not knowing what to do with it, because I knew they are not typically active in the fall, and it's probably too cold for them.
While I was
Since I started publishing my songs on Spotify last year, their algorithm has brought my music to over 1000 monthly listeners. I am so surprised and happy about this! 🥰
My new song "A Mermaid's Heart" is up there now for listening! 🐚🪸
Trying out some avatar designs to use on my musical journey.
I am totally drawn to the objectively perfect animal: the cat.
Welcome to my happy place! 🔮🐱🎹✨
Eventually we always return to the things we love. 🌌
My new song, Return, is out today!
I got back to the ambient fantasy mood that I love so much. 🌙
I hope this song will help you relax or focus!
It's on my bucket list to one day dress up properly for a renaissance fair.
Today at Varberg's (super rainy!) medieval festival I found the perfect headpiece!
⚜️👰🏻♀️⚜️
Now on to collecting the rest of the outfit! 🙌
I recently started releasing some of my songs on Bandcamp, and I'm so surprised that some people actually bought my music!
I feel so honored and grateful that there are people who find joy in my creations. 🙏💕
🎶 I have a new song out with a chill and relaxing vibe, called "Friendly Spirits"! 🦄
I had an amazing time working on this, and I hope you'll enjoy listening! Check it out here! 💫
I released my old song Sjökungen on Bandcamp. 🪸
Wish I had infinite time to tweak the mix to perfection, but then I would be stuck in a loop editing my old songs forever!
Here's my song about the sea:
Did you know that sounds with many different frequencies are often very pleasant for humans to listen to?
These are sounds like waves crashing, or the sound of shattering glass.
Doesn't it sound so wonderful? 🌊

When I'm struggling to pick one project to work on, and I keep jumping between many, I force myself to just pick one, no matter which one, and then sticking to it until it's finished.
It doesn't need to be a "special" one, or the perfect one. Finishing things is what matters! 👩💻
I would love to know what kind of creative projects you all have! Would you share?
Besides music-making, I am learning about silversmithing in evening classes, and I also enjoy writing. Lately I have been making pictures with AI.
What are you creating? ✨🐝✨
Lately I've been having a lot of fun creating AI pictures with Stable Diffusion. I wanted to share the best ones, so I finally made an Instagram account! 🤖✨
My favorite part of music-making must be beginning work on mastering.
There is just something so special about twisting some knobs and the messy project file starting to sound wider and brighter with every step!
It's a bit like things suddenly become REAL! 😃
I love using
@SpitfireAudio
BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover! 🎻
It's a free VST for orchestral music, with details about how each instrument is supposed to be used in the composition.
I'm learning so much from it, it's one of my favorites lately 🥰
This song is the third in a series of forest songs I am working on.
It's about a warm summer day when the forest is waiting for the calming rain.
🌦️🌳🦔🌳🌧️
Winter in the Swedish countryside/seaside really hits different.
Everyday questions get simplified, and crystallize into basic elements.
🔥 Is there fire in the fireplace? 🌪️ Is there a storm coming? ❄️ Is there ice and snow at the door? 🪨 Are the seeds covered in the earth?
Trying out "image to video" on

today. 🪄
I made this little video snippet for one of my enchanted forest songs.
Excited to see what possibilities the future brings!
I would love to bring the creatures of the forest to life.

🌟 Now I'm open for commissions again! Looking for new adventures in game and film scoring. If your project needs enchanting music, let's create something magical together! 🤓
Demo reel:
Lila was a marine biologist, determined to uncover the mysteries of the deep.
One solstice night, while conducting research, she heard a hauntingly beautiful song and followed it to the shore... 🌊
Mixing birdsong on the speakers, and can't distinguish between the birds on my computer and the birds outside my window. Quite a nice problem to have! 🐦⬛
Moving houses,
moving in a liminal time,
where rituals break down.
Not home here anymore,
and not home there yet.
I am sure the future holds
lots of wonders,
that are yet to be seen.
Creativity is a never-ending process that involves both creation and letting go. 🎶
Just as the leaves must fall from the trees, our creations must find their own way in the world. When we let them go, we make room for new ones to take their place. 🍃
Yesterday I spent a few hours on setting up a website for my music, but then instead of launching it I created a Substack. It somehow feels more practical and connected. I like the vibe! ✨
I will post about music there, come and read! 🦋
New song for Nymthalar Scrolls, my worldbuilding project! 📜🧙🏻♀️
It's about the Deep Planes, an ancient undersea region overtaken by a mysterious curse... 🍂🪨
You can read about it here 🤓
Is it better to...
🪄 finish favorite projects fast, and release as early as possible
...or...
⏳ delay them until I get better at my craft, and can make them more beautiful?
My song "At the Gate" is on this month's "Made with Reason" playlist. 🎶
It's really exciting to be featured together with so many awesome artists! Check it out on Spotify! 💜🌌
🎼 I read somewhere that instead of thinking about music theory as rules, we can think about it as discoveries made about what sounds nice. I love this approach!
