In ”Gå på feeling – att ta det osäkra före det osäkra” guitar player Simon Löfstedt investigates intuitive musical composition with the guitar in focus. Löfstedt describes his previous compositions as detailed and complex. In this project het akes a step away from this, letting himself being ruled by intuition when composing music. He achieves this by using simple, short fragments of music, playing these with a selected group of musicians. A thorough description of the process describes choosing musicians, rehearsals and listening to recordings of these rehearsals. Here Simon outlines the fragments growth from embryos to full compositions during/post rehearsals and how the other musicians affect the final outcome. He also describes setbacks during the process in form of doubt and inner conflict. Simon describes himself being determined in finding a way of mixing different types of guitar techniques and genres while still maintaining a focused artistic approach. He also describes his musical background, which mainly derives from rock’n’roll, and how this has a major influence on the final outcome. Löfstedt’s focus on guitar sound is constantly present and he presents a thorough description of guitars, effects and amplifiers. Here he explains the choices that he makes when putting together his final setup, which is customized for the final musical result. In the final reflection Löfstedt describes his musical journey from past to present and the conclusions that he has made finishing this project. / <p>Repertoar:</p><p>Someday - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Euphoria State - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Lightspeed - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Bells - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Gold - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Swan Song - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Valley - Simon Löfstedt</p><p>Medverkande:</p><p>Ludwig Gustavsson - trumset</p><p>Gabriel Dahl - elbas</p><p>Simon Löfstedt - elgitarr</p>
