writing and performing music is the soul's way of expressing and honouring the mystery of being here.

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. :-)
