 ten year old child Silver, who have to survive, even though there are not much of support for her. My daughter is about the same age. But Silver is not totally alone, which gives me hope. She is going through hard and overwhelming times, but there is the tense Ms Pinch (orphan too?) and the blind lighthouse keeper Mr Pew (orphan too?) and his stories, which helps her to put her life in a wider perspective when she feels alone, abandoned or feel shame for her background, a child born outside marriage. Pew encourages her to tell her life as a story, which would help when it gets too tough.
It’s a quiet support system that JW is painting up. An encouraging shout: Go on! Come on! Live! Be a loving human whatever happened to you! Whoever you think you are!
I love that time and space is merged in the book. Everything is happening at the same time, and not. The boundaries of fact loosens its power while reading. In that kind of world my artistic side can rest and enjoy. And probably I find and, under this net of stories, myself.
July 8 Oh my god, what have I started?
In the middle of my vacation in Italy I feel deathly scared and wonder what I have started? Will I manage this? I don’t know and that’s what it’s all about? To live to see….BUT the cover of the album is done and the Ep is being produced. I am not alone!
June 10 planning and sorrowing!
Flying tickets are bought, planning, mailing and rehearsing! In August a small EP will be released with three songs and the first “try-out” tour at lighthouses and other places will happen! I am looking forward to it so much, but will it be manageable? Will I stand the pressure? Will the money and the inspiration be there when I need it? Faith. A friend today left his body, and I, once again get to know that we don’t have so much time. It is now or never…I love to live…hope to see you at the lighthouses….
June 6th A video about lighthousekeepers in Scotland!
Next week this special record will be mastered….And soon the little Lighthousetour will be made. We will make a single release on itunes this Aug and the whole Cd-release will be next spring April. Looking forward to….
I see the clearing, the opening and almost all the mixes are done and we’re soon ready for to make a master of the record. Suddenly all the songs came in right place and I feel comfort and joy. Maybe we are going to have a filmmaker with us on the “Ligthhouse Tour”, who will film the event at Cape Wrath Lighthouse. That would be lovely!
Today I had a wonderful meeting with The Swedish Lighthouse Society on the island Donsö in the Archipeligo of Gothenburg. Esbjörn has thousands of books about lighthouses! English, Swedish, French…he has it all. And Captain Scotts Diary! I learned so much about hospitality, about collecting things and feel very inspired. But in fact it would be necessary to live there for a couple of years to manage to go through the whole material.
April 14 MixGathering Cancelled! – What will be? Will we be able to do this in time before summer?!
Oh, I don’t know if I will be able to make this record this year! I would certainly love to do it, cause life is short, but I don’t know if we have the time and the “thingstodolist” is too long! But we have made lovely photos for the project for a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know, maybe I need to rest more than anything right now! Feeling not so talented…well, Happy Easter anyway!
Mars 7 “Listening through the material” – What do we have?
The material is a lovely little creature, very loved, but it is too much “reverb” on everything. Go back to mixwork and start all over again!
Josefin Vannerus, a lovely singer and human being gave some very well needed assistance to the record. And technician Pontus as well. Thanks!
This writing day I am working intensely with the piece and with frenzy the small details at Hammarby Studios, while mixing the songs together with Johan Lindström and Göran Petersson. It feels more and more that this is becoming more like an hybrid opera. I’m fortunate to see this piece, this little baby be born and enjoying this unique shape I never could have imagined. Thank you Jeanette W for taking me on this trip with your words and stories, this pushes me into new worlds!
To be able to work well we usually need to eat at Fine Food Kärlek och Mat. Very important. Without this restaurant the music wouldn’t be good!
Nov 28 – Recording done successfully!
Now the songs has been recorded, approx. 16 songs….together with two lovely producers Johan Lindström and Göran Petersson. Musicians Nikolaj Busk and Hal Parfitt Murray. I couldn’t have had better companions! It felt like angels or whatever were with us during the three day-session, we were in harmony and contact with the material and each other. Hal and Nikolaj have composed interludes/tunes and made a priceless contribution. Next step is “mixing” the hole thing. Below a picture taken by Göran Petersson.
There’s a new record coming up with musical interpretations of the fantastic Jeanette Winterson’s lyrics. Exepts from her book “Lighthousekeeping”.

The book examines the study of postsocialism from a anthropological perspective. These social systems have posed a challenge to anthropological theory that has been the subject of lively exchanges for over twenty years now. Can postsocialism as a concept adequately apply to the current situation in Eastern Europe? One of the answers proposed here is that specific elements derived from postcolonial studies may prove most useful to analyse Eastern Europe's postsocialist countries.
