This video shows images from a computer game that I worked on in spring 2022. The game is called Halite and was produced by the brilliant students at The Game Assembly in Stockholm, Sweden, in collaboration with my own school, Östra Grevie Folkhögskola. I made all the music and voice recordings in the game. I collaborated with one of my classmates, Nikolaus Harryson, who did all the SFX. It was a wonderful project and I enjoyed every second of it! I'm gonna post a link to the game for download as soon as I get one. I used Logic pro X as always to create and record etc... Note: My boyfriend did the voice over
Atmospheric & Creepy
23 February 2022
The first melody you'll hear is an original theme by Elias Wirtén. The assignment was to score this according to two given emotions, I got Atmospheric and Creepy. So this is my take on it. I also decided to put in some beautiful pictures of my home Skåne in Sweden as it's a part of who I am and I thought it suited to the music - please enjoy!

This is my entry for the short film scoring competition 'The Lost Piano' by #Westwood . This composition was originally made by me in 2010 and I just recently recorded it in Logic Pro X with a casio keyboard. The original title of the song is "Den Första Dansen" (The First Dance) and it's one of my very first classical compositions ever made. The First Dance is a very important piece for me with a huge history and when I watched this short film by westwood I immediatly thought about it.

One small step at a time
12 October 2020
Last night me and Tanya finally created and recorded the last parts for one of our very first singles. Normally this would not be such a big deal, but this time was something different.
After yesterdays recording with Tanya I realized that ever since we first started cooperating together I've gotten a bit better at creating, mixing and editing than I was before. For me this song has become a milestone that proves that a journey has been made in my life. It is always important to sometimes look back and see where you
were and how far you've gotten. After last nights recording with Tanya, I had this realization that I've finally reached a new level, maybe we both have in our different ways. And it's important to embrace that before you move on to the next thing. You've got to practice every day if you want to learn something or change
something in yourself. By doing this, small steps will be made day by day. It's important to take a step back and look at our accomplishments. Everything takes time and commitment. Don't try to become the best in one day at something. Just do small things for many days. There is where the real difference lies.

Got company in the studio today by
Olivia Malmberg
21 August 2020
This time by my amazingly talented sister! Ever since we were kids she showed that her voice was stunning and pure. By then I tried to inspire her by teaching her some chords on the piano. But she didn't need me as she found her own way. Now for the first time ever, we have finally recorded one of her own songs for vocals and guitar. I feel honored to be a part of this and it warms my heart to listen to her poetic sounds. Only the sky is the limit!
Collaboration with

Singer/Songer/Dancer/Lyricist
I'm having the great honor to collaborate with the amazing singer/songwriter Tanya Lohse. Her voice is absolutely stunning. and her music talent is just as beautiful as her personality. I must say that there's never a boring moment with Tanya and I'm looking forward to post a release date for our music that we are currently working on. I'm sure you will appreciate listening to our music as much as we enjoy creating it. Meanwhile, take a look at her music here:
I'm currently collaborating with Oskar Areskog on what soon will be our first full album. Oskar is one of my closest friends and we have known each other and shared the same interest in music since we were only 12 years old. It's just a dream come true to work with this talented person. This is an on going project and I'm hoping to soon post a date for our first release.
