Sounds From Emotions

“Welcome to a snapshot of my life put into music – “Sounds From Emotions”.
The title is a personal one and came to me when I was about 18 years old.
I had already been playing guitar for a while back then and writing music at the time.
I noticed then that some of the music that I wrote had a more emotional vibe to it than other music that I’d written before.
So I labeled those parts as – “Sounds From Emotions” – whenever I felt that those parts had a more profound emotion attached to it and had less to do with technical guitar chops and skills.

After writing my previous album – “Leave My Mind Sometimes”, I was going through some
deeply rooted memories and wrote about them. These writing sessions felt a bit like therapy, extrapolating all of these emotions into written words and music.
After about 3 months I had written 8 songs that reflected one of the darkest and heaviest
moments in my lifetime and the title that I wrote back in 2003 made a lot more sense now.

The music that’s on the album is quite melancholic, but I wrote it with a lot of joy and love.
Strangely enough, I found that melancholic music is quite uplifting for me 
and I guess that reflects back into my own songs.
Thank you for supporting me and my music. I hope you like what you hear!
