this musical story spans over 26 years.
it started in 1996 in the czeck republic on a cold winter 10-day exploration of the human voice. several years later, after many diverse “ life-mystery”-experiences, on several continents, i started to offer the 5Rhythms® movement meditation in 2004.
the musical story has it’s roots in me offering more than 1200 evening and weekendsessions in the timespan from 2004 until present. weekly, monthly classes with dancers, from 6 regular visitors up to 144. weekend workshops in the swiss alps, in austria, italy, spain, greece, germany, turkey and sporadical events in holland, france, emirates, singapore and thailand.
since i have been a musician, starting in 1974, the live music offerings of the 5Rhythms® has added an extra dimension to my musical language and life itself. alone, supported by loops and keyboard i use trumpet, didgeridoo, djembe and percussion to add diversity to the musical journey intended. with fellow musicians, mostly in a duo setting we have explored more then 300 events/evenings within those 16 years of “grounding the practice”.
the musical story presented in this “package” is the sum of all my musical experiences connected to the spiritual practice of the 5Rhythms®. the “only” picture and “small” intention i had before i started, was to use a little of the energy created on Gabrielle Roth’s recording/cd “initiation” plus use a little of an electronic touch.

as you will experience, the musical landscape presented is rather endless with focus on mood and groove instead of fixed melodies and songs.
all material has been recorded by myself, using a surdo, standtom, two djembes, shakers, a slide didgeridoo, rainstick, chekere, trumpet, fluegelhorn, flute, jews harp and my nord lead 3 keyboard. i also used some processing from my kyma system (symbolic sound) plus effects from eventide & lexicon.
i did the editing and mixed in logic pro.
in the summer of 2020 pratibha and frederik did add their musical expressions to the project, me traveling to holland and denmark on my way to native sweden, the summer of my mothers funeral.
the name of this project is “rest in peace” and is dedicated to my beloved mother birgitta lord/ lindvall. she will have a place in my heart until my last breath on this earth.
the title “rest in peace” does not necessarily suggest to rest and wait, more inviting you to be responsible in your doings, to be more fully present in your actions and for sure seek support and help in the different settings you engage in, in a way that supports your heart. for me this path has been blessed with the flexible structure of the 5Rhythms® which i still engage in and offer on a regular basis.
take your truthful action and let your being stay resting in a peaceful place.
