Black Stone Sanctuary proudly presents a long-form interview with Ulf Söderberg, aka Sephiroth. An early version was released in 2018 to Substack paid subscribers only. I'm over-the-moon excited to release the updated version publicly on @paragraph. If you’re among those who’ve been banging on the quality-over-quantity, impact-over-engagement drum (keep it up), I invite you to give this a read. The creative process for the interview spanned several years — a slowcore record for us both — and it’s 100% human-written and -edited. Ulf is my all-time fav musician, full stop. Collaborating with him marks a high point for me as a music writer. If you haven't heard of him despite his stature, it may be because his music isn't on Spotify, Apple, BC, etc. Copies of his OOP albums go for astounding prices on Discogs. His work can only be heard unofficially on YT. Enjoy! https://paragraph.xyz/@blackstonesanctuarypm.me/scandinavian-heritage-an-interview-with-ulf-soderberg?referrer=danicaswanson.eth

Soon the interview will also be available on Leanpub as a download in PDF or EPUB format, including behind-the-scenes bonus material.

I still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong with Metamask when it comes to collecting pieces on Paragraph, but I was able to collect it with Coinbase.

It’s such a pleasure to read an interview packed with so much substance. I already know I’ll need to go back and read it a few more times just to dig into all the gems that were mentioned. Huge thanks for taking the time to put this together! A few snippets that really stood out to me: > A quote from John O'Donohue always brings to mind Söderberg’s music for me: "I always think that music is what language would love to be if it could." > Learn how to be sensitive. Open your senses like a child. > When you walk past that sweet spot, the sound will reach you for maybe half a second. If you're not trained and skilled and you don't open your senses, you'll miss it! > Gear is seductive and fun, but ultimately it's not the most important thing. Creativity beats gear every time.
