A couple of years ago I wrote a soundtrack to a Swedish short film called “Vit som snö” or “White as snow” in English. Neither the movie or the song is made for Christmas, but the lead motive could actualy pass for one of my Christmas songs, so I decided to share a download with you, as well as the short film (which unfortunately doesn’t have any English subtitles).

The movie is about 12-year-old David whos grandfather is terminally ill. David decides that he needs to save him and embarks on a quest to find a way to save him from death. On his quest he meets the mysterious Viggo who takes him around to different rooms and people in the hospital to find an answer he probably already knows. Can you talk to death?

The movie is made by Carolina Rung and Anna Eliasson graduates at the Stockholm Film School in 2008.

Last week I was a guest on the Bob River’s show at KJR 95.7 (Seattle) and I played a few songs. You can have a listen to the segment here!

You can also have a look (!) at the show:

Last week I was on KSER 90.7 FM Everett’s Blue Moon Lounge (very fitting name since my first album is called Blue Moon) and you can have a listen to that interview here. (You’ll have to fast forward to the end of the first 8pm segment, and then the interview continues on the 9pm segment.)

I also did a short interview and played some songs on another great show at KSER, Nordic Roots and Branches with the ever lovely host Karen Pauley. You can tune in to that here!

E – Part Four of H.A.T.E

So you thought the year was over? That there would be no more Sofia-songs to enjoy? Well you thought wrong. As a special treat we still have “E – Part Four of H.A.TE” coming up December 1st like an early Christmas gift.

I’m so happy to tell you that the last EP of the H.A.T.E saga is being recorded by Swedish band Akribi, who is the first band in the project to have a female singer (and she’s pretty damn hot too!).

In a sea of generic female-fronted metal bands, Akribi blatantly defies the worn-out gothic/operatic formula, staying uncompromisingly true to its progressive- and melodic metal roots. Based in the Swedish metal capital of Gothenburg, Akribi delivers its own brand of metal influenced by genre-defining acts such as Dream Theater, Symphony X and Marillion, but also by bands far outside the progressive genre.

Their debut album “Black Morning Sun” has recently been released to great acclaim, with reviewers calling it: “a jewel of an album, and a must have for fans of new progressive metal” and “premier league prog metal immaculately recorded with impeccable sound“, with the band being called: “one of the best female fronted progressive metal bands I’ve ever heard“.

So my hopes for Akribi’s addition to H.A.T.E is sky high!

Akribi has actually already sent me a teaser by a few pics from the studio. Let the count down begin!

Göteborgs Kung byxlös?

Sugen på Kräftor? Det är jag! Man måste ju äta riktiga havskräftor när man befinner sig på bästkusten. Idag var jag och hälsade på i P4 Göteborgs “Äntligen fredag” med Hasse Andersson. Han passade på att ge mig ett fint recept på kräftkok och jag spelade en låt live. Lyssna här:  P4 WEBBRADIO


Jag och mitt nya morrongäng-band!

Men innan dess passade jag på att göra några avslöjanden om Göteborgs-artisten David Urwitz byxlösa förflutna i Mix Megapols “Morrongänget”. We go way back jag och David… hehe. Lyssna in er på Mix Megapol så får ni höra hela historien: Webbradio Morrongänget


David – med eller utan byxor…

Men missa för all del inte Davids förträffliga musik! Besök honom här: http://www.myspace.com/davidurwitz
