In this project, Edvin Fridolfsson has explored how to integrate the drums as a tool for composing - unlike before, when he mainly has composed by the piano. He has been interested in how the process of composing can affect his compositions, but foremost how it can affect his playing when performing his own music. A main goal for the whole project has been to make his compositions and his playing feel like one strong unit together. Fridolfsson describes how he has found a strategy for composing, which brings the drums into the process, but also makes external influences into new songs. Further, his way of putting a group together, rehearsing and the results of the final concert are described.  In the end, Fridolfsson concludes that his new ways of composing have made him more aware of what he wants to bring into the music as a drummer. He finds that the compositions in themselves sound in a similar way to his earlier works, but that the concert, as a whole, feels more variated and organic.
