Introducing Helljon, the enigmatic musician whose artistic journey transcends boundaries and defies categorization. Born with an insatiable curiosity for sound and a deep passion for music, Helljon has carved a unique path through the diverse landscapes of the musical world, becoming renowned as a true "Musical Alchemist."
From an early age, Helljon displayed an innate talent and an uncanny ability to connect with various instruments. His unwavering desire to explore every nook and cranny of the musical spectrum led him to experiment with a multitude of genres, crossing boundaries that few dared to venture. Classical, jazz, rock, electronic, folk, hip-hop, world music - nothing was off-limits for Helljon's inquisitive mind and inventive spirit.
The story of Helljon, the Musical Alchemist, continues to unfold, and the world eagerly anticipates each new release, never knowing what genre-bending masterpiece he will unveil next. His musical journey is a testament to the power of unbridled creativity and the limitless possibilities that lie at the intersection of genres. As Helljon himself often says, 
"Music knows no boundaries, and neither do I."

I was a buddhist monk for 16 years, in the Thai Forest Tradition. Natthiko was the name given to me when I became a monk, in 1992. It means "One who grows in wisdom". It remains my aspiration.
Now I am a public speaker and a meditation teacher, in Sweden and abroad. I use Soundcloud primarily to share my guided meditations, in both Swedish and English.

Old geezer from Sweden, ex 1st generation punk, and lifelong writer of pop/rock songs in the classic vein, with lyrics in Swedish. 

I also dabble in electronica, after getting heavily into it as a listener a few years back. I like a lot of the stuff that comes out of Berlin, especially the more soulful and classically "musical" side of minimal, like Fritz Kalkbrenner, Trickski and Till von Sein (yes, I'm a fan of the Suol label). I quite enjoy dubstep as well, though it's farther from what I like to do myself (anyway, I hate that smeary snare sound).

I find that my roots come out in my electronic sounds on their own accord. I prefer to drive grooves with samples of "real" acoustic/electric instruments (even if I sometimes treat them heavily) and the song structures tend towards the classic as well. But most of all I enjoy the process of producing electronic tracks - serendipitous and surprisingly organic, almost like a one-man jam.

I can firmly say that I don't follow trends. I really have no idea what they are anyway. :-)
