The first review of ACCEPTANCE is out! It’s reviewed by Lena Byström who has freelanced in all of Sweden’s orchestras, opera houses, county music departments and private theaters in Stockholm, and made a series of television, radio and album recordings. And for ten years, she was the orchestra director of the Symphony Orchestra at the Norrland Opera House and the Nordic Chamber Orchestra.

Here’s a few outtakes from the review:

”Tomas deft piano playing is present and the technical evenness required for this kind of minimalist music is there”

”I like that the album offers more elaborate compositions where the musical ideas wears longer. I also like the longer phrases, the longer lines in the music and the more advanced harmonies” 

”Favorite song on my part this time is ”Forever” that feels lighter than many of Tomas earlier compositions and where his piano appropriation is more sensitive than some of the other songs”

Good evening fans! Just wanted to share with you the smokingly fresh music video for ”Bells (Intro)” from ACCEPTANCE. My first official music video actually! I think it’s really cool. Beautiful and eerie at the same time. Check it out here

More videos will come in the future!

Hope you are enjoying ACCEPTANCE. I think the reviews for it are coming in next week!

Bye for now

Enjoy! Now I need to sleep.

Morning fans! It’s been awhile now. I got married a week ago (one of the best days of my life!) and I’ve been really busy with all the planning for that. I’ve also had the big (and boring) ”pre-release to-do list” to go through but now I’m finally (almost) done with that.

I’ve also started my new Facebook page. I was a bit late to that party but now it’s finally up and running. I strongly recommend you to check it out!

I just listened to the full album for the first time in awhile. Old influences from my earliest work mixed with a lot of new elements and flavours. I think that’s my best description of it. It’s without a doubt my musically broadest album so far. So I really think it will appeal to old fans but also attract new ones as well!  

You’ll be able to hear my newborn ACCEPTANCE on september 1st

I’m really looking forward to that!

See you!
