Vägen by Nevrin - Landin - Danemo

November 2009, B-studion at Sami. Pianist Klas Nevrin and bassist Pär-Ola Landin didn’t hesitate when I called them with my idea. My idea was very simple: "Let’s play together, without preparation, plan, or goal. Play a note or two, and let what happens show us the way."

We met in a room, set up microphones.Apart from a few notes during the soundcheck, we had never played together before. 

We exchanged a glance, and then we started to play. Suddenly, an hour and a half had passed. I quickly mixed the recording and sent it to Klas and Pär-Ola. We were all happy with what had emerged, and we briefly considered whether we should do something with the recording.

Sixteen years later, I dug up the recording and was pleasantly surprised when I listened to it. I mixed it once more and sent it to Klas and Pär-Ola with the question: "This should be released—what do you think?”


This is the result of that brief encounter—a snapshot of a meeting between three musicians, where their curiosity about each other and what would unfold guided them forward.

The music on this record was created spontaneously, with no specific plan or goal, other than the exploration of what unfolds in the moment.

Klas Nevrin - Piano

Peter Danemo - Drums

Peter Danemo is a Stockholm-based drummer and composer whose music has an unerring feeling for dynamics and form. Words like “explosive” and “unpredictable” are often used to describe his drumming, while critics have variously called the many recordings and tours he has been involved in as “forward thinking”, “creative” and “unpredictable”.
