Some time in 2007 I as usual went into a local music store and headed straight for their “demo shelf”. It was more or less a daily routine for me, always hoping to find a new demo by a local group/artist. And that very day I found something special, namely Geld‘s first and only demo; [...]
You’re your own worst critic, or you should be, and back in 2006 when I first started out making horrible (in a bad way) noise, I wasn’t. I uploaded everything I did, and rarely looked back at what I did. In way it was a good thing, but generally I’d say that it was a [...]
During a recent talk with my friend David, also known as IOK-1, he mentioned that he has around 150 plays a week on his SoundCloud. I don’t know how many I have, but it’s far from that much. Then again, I don’t really post much stuff other than experiments and excerpts. Partly it’s because I [...]
A few days ago I bought a used Roland SPD-6. I’m mainly gonna use it for triggering sounds, but for the time being I don’t have the cable I need. So here’s some random play on it.
As mentioned in the first post about the project, the total length of the sounds is 2:51 hours. But that included a bunch of unwanted sounds. Now, after some heavy editing, the total length is down to 2:07 hours. Below you can hear an example of the unwanted sound, and also a brief sample of [...]
Armed with my Edirol R-09 and two JrF contact mics I spent 2011 recording all of Uppsala’s public escalators.

Another year, and another time to summarize what I’ve done, just like I did in 2009 and 2010. One album, five EP’s and one gig. So compared to the past two years I haven’t been that creative. Or well, I haven’t released as much. The first release was the recording of my gig in Gävle, [...]
A short while ago I was contacted by a journalist from Upsala Nya Tidning, they were going to ask a bunch of local music acts about their favorite covers. And they wanted me to participate. My list is as follows: Marilyn Manson – Sweet dreams (are made of this) (Eurythmics) Frida Snell – Bullet with [...]

Long time, no post. Well, here’s some news. On November 8th I’ll be curating (read: organizing) Brus. I’ve hooked up the acts, and on Monday I’ll have a meeting with a guy about stuff I need to know/fix. And here’s the poster I made for the evening. It took me about two hours, while watching [...]
