Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.18,0:02:00.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the glaring elephant in the room is that I spend all my best energy

Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.36,0:02:58.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the thing is that I feel so personally
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.72,0:03:03.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for whatever I put out on the internet with my name on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.24,0:03:08.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I don't really have that... option. [laughs]

Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.37,0:03:56.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The process is built from the ground up
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.83,0:03:59.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the intention of making a video.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.20,0:04:05.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This means that my processes are not designed to be as efficient as possible for the completion of the machine.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.52,0:04:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you remember a couple of weeks ago when I was thinking about the marble divider redesign,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.44,0:04:12.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I took the decision to not release a video;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.16,0:04:18.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Wednesday when I dropped the thought of video and started to think about mechanical designs instead,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.82,0:04:22.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, 100 percent for that day, was one of the best days
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.62,0:04:25.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've had for a long time in my studio...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.20,0:04:28.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I felt I had like these oceans of time
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.28,0:04:33.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my creativity has always been like highly dependent on this free amount of time,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.36,0:04:37.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I'm just, like, in a... in an ocean of time, and there's nothing else;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.60,0:04:40.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I know that if I can just find a seed of a good idea,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.94,0:04:43.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can craft it into something beautiful.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.68,0:04:48.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't find the place for this kind of creative process within the weekly upload schedule.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.12,0:04:53.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My therapist said something great about formal and informal contracts,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.72,0:04:57.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this might sound very dull, but I love the concept:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.48,0:05:03.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel I have built up an informal contract with everyone who are watching this series;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.48,0:05:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I'm gonna bring you in to see me finish this process, and I will!
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.60,0:05:14.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the word "contract" makes this feel, like, super binding and negative.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.06,0:05:16.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's absolutely not at all what I mean here.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.46,0:05:20.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I mean here is that this is actually really inspiring for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.03,0:05:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel a responsibility to show you what this machine can do,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.44,0:05:27.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I need to do whatever I need to do to make that happen.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.90,0:05:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we come to the situation that the weekly videos are obstructing the path
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.60,0:05:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the Marble Machine X to become reality,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.32,0:05:43.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the weekly videos has to give way for the Marble Machine X completion.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.12,0:05:48.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I'm going to do is that I'm going to skip the weekly upload schedule.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.70,0:05:52.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm going to keep making videos; more epic, more relevant videos.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.98,0:05:55.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Videos that I feel 100 percent great about.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.76,0:05:58.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Videos that I really think are worthy of your time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.96,0:06:04.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So whenever something worth covering has happened in the process, I will make a video about that,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.26,0:06:08.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, hopefully, it will be more exciting and better than ever.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.80,0:06:13.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And... I've been trying hard to make the Wednesdays exciting but...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.92,0:06:18.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The artistic process that I'm going through is not always really exciting.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.40,0:06:20.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's mostly like a monumental grind.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.08,0:06:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember a comment a viewer made when I made a similar statement some years ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.58,0:06:28.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been talking about this non-stop.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.96,0:06:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The viewer said, like basically, "You do you. We support you!" and
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.72,0:06:41.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"It's only a shame for us because the window through which we look into your beautiful world gets smaller."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.36,0:06:44.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that comment stayed with me and I kind of...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.58,0:06:46.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I kind of agree...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.48,0:06:52.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we are now choosing between panoramic window looking into
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.60,0:06:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nothing being finished, nothing being created, no music being done;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.36,0:07:03.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a little peephole into the future where we're gonna explode the walls
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.96,0:07:07.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually go on a world tour
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.08,0:07:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with music that makes the hair on my arm stand up, okay?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.20,0:07:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to propel the project to that phase as quickly and as beautifully as possible,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.84,0:07:19.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think one of the largest qualities that I can show you
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.02,0:07:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the power of delayed gratification
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.64,0:07:26.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the power of, like, latent potential when you
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.24,0:07:29.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,give your best into a project for a long time and you don't give up.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.12,0:07:31.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've no clue how often a video will come out,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.74,0:07:34.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which leads me to addressing especially
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.64,0:07:37.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the youtube members and all the patrons.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.12,0:07:41.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First of all, I'm amazed what you have done for me
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.54,0:07:44.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that you put me in a position
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.16,0:07:48.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I am free to think about art 24/7.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.80,0:08:04.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I want to make the best possible use that I can of my time that you have given me.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.80,0:08:09.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, depending on how you feel about your support and what the support is for,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.12,0:08:14.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might reconsider your support at this moment and I fully, fully understand that.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.62,0:08:18.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you feel you want to support
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.32,0:08:22.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the music part of what I'm doing and the machine,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.76,0:08:27.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I hope you understand I'm doing this for the music and for the machine.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.44,0:08:32.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am not working less, I'm going to work smarter.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.36,0:08:39.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so I think there is now, like, maybe 300 000 people thinking this thought:

Dialogue: 0,0:08:46.64,0:08:50.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been having the same question mark in my head for two years,

