One of fifty

I recently got the killerpack of Bong-Ra‘s album Monolith. Click each image for a bigger version. The vinyl, or should I say vinyls. Sadly, they had been abused by the postal service. Inside the gatefold case was a poster. A toetag with some information on, including my name missing the J in Hjort. The toetag [...]

A new toy

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.

On the cover

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.

I don’t really have much to tell, because everything went fine. Except for a H&M person telling me I had to ask their [...]

Recordings that just keep on going

Today I set out with my faithful Edirol R-09 to record the escalators downtown. I didn’t really know how many locations I would be recording at, but I had an estimate in my head. My first stop was Uppsala Konsert & Kongress but I was told by a security guard that the place was closed [...]

Why so cereal?
