G:s story told by friends

Hidden behind a letterbox in the center of a Swedish town called Norrköping lies Gustav Magnussons cd âThe Söderåkra Sessionâ. It's a friend of producer Jacob Alm who has hidden the record at this location while he jumps off and on the passing train between Västerås and Karlskrona. Later the same night the producer gets the mysterious messege âpackage deliveredâ. Producer Jacob, who is on his way home from a very late party, is prepared for anything. Out of couriosity he takes the route past the letterbox in the early hours of the morning. He finds the recording. And then what happens? Gustav and Jacob hook up during summer 2005 and that's the start of an exciting collaboration in DAVES recording studio in Norrköping. After a month filled with fantastic musicians and more friends than you can count, seven of the tunes are complete.

Gustav goes of to the â Ballymalloe Cookery School â in Ireland and returns with monkfish. He is greeted by thick winter snow in Sweden . The record is completed and Gustav is off again. This time to familly on Hawaii where he plays at pubs, cafés and twice on âHawaiian Public Radioâ (KIPO), resulting in coverege on theartsofhonolulu.com. In Sweden the biggest festival after Roskilde , ie the Hultsfredsfestival, wants him to join, Gustav returnes for final mastring. His new cover and homepage hits the scene.



Gustav is born in Stockholm , moved to Norway long enough to say something odd in Norweigian. He grew up in Malmoe, outside Copenhagen , with his dad. He would meet his mother on Hawaii with ukkuleles. He sang in choirs and played piano at his grannys place when he was big enough to reach the pedals. His funky guitarteacher advised him to try on his own and he did. Malmö beeing the musical south of Sweden he meet a whole bunch of musicians. They started their own band called âBuilding Bearsâ. When Gustav moves to study architecture the band splits. He ends up playing on his own in a space not much bigger than his studentbed. His mates at university walk around the grounds humming his tunes and demand a cd. Gustav is forced to go off to a tiny studio in a barn outside his university town Karlskrona and spend his last Swedish kroner on four hours of studiotime. Gustav and the producer who works in the barn, has so much fun that Gustav misses his last bus back to town . The result is an intresting recording and the fastest carrace ever, with a bus. After this uncompromising procedure, the record can be heard on Canadian Radio. It is recomemded on websites such as âdigfi.comâ. Soon a thousand students walk around singing the songs, and just as many records are sold. This is the story how the real production started with producer Jacob Alm.