Dialogue: 0,0:18:33.36,0:18:35.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Why? You can do both..."
Dialogue: 0,0:18:35.28,0:18:39.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this hardcore band went into their rehearsal place
Dialogue: 0,0:18:39.28,0:18:45.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and five times per week they played their whole set list of ten songs, two times per rehearsal.
Dialogue: 0,0:18:46.00,0:18:50.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One year later I had moved to Gothenburg, Sweden's second city,
Dialogue: 0,0:18:50.82,0:18:55.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they were coming to Gothenburg to play. And they were playing on this kind of youth place,
Dialogue: 0,0:18:55.68,0:19:01.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the floor, no stage, like no real PA system, just two speakers for the vocals and...
Dialogue: 0,0:19:01.84,0:19:05.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one microphone on the kick drum to give some bass, you know.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:05.26,0:19:10.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was like distorted guitar and all the other sounds comes directly from the amplifiers.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:10.56,0:19:13.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, no stage, everyone's standing on the floor,
Dialogue: 0,0:19:13.92,0:19:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and...
Dialogue: 0,0:19:15.60,0:19:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's the tightest concert,
Dialogue: 0,0:19:18.88,0:19:23.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the most impressive performance I've seen in my whole life to this very date.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:24.00,0:19:27.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I've been on a lot of large festivals,
Dialogue: 0,0:19:27.12,0:19:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seeing bands performing in front of 50 000 people.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:31.06,0:19:36.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they, just standing on the floor there, just rolled over me...
Dialogue: 0,0:19:36.80,0:19:41.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like a machine; they steamrolled over me!\N[imitates crushing sound]
Dialogue: 0,0:19:41.76,0:19:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was such an impactful experience! They had honed...
Dialogue: 0,0:19:47.12,0:19:50.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their edge to perfection, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:19:50.36,0:19:55.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They cut through all the bullshit... there is.
Dialogue: 0,0:19:55.36,0:20:01.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I went out of there and I was, like... because I was a music producer at the time, producing other bands,
Dialogue: 0,0:20:01.34,0:20:03.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was like: "I have to start my own band!"
Dialogue: 0,0:20:03.76,0:20:06.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went out of there, I took my phone up and called the drummer
Dialogue: 0,0:20:06.66,0:20:09.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I've been working with in the studio and I was, like:
Dialogue: 0,0:20:09.30,0:20:13.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Hey, we have to start a band!" [laughs] \N"When can you rehearse?"
Dialogue: 0,0:20:13.22,0:20:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was like Cartman in the South Park episode when he goes to Butters:
Dialogue: 0,0:20:16.48,0:20:20.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"We have to make a platinum album! Get your drums up and meet me at my place now!" [laughs]
Dialogue: 0,0:20:20.56,0:20:24.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was like that enthusiastic: "We start tomorrow, right?"
Dialogue: 0,0:20:24.54,0:20:27.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we started to play around a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:20:28.00,0:20:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That band, through some iterations, later became my first band Detektivbyrån.
Dialogue: 0,0:20:33.14,0:20:36.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Detektivbyrån was the band who propelled me from being a music producer
Dialogue: 0,0:20:36.96,0:20:42.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into transitioning into being artist myself, where I'm actually fronting my own music.
Dialogue: 0,0:20:42.20,0:20:46.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That later led to me starting Wintergatan.
Dialogue: 0,0:20:46.24,0:20:49.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So... that little decision...
Dialogue: 0,0:20:49.76,0:20:53.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of saying no to "Autumn Leaves" for the fast buck, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:20:53.38,0:20:57.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nothing against Autumn Leaves, I think it's a great song.
Dialogue: 0,0:20:57.78,0:21:03.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To focus on rehearsing with your hardcore band that no one knows about - yet...
Dialogue: 0,0:21:04.88,0:21:10.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That decision, in hindsight, I thought it was so impressive.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:10.08,0:21:14.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is something very similar about the situation now,
Dialogue: 0,0:21:14.24,0:21:18.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I hope that you can actually share my excitement in
Dialogue: 0,0:21:18.48,0:21:22.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,grabbing control of my situation and...
Dialogue: 0,0:21:22.30,0:21:26.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taking 70 percent of my time and resources
Dialogue: 0,0:21:26.26,0:21:31.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and putting it back on my table for creating art and see what I can do with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:31.24,0:21:36.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, so that's it. So for some weeks now, I think we will have videos every week.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:36.56,0:21:40.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Last three weeks in September I'm taking a vacation to meet my parents.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:40.28,0:21:43.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I come back from that, from first October...
Dialogue: 0,0:21:43.36,0:21:46.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's probably when you're gonna start to see
Dialogue: 0,0:21:46.34,0:21:49.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how often we upload videos. We'll just see what happens.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:49.86,0:21:53.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm really grateful for having such an intelligent
Dialogue: 0,0:21:53.60,0:21:56.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and patient audience.
Dialogue: 0,0:21:56.64,0:22:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm looking forward to taking what I'm doing as seriously as I need to take it
Dialogue: 0,0:22:02.32,0:22:05.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to really reach the goal I'm striving for.
Dialogue: 0,0:22:05.92,0:22:09.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you so much. See you on the next Wintergatan Wednesday.
Dialogue: 0,0:22:09.22,0:22:11.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Wilson, you have to finish the video.
