In February 2016 I released my debut album ‘Tremolo’ as Havenaire on Constellation Tatsu. Been a long time for me working on ambient and drone music. Read more about the project here: http://soundsofatiredcity.com/havenaire-interview/.
I am happy to announce that there will be a follow up coming 2017 on Glacial Movements. More info to come.
I’ve been working on new music for quite some time now. It’ll take some time before I’ll have anything finished though. So far it sounds kinda different from my previous recordings. Working a lot in Ableton experimenting with electronic sounds. We’ll see where it ends up.
I have new gear at Möre Studio. A Universal Audio 2-610 Dual Channel Tube Preamp will spice up the future recordings.
Some of my electronic work will be featured in two upcoming feature films. To be announced.
Here’s the second video from the new The Grand Opening album ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Darkness’. Made by Jonathan Katzeff. Runner is Richard Kristoffersson.
The new The Grand Opening album is released now. Above is the first video to the song ‘Towards Your Final Rest’.

I’ll be releasing two albums later this year. My long time musical alias The Grand Opening will release the 4th album “Don’t Look Back Into The Darkness” via Tapete Records on October 11. It’s produced and recorded by me at Telefonstudion and Möre Studio during 2012 and 2013.
I am moving to a new studio space called Telefonstudion at Telefonplan in March. RIP The Fridge. But I will also keep Möre Studio for now.
Loud as Light is being mixed by Linus Larsson right now.
Hearts No Static is soon finished. The album will be mastered in a few weeks.
I will perform at Södra Teatern on January 28. The event is called Cross the Road, Molina and is a tribute to Jason Molina (Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co.).

I just got back from Karlskoga recording Loud as Light in the KM Studio. Overdubs and vocals will be recorded in Möre Studio soon.

Hello,
This is my new home on the web focusing on the music I write and record for myself and others.
In August I will be back with news about the recordings by Hearts No Static and Anna Ödlund. Will Gambola Sing will also record the second album.
I will produce, record and mix the second album from Loud as Light from Örebro.
Later this fall I will record the fourth The Grand Opening album and probably another Case Conrad album.
