Occupying a most tangible presence in my everyday ideas, light and light conditions is to me a pleasant connector to virtually any number of phenomena. Also, together with abstract shapes, it is how I visualize music, as through a dream environment, an approach I surely share with other songwriters who cannot read sheet music. A vague title on the unwritten page, Strange Light Music is an EP in number of songs, an album in playing time. After many years of demo-making it is my first proper album of progressive pop. Recorded in 2013 during two band sessions with additional recordings done at home, the album was released on March 7, 2014 on the Strange Light Music label.
