I work full time as a Business Intelligence developer, but in the spare time I have, I enjoy creating music and have done so for many years on and off. 
The name Galactic Shades of Dust is a name a previous colleague of me suggested for a song I made which I didn't have a name on, so I thought why not use what he suggested for artist name. You' will find that track in my track list. 

I do listen to a lot of music, get inspiration and every day is a new chapter to learn something.  
I am doing everything self and have learned a lot regarding mixing and mastering. If someone enjoy a song I've made it makes me happy. If someone have feedback on what I've made I appreciate that too. 

I started in the eighties playing in the local school band and later discovered fast tracker/Scream tracker, then I continued to Cakewalk and have the last at least ten year used Cubase and is on version 12. Among equipment I use are: Korg Z1, Yamaha CS1x, Roland MC303, Novation A-Station, Casio CZ1000, Waldorf Blofeld, Waldorf Pulse 2 and DSI Prophet 08. Recent I've bought and solder an Ambika and PreenFM2 which was very fun. I use a lot of software synth like Diva, Hive and Arturia package, Korg collection, Surge.  

Most of the songs listed here have been created a long time ago. When I became a father it was hard finding time to create, therefore I’ve been off for some time. But I have now started creating again and am looking forward for every creative moment. 

I will upload new tracks when I as soon as I finish them. I am continuously working on several projects. Music I enjoy listening to is Jean Michel Jarre, Chromeo, Chvrches, Luke Million, Daft Punk, Mezzoforte, Lifelike, M83, old disco classics like Earth Wind and Fire, The Brother Johnson and D-Train and of course a lot of the music that came out in the 80s and 90s.

If you have any technical question or feedback don't hesitate, leave a comment and I will respond :-)

I'm a producer and remixer from Denmark. On this soundcloud page I will feature several projects, including the following:

- Remixes I do under the monikers "Blue Swan" (pop and disco remixes) and "Flying Spaghetti Monster" (club and hip-hop remixes).

- My band Blue Swan - an electronic pop duo I have with vocalist Henrik Jürgensen. We recorded three unreleased albums from 2004 to 2008. All three albums are downloadable for FREE here - just check under "sets". We are currently on hiatus, but will return.

- Original instrumental tracks I do solo under various aliases.

- DJ mixsets I will compile from time to time.

Most of the stuff posted on this page will be freely downloadable. If you want to use a track in a DJ mix, please do so, just be sure to let me know. :-)

Chadore er svævende, melankolsk drømmepop pakket ind i en stilren, klinisk, elektronisk baggrund inspireret af 80’ernes melodiske synth-pop. Musikken, som synges på dansk, krydres med en enkel, underspillet og forsigtig vokal som kontrast til det pakkede lydbillede. De ufiltrerede, ucensurerede tekster handler ofte om uforløste drømme, tab, konfliktfyldte relationer og en længsel efter en bedre fremtid.
