This inspiring book, in Swedish translation by Sven Smedberg, is about the inner sources of spontaneous creation and about where art in the broadest sense comes from. It is about why we create and what we learn when we do it. About the flow of unhindered creative energy: the joy of creating art in all its various forms.
Spela fritt is aimed at all people who want to seek contact with, nurture and strengthen their creative ability. It integrates material from a wide selection of sources in art, science, and spiritual traditions. The book is filled with amusing and enlightening anecdotes and original metaphors, showing how inspiration grows from within, how inspiration can be blocked, misguided or obscured by certain unavoidable facts of life, and finally how it can be released - how we can be freed to speak, sing, dance, write, paint or play, with our own authentic voice. Play freely is a book for everyone who makes music. But also for those who are creative in other ways or who want to develop their ability to create and live freely.
The book has received much and effusive praise: ""Playing freely is an interesting review of the conditions of creation ... with lucrative examples that increase the reading pleasure and point to very useful and useful things. It is also a practical handbook for the hard-pressed creator who feels stuck in eternal dead ends.” (Benny Holmberg, Kulturen newspaper) "... a text that is both pleasant and provocative to read. Play freely is not a fact book, but rather an aid to self-help. Full of energy and wisdom.” (Mikael Strömberg, Aftonbladet) “This is an unusually intense, well-fed, well-thought-out book about the most difficult subject in the whole world: the mysterious creativity. If you want to be intellectually informed about how people really create, then you should read it at least once.” (Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) "I wish Free Play found its way to every school, office, hospital and factory. It is an extremely invigorating book and an extremely important one.” (Violinist Yehudi Menuhin) "... the most important book on improvisation I have come across so far." (Pianist Keith Jarrett) "The mother of all improv books." (Jeffrey Agrell, University of Iowa)
