I have to say this has been an extremely rewarding year in music for me. The first recordings from my new studio starting to appear, old projects (Albino Rhino, Black Moon Circle), that has been worked on for some years, finally released to the public. My best solo work, and lots of Doctors of Space and interesting Øresund Space Collective recordings! I am so grateful to all the awesome musicians who have helped to make this happen and all the record labels, especially Sabine and Space Rock Productions.
I also have to give a huge thanks to the graphic artist, David Graham, who created most of the artwork and all the layouts for these releases (except BMC). Also, Hasse Horrigmoe, who I work very closely with on most of these releases. I can not believe I had 16 releases this year, 14 in physical form (cassette, CD, and LP).. Wow..
Doctors of Space- The Astral Sessions Vol 3 CD (DOASCD003)
The 3rd in our series of archive recordings. These jams were from February and March 2022. Vol 6 will be more older material. Sold out pretty fast this one. Only made in 50 copies.

ØSC- Høstsabbat 2021 CD (OSC2022-LS014)
In Oct 2021, we played an amazing concert in this giant church in Oslo, Norway. A very powerful gig. First time we ever played with Esk (bass in Kanaan) and Solvig Wang. We were lucky to get a multitrack recording and I was able to make a great mix. 4 long awesome jams. The CD was made in 200 copies and is sold out. The festival had said something about releasing it on vinyl but nothing ever came of that. Pity..

Albinö Rhino- Return to the Core CD/LP(Space Rock Productions SRP076)
This is a really awesome release and the 2nd I have contributed to from this cool Finnish psychedelic DOOM band. My parts were recorded way back in 2017, so I was really happy to be able to release this on Space Rock Productions.. One long 35min track and what an amazing journey in sound it is. Great album..

Black Moon Circle- Leave the Ghost Behind 2LP/CD (Crispin Glover VODU2CGR034)
This was our 5th studio album and my 10th year playing with these awesome guys. No doubt this is our best album and the playing is out of this world. A lot of hard work went into making this album. We are all very proud of this one and we had a great tour in March. It was a lot of fun, most of the time… Lets see what the future holds but I hope more spaced out jams..

Doctors of Space- The Astral Sessions Vol 4 CD (DOASCD004)
This is the 4th Volume in our Astral Sessions series and features Jam sessions from June and July 2020!! These CD-Rs in 50 copies have been quite successful with all the earlier editions selling out. I love the artwork layout theme that ties them all together that David Graham as made. There are just a few copies left.

ØSC- Everyone is Evil 2LP/2CD(Space Rock Productions SRP080)
Hard to believe but this is the bands 40th release!! It is hard to get the exact number but close!!! Still quite a milestone. This is the first material from the studio session in Portugal in Sept 2022 at my studio. Mattias Olsson, on drums and Luis Simões (Saturnia) on guitar, sitar guitar), were also great additions to the group. The title track, was a very unique 63min piece of music unlike anything we ever had on our other records.

Doctors of Space- Studio Session April 2023 (Digital Release)
This was the first all electronic material we released besides a few isolated you tube videos, since Martin, laid down his guitar for the synths and drum machines.. A new direction..
https://doctorsofspace.bandcamp.com/album/april-2023-studio-session
This was my 5th solo album and most mainstream or normal one. Very inspired by Klaus Schulze and fun to do. All live to 2 tracks.. I was super happy with the way it sounds and the amazing artwork, sadly it has sold poorly but it is hard to sell music at all these days, much less strange stuff like this….

Doctors of Space- The Astral Sessions Vol 5— Roadburn Redux CD (DOASCD005)
This was a super fun show we did in Martin´s studio for the virtual Roadburn festival in 2021. It was finally time to get this out on a CD. The video is on you tube but not the complete show, which you get here on the CD.. Intense and heavy spaced out music..

ØSC- Helsingør DVD (OSC2023-LS017)
A local TV station came and filmed this show for us and we were allowed to release it digitally and also on a DVD. I was surprised but very happy that is sold out. We have had a really good response from the fans. I think we will release a few more of these as we have a few more multicamera shows but they need to be mixed (the camera video, not the audio).

Doctors of Space- Live in Porto tape (LVT006)
In Feb 2023, Martin and I played our first all electronic show at a very special venue for a very special audience. It was intense and the people were into it. The recording I made was pretty rough but not bad. The organizer is part of a small cassette label and they wanted to release it so it came out in 30 copies.. Sold out very fast..

I had hoped to have another Alien Planet Trip volume with guitars before another with bass but the guitar players I had approached never returned with anything and it was time to put out another one. This is a very cool evolution from the first Space with Bass and these tracks were recorded live. Dave really made an incredible cover for this one. Pity we can not afford to do this on vinyl. Hasse and I are happy with the result and we have also completed Space with Bass IV!!

Doctors of Space- Studio Session May 2023 (bandcamp subscribers)
Doctors of Space- A Change of Lab Coat (DOS-006)
This is our first full length studio album since last years Mind Surgery, which seems to have been forgotten in time! We chose 5 of our fave jams from Dec 2022 to Aug 2023. It is a diverse and interesting CD, made in only 100 copies.

Grace and Space- Floatospheriofonica CD (SRP082)
I am super happy with release. Six really cool mostly pure synth soundscapes to take the listener to a place far away! An awesome collaboration with Amritakripa and her husband, Robbi Robb (both in 3rd Ear Experience). The music and the artwork are just super cool.

ØSC- Carnival in Portugal 2LP/CD (SRP083)
What can I say…. Another awesome and diverse release with just killer drums by Tim Wallander (ex-Ozrics) as well amazing playing by the other 9 people on this album as well. The music and the artwork and the sound are all great. Very diverse and great songs.
I mixed 2 tracks and Jonathan Segel, 4 tracks..
