Music For Freedom

Me and Marie Sköld will do our first gig together at a restaurant called “Mitt Andra Hem” (My Second Home).

We will do a few covers by well known artists as Sting, Cyndie Lauper, Sheryl Crowe, Bob Marley etc..

Marie sings and plays the piano. I will sing, play guitar and also some piano. We’ll also do a few of our own songs. We have actually turned the songs into duets.

I find this cooperation fun! Hope to see you there if you have the chance.

Hi!

I will now have my blog at my site anderserikssonmusic.net

This blog may continue but in that case only in Swedish.

So, see you here from now on.

Music video of the song “Getting Closer” from the CD “Music For Freedom”. Words and music by Anders Eriksson.

Filmed and edited by Mathias Magnason (Magnason Film)
Filmed in Stockholm and areas in and around Vårberg (south of Stockholm), July 2-3, 2010.

Thanks Mathias for your positive energy, the encouragement and the great cooperation. We have talked about making a video to this song for many years, and finally it’s been done!

Thanks to Bilbo Lantto for trusting me to drive your Cadillac in the video (or was it a Hyundai?) and thanks for your filming consultation.

Music recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden at Marcus Music, spring 2009.

Anders Eriksson, vocals and guitar
Susanna Halden, violin
Tingting Jin, backing vocals

Me and my new collaborator Marie Sköld needed photos to promote our future gigs. We will sing duets by the way and it’s great fun. During the photo session we started singing and playing in this small park in Goteborg. Let’s see which photos we will use. Here are two of them. To sing while being photographed is not the best thing to do I realised afterwards;)

I just want to thank my friend Khosro who is always glad to help me when I need photos.  I am also trying to become a better photographer and I am actually on short education once a week at my job. It’s fun!

Here I took a shot of Khosro a while ago.
