Projects

Vågorna

On ”Vågorna” (The Waves) the listener is immersed in the swells and ripples of electric guitar sounds. Four players come together as one super-instrument, exploring sonorities out of reach for the soloist. A fluid musical matter, like a wave that is constantly in motion, while at the same time repeating and timeless.

Featuring Tobias Andersson, Joel Fabiansson, Johan Ekeberg and Joel Haag on electric and acoustic guitars. Available on streaming and vinyl

Silent Cities

Silent Cities features ten of Tobias original compositions. Together with his ensemble (Petter Iderström Pankinaho on trumpet, Alma Möller on viola, Viktor Reuter on bass and William Soovik on drums) an atmospheric sonic space is orchestrated. The modern city acts as a backdrop: the rushing and roaring contrasted by a glowing nocturnal silence. Out of the silence is born a music charged with wonder and mystery. View album
