Weissenborn on a frozen lake (!) - video (and new tune)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cofPH5RYI4
My new song "Isolation Song", recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in an all-analogue studio with French artist Marjolaine on accordion and backing vocals (and my brother Valter on percussion and Sebastian Berghult on double bass).
The video was filmed on a frozen lake outside Stockholm (where I used to spend the summers as a child). We found some old "sparkstöttingar" (Swedish winter vehicles from a bygone era) in a barn, and shot a video (no script or plan ). My sister Anna shot and edited the video.
(Click on the "HD" or "HQ" youtube option for better sound and image quality).
I hope you will enjoy it!

Wow, Fred! This is a beautiful song & the video is spot-on!
The "close" delay on the vocal adds a real quality to this, & overall the effect along with your brother's percussion is quite awesome... you should be proud of this!
I would say it's "cool", but that would be a serious understatement... it looks absolutely bloody freezing, for God's sake put some gloves on!
But I guess to your Scandinavian blood this was a lovely warm day!

In my mind, I associate the sounds of the steel guitar with languid tropical climes. This shows another side, to be sure. Nice job, Fred (and friends)!

Thanks a lot guys - I am happy you enjoy the song and video!
I am happy with the recordings we made in Stockholm - two of these will be on my CD. Analogue equipment is great - the sound has a warmth that is unbeatable.
Thanks again all for listening!
Cheers,
Fred
