Göteborgselektronikerna ('the Gothenburg electro engineers') makes electronic music played and tweaked by hand on analog synths and drum machines with inspiration from Kraftwerk, Jarre, Knight Rider & Miami Vice

Göteborgselektronikerna met in Martins' apartment and started improvising in Nov 2013. The pieces of music that emerged turned into songs some months later. Among the first were 'Lyftet', 'Elektrod' and 'Hållplatz'. 

The members all have long experiences from electronic bands like Octolab and Söderut but also more experimental music in other genres. The resulting mix is an old school approach to (mostly) instrumental electronic music that reaches for the seventies and eighties and puts them in the present.

Picking up an old interest that I've never indulged before. Learning to show who I am and letting stuff go. Into all sorts of music, but electronic music has a special place in my heart, especially psytech, tech house, and oldschool acid trance. I love the sounds! My all-time favourite record is Depeche Mode's Violator. I almost never listen to lyrics (the exception is Violator, basically), but very much to chords and harmonics. Fifths are my favourite! Nice harmonies, filter sweeps, and resonances can keep me occupied for a long time :) 

I'm aiming for being able to do consistent complete live jams, but until then... The tracks here are most often created by programming sequences and then jamming them together on the fly. The Volcas have no pattern chaining, so I have to change sequences at exactly the right spot manually. The TB-03 and TR-09 have better sequencers, which let a sequence finish before the next one start, which frees my hands for the synchronizing the Volca pattern changes - although it takes some brainpower to "enqueue" the pattern changes, which means changing patterns before they actually need to change. Sometimes, I have a bunch of patterns that I feel that I just have to use, but have problems making them converge - in some cases it has taken weeks. In those cases I eventually end up writing a kind of "score" laying out the pattern chaining. It is funny, though, the tracks I really like best are the ones that came very easy, and only took a few hours to make.

Hobby music maker. Learning to play the piano. Nils Frahm, Moderat and Göteborgselektronikerna are my favorites
