I get some clicks from web pages dealing with space music. What is space music? You know, Laser Dance, Koto, Proxyon and so on. Some might call it “Italo” even. Anyway, all my music is influenced by the group Laser Dance, which I listened extensively to during the early 90′s. However, the end result might not always sound like something you would call “space music”. In fact, it doesn’t sound like that at all. One of my songs, “Master Switch” is somewhat true to that genre. But that song was released ages ago! And that bothers me. I need to get back to my roots and produce some new space mooosik right away. Can’t promise anything (as usual), but I’ll do my best to get some of my space music songs finished and released.

My son (5 months old, Sep 2005) is to become a pro musician like his father. “His father is what? Pro? Mohahahaha”. OK, maybe not “pro” but atleast some sort of hobby musician. I don’t want to pressure him of course, but my plan is to introduce music and music making gradually over the course of his upbringing. Now that I’ve written this, he’s not going to become a musician at all. I’ve jinxed it. Oh well. I’ll love him just as much. :)

Anyway, a childrens song (“Videvisan”) got stuck in my head a couple of days ago, and for the life of me, I couldn’t get rid of it. What to do? Make a cover of it. The result can be heard here: Videvisan (4.5MB). The original is (as far as I know) composed by Alice Tegnér and the lyrics are written by Zacharias Topelius (spelling?).

Enjoy!
