Last year I started The Light In Demos. I didn’t really know what it was going to be, I just knew that it was something I wanted to do. Part of the fun was figuring out what it was. I learned a lot, and while there were times that it was hard, it was always a lot of fun.
This year I’m going to do something similar, but maybe a bit more elaborate. I’m trying to up the ante I suppose. I’ve been in the studio recording songs and I’m going to start releasing them one at a time. I’ve also continued to film the world around me, at home in Sweden and New York and when I bounce around (currently in LA searching for an early spring). With every song will come a video. I’m going to call the whole thing When The Bird Sees The Solid Ground and the first song is called “An Ocean”.
“An Ocean” is the first episode of When The Bird Sees The Solid Ground, a project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.
I’ll release the songs and videos on the same day once every month beginning today. I’m also going on tour.

“Both Sides Now” (Joni Mitchell) is the third episode of The Light in Demos, a video project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.

“Talk Pyramids” is the sixth episode of The Light in Demos, a video project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.

“Bird Flew By” (Nick Drake) is the fifth episode of The Light in Demos, a video project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.
The Tallest Man on Earth launched a new video series called “The Light in Demos,” where he will debut new material every two weeks. In an introductory monologue that references Bill Callahan’s “To Be of Use,” he explains, “I’m going to be making these videos because I want to be a part of us inspiring each other to figure this out, to do cool things, to feel and practice love in our hearts. The Tallest Man on Earth has revealed that he will not be touring or releasing a new full-length album this year, he recently shared a collaborative EP with New York-based chamber ensemble yMusic. His last record was 2015’s Dark Bird Is Home.

These past two weeks have been a little crazy, but the good kind (I practice a few different ones). Finally I managed to sit down in front of the camera for a second,
“All I Can Keep is Now” is the fourth episode of The Light in Demos, a video project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.

“Same Ghost” is the second episode of a video project I started working on . I’ve decided to produce, write, direct, record, shoot and edit a series of videos by myself and release them here as I finish them. Each video features a demo of a new song or a cover that I record live on camera (except when friends join, their parts will likely be overdubbed).
While I love playing shows, and will get back out on the road eventually, I’ve found myself wanting to record what’s right in front of me, but not just through song, and not months or years after the fact. And while making music is endlessly inspiring, so is being quiet enough to stare at the way the light hits the barn.
I want to share the light and the sound, but not without a bit of risk – I’m not used to sharing demos – and not without a bit of uncertainty. Subscribe to my channel to see them as they happen. I hope you enjoy. K.M
