I skogen vid havet med Strömkarlen och Huldran /
In the forest by the sea with Strömkarlen and Huldran

I stand in the forest playing the flute in the middle of the night, it is pitch dark, it is cold. I shiver, Huldran can take me without warning. The forest’s mythical creatures suddenly feels alive.

I used only acoustic or analogue sound sources to get closer to both the materiality of and the esoteric aspects of nature.

Better Half and Me

This recording was done in the studio of Johan Emmoth. Johan, had this home HiFi-microphone from the 70s that we used to process the BnB-drums. The result is virtually without any bass in the beat.

Anna’s lyrics is very personal. The division between what we do and ought to do is also mirrored in the second half-tempo beat with (a lot of) bass. There is actually two songs in one song in this production.

and then they left

This track is based around a locrian scale arpeggio.

This was the result after my second studio session with the Buchla system at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. It felt nice to make a piece of sub-culture in the corridors of high culture.

Test1

This track is me practicing eurorack performance using the Beatstep Pro as the major sequencer and keyboard. Étude Béat, meaning a blissful study. The Beatstep Pro design promotes dance oriented music and its built in probability appears to use heuristics typical for the genre. In a way, the sequencer has its inherent cantus firmus.

The track is mastered by Fredrik Uppsäll.

A video of the performance is available here:
