About Me

Helo mankind!
I was thinking.. Am I a part of you? Cause to me it seems there are certain rules that has to be followed if my will is to be in your great team. It also seems that lots of people take for granted that these rules are natural and a sort of guarantee to follow which of course results in a safe membership. But what are those rules really about? What do they tell? Well, this membership thing really creates a dilemma. Because if I'm a member, yes, I am certainly one of billions in the big machine and I'll just have to rely on and trust what people say or decide but doesn't that also mean I am a nobody? I'm not talking about trying to be strange, different or in fact more valuable than anyone else. I'm talking about avoiding getting used, being told things that always has been told and taking part of the masses that wont dare to sacrifice a thing because of wanting something back, having to defend their pride or basically only being able to think of them selves because that's what they're told to do (Will I have to follow those rules?). I'm talking about standing my ground for the right to fight for my own individuality and say no. I have decided. I want to join another membership. Another family. The family of individuals!
Helo individuals!!
My name is Wilhelm Lindqvist. I'm a musician interested in reaching people through music. I write lots of music and the material as a product (sort of) will be presented in a new started band project that soon will be out playing live. So stay tuned!
Ciao!
Affected by the changes
Affected by the changes is just a sketch of what later will become a song. This version is without vocals which I am to record as fast as I get a good microphone. The music was recorded at my portable computer last summer. It is part of a concept called "The seek of the olive tree". It is the third track in the first chapter of three, called "Dilemma". If this sounds interesting you should stay tuned!
Soldier of fortune
This is the result of my idea to go interpreting Deep Purple's old ballad from one of their greatest albums called Stormbringer. This "waily" kind of singing felt natural at the point when it was performed but now after several listenings I wouldn't claim it's the best cover I've made. But anyhow, this version gives you a fairly good picture of what I am as a singer.
Hope you enjoy!
Mary's mind
A couple of years ago I had the privilege to compose the music for a passion play. It was pretty much a play that portrayed Christ's last hours just as it has been portrayed so many times (for example in "Passion of the Christ"). But this version was special. It was played and sung by people of all different ages and as i can remember it made it very personal and convincing. This part, if you will, is Christ's mother Mary's part. It contains her inner thoughts right after she's convinced her son has died. Very heavy thoughts indeed... Anyway, this is the sketch I gave to the one that played Mary, just for practicing actually. In 2008 I reused it in a musical with the same theme. You can hear it is a crappy recording but it gives you, just what it is, a sketch.

My Interests

Member Since: 27/05/2007
Influences: I realized some years ago that you can find something good, something that can bring up thaughts and ideas or just something that creates impulses and tempts spontaneity to grow in each and every music style. So what I did was to start seeing people as musicians or entertainers instead of someones representing a sertain genre (ex. Reggae people, Indie people, Folk, Baroque musicians, Samba people, Skaa people, Synthers, Emocore people, Power-Heavy-Thrash-Gothic-Zombie-Black Prog-Glam-Forest-and all kinds of metallers, Popers, Hip hopers, Neo progers, Soul people, Country people etc..). I mean sometimes I just feel that it’s rediculous that we are this pedantic about genres. We have a weird need of putting names on everything and we tend to forget that there is in fact a songwriter behind each song out there. Someone writing music. I want people to do what makes them happy to do within music but I believe that you limit your self when you choose one genre and say ”Hey, this is really me”. I believe that you are so much more than one genre. So I find influences everywhere basically. But my music may though sound like something you’ve heard before. But I beg you, before you put it in a sertain box, listen to it as if it’s just music. Cause this discussion is not really about what it sounds like. It’s about respecting thaughts and perposes the song writer has had during the actual writing or even before that. Anyway, influences if not to mention everything in life are: Michael Jackson, Volund, Camel, Ted Gärdestad, Avishai Cohen, Judas Priest, Anders Glenmark, Pain of salvation (Daniel Gildenlöw), Alison Krauss, Eric Whitacre, Union Station, Coldplay, Esbjörn Svensson (R.I.P.), Opeth, Anthony Arjen Lucassen and all of his different projects, Deep Purple, Kalle Klockars, Disney music (!), Trading Fate, Lars Gullin, Racer X (Paul Gilbert), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (especially for Les Misérables), James LaBrie, Celine Dion, Van Halen and David Lee Roth for their amazing joy and for a thousand smiles, Devin Townsend, Stravinsky, Jenny Björkqvist, Genesis (mostly from the Phil Collins-on vocals-era, but I love it all), Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder), Beyonce, Symphony X, Eloy, Håkan Hellström, Annie Cornels, Sieges even, Vanessa Carlton, The Ark, ARK with Jorn Lande, Europe, Francis Dunnery, It Bites, IQ, Jerusalem, Cirkus Pop, Andromeda, Rage against the machine.... and pretty much everyone else to..
