- Latest release on digital platforms from Einnicken Records is the compilation album "Memento - the scene, the music". The recordings were made during the music collective Memento's most active time and originally published in 2003. So here are most of the musicians and groups who were part of Eskilstuna's alternative music scene at this time: Johannes Rytzler, Nods Off, Jason & the Argonauts, Mattias Greén, Thomas Rydell, Two Sounds Ensemble, Marcus Arnström, The Curtain, Fundamental Form, Rytzler Trio, Stefan Wistrand, CCR and Soviac. On the album the musicians move freely between different genres such as electronics, improvisation, free jazz and experimental rock. Stefan Wistrand's composition for solo bass clarinet is incidentally included on the sound track for the recently premiered documentary "Hans Arnold - Penselns häxmästare" (2019) by director Micke Engström.

- In spring 2019 Stefan Wistrand's biography of legendary Swedish jazz musician Börje Fredriksson (1937-1968) was released by Bo Ejeby Förlag. Börje Fredriksson is one of the really rare own voices within Swedish jazz, both as a saxophonist and composer. The book, entitled "Börje Fredriksson, saxofonist", reproduces the story of his music and short but intense career, while at the same time giving a picture of the man behind the music. As a complement, Caprice Records publishes 15 tracks of unique material, all from a number of radio recordings.

"It's a neat and comprehensive book where Wistrand curiously considers Fredriksson from different perspectives. The early years, the establishment and the recognition, the music, the recordings and the man are described in different chapters - one by one the pieces fall into place and create a credible picture of the man and the musician Börje Fredriksson, two sides of the same coin according to Wistrand. Fredriksson definitely belonged to the category that didn't separate music from life. He was equally uncompromising about both, no safety net was there."

"Det är en nätt och innehållsrik bok där Wistrand nyfiket betraktar Fredriksson ur olika perspektiv. De tidiga åren, etableringen och erkännandet, musiken, inspelningarna och människan beskrivs i olika kapitel - en efter en faller bitarna på plats och skapar en trovärdig bild av människan och musikern Börje Fredriksson, två sidor av samma mynt enligt Wistrand. Fredriksson tillhörde definitivt kategorin som inte separerade musiken från livet. Han var lika kompromisslös gällande båda, något skyddsnät fanns inte."
