About Me

I am an artist and designer, in this particular context working with electroacoustic soundscapes. The pieces you can find here, are experiments with the human voice - mostly my own voice, sometimes others, processed in different manners. Over time, this has raised some curiosity and interest, and I am very pleased - although slightly surprised - to see that people appreciate my work, and want to play it, or use it, in different contexts, in different venues.

This is the video for Polly Scattergood's Please Don't Touch, her new single due for release on the 4th of May. A great video for a summery song! If you haven't heard her, I warmly recommend clicking on her banner above. Amazing artist!
Below is one of my Master projects from my art education: I filmed myself in stop motion during a whole day, struggling to fit into Da Vincis "Vitruvian Man" image, the "ideal" mold for a human being.
The documentation below is from an exhibition that was displayed at Länsmuseet, Gävle, Sweden between 18th of May until 7th of September 2008. Me and a friend/colleague of mine, Jakob Danhard, were the exhibitors. We are currently working on getting this exhibition displayed elsewhere as well.
