Korg Monopoly, Moog Prodigy, Korg MS-20, Philicorda organ. I played all instruments and used a Roland RE-501 tape echo when recording this piece in february 2005. It was first used as a soundtrack in a film made for Naturskolan in Malmö.

Tangerine

One Moog Prodigy (very low frequency base) and one Korg MS-20 (white noise) using a Doepfer 8-step sequencer. Two tracks only. Recorded ca 2012.

This song is a sketch. A bit catchy, although there are some mistakes here and there. especially the horn should be worked on a bit (!). The song was used in a film about gentrification in the Möllevången area in Malmö: Gentrifieringen av Möllan 2002 (SUBTV) versus 2012 (RåFilm).
Very much inspiration to the song has come from Jean-Jacques Pereille and his jazzy pop music experiments during the late 60's.
I play a Moog Prodigy, Korg MS-20, Philicorda organ, Roland CR-78 drum machine, Doepfer 8 step sequencer and some hunting horns. 
Recorded 2012 in my apartment at smedjegatan in malmö.

Horn Jive

This track is partly created out of a 7 plus 5 rhythm. other layers is following a six fours rhythm. Quite advanced for me, so it took some time to make it through. Especially the cello part was difficult.
This track is inspired by Steve Reich and maybe also Philip Glass and friends to them. Erik Högström played the violin (six parts?), the cello (two parts) and the Philicorda organ. Recorded 2012 in Erik's apartment at smedjegatan in malmö.

My only existing, reasonable, recording from when being 
the owner of a RITM 2, the incredible little soviet synth. 
It was stolen in a burglary some years ago. 
The track is recorded in the Allmogen studio in Malmö 2007.

RITM 2

Originally performed live with Fredrik Holm dubling the melody on a Roland synth and me reciting a french text taken from the book Le socialisme pour la france. The author is describing the visions for the french people from a leftish point of view in 1975. 
These instruments were used:
Moog Prodigy, Korg MS-20, Roland CR-78 and Philicorda organ.
Roland RE-501 tape echo, Smallstone phaser.
Recorded 2012 in my apartment at Smedjegatan in Malmö.

This song is under construction. a female voice should be added to this recording later on. I have made a german text, partly from a german school book from the 60's, about following the Rhein valley up the alps by car: "Stundenlang ging die Strasse immer Aufwärts"... I might add some acoustic drums too...  Fredrik Holm appears on the track playing on a Roland SH-101.

Hanna-Maria Strand: Vocals
The song is an old gregorian one. I've forgotten which one...
While recording the voice a Roland RE-201 tape echo was used.
Erik Högström: Farfisa Partner 15 organ and a Moog Prodigy. 
The organ recording is made from three (?) parts put together 
while using very much tape echo to create the ambient, almost 
floating sound.
The Moog Prodigy drone is made from six  parts put together.
Recorded in the summer of 2002 in my apartment, Smedjegatan 
in Malmö. 
One of my very earliest studio recordings.

Erikum

Benedictum (2002)

Ronja Yu is telling a partly improvised story about what she experiences while walking around in the heart of Beijing as a 12-year old girl in the early eighties.
The group was built up from an experimental music project Dan Johansson and Erik Högström had in Stockholm from 1999 to 2002. This very concert was something unique. The three other participants joined only for this occasion.
Ronja Yu: voice
Dan Johansson: bass guitar
Morty McCarthy (ex Sultans of ping): drums
Daniel Ronnstam: percussion 
Erik Högström: Roland Juno 60, Moog Prodigy
