West Coast

Out There

Originally from NYC, I’m a 37 year old married father of two beautiful girls, I’m now down in music city (coincidentally, I was a musician when I was younger but no longer these days). Nashville is a great city for people passionate about music, it’s been incredible to live here. I’m an annual Bonnaroo attendee, and other fun fests I’ve been to are Coachella, Lollapalooza, ACL, Bonnaroo, EDC, and will be attending Bourbon and Beyond this summer.

I have an extremely eclectic taste in music. My musical journey roughly is as follows:

Dave Matthews Band was my first concert with friends and no parents. From there I got into classic rock and dipped my toes in the jam band scene. I went full send on Phish when I got into them and they were my favorite for years. Through Phish and all of their covers, I got into pretty much everything haha. Indie was a big part of my of life during college and my time living solo in NYC, and now I’m a fan of electronic music primarily.

If I had to state my favorites these days, my top three would be Four Tet, Radiohead, and Frightened Rabbit. My kids already seem to love music, they must take after their father!

Nachdenken. Solo act by Jörgen Andersson. The music that I made are occasionally created out of experimentation and d.i.y-solutions where modular systems like eurorack comes in mind. 
My first attempt was experiments in the mid-80’s where made with a Korg MS-20, SH-202 , Drummatix/TR-606 thru a boss delay and a DIY spring reverb and onto a tape deck (later porta studio). 

The music making took off from listening lot to bands in the post-punk and the so called krautrock era. That was inspiration mainly from British synth oriented bands like Cabaret Voltaire, (early) Human League and the German Kraftwerk of course. 

Later on I met Peter Fransson aka Retep Folo in the early 90’s and we started experimenting cassette tape looping and recorded under the name INTONARUMORI. Later on we started Hadley with Svante Sjöstedt on guitar. We made a CDr that got some attention. An journalist at Göteborgs Posten compared us to Roxy Music and Gary Numan. Me and Peter did some gigs as duo Further on It developed to Exhadley with Peter Fransson on bass and Rickard Olsson on Drums. We were starting to play live

There is some later collaborations like:
tNt - Estrella: flute, spoken word, performance art.
Other colaborations: Jonas Olsen (Bohemian Groove), Pontus Torstensson (Tentakel...) Mag Ågren (Sork., Trapped in a loop), Rickard Widerberg (Trapped in a loop).
