My name is Ulf Dernevik. I am a Swedish musician, composer, arranger and writer living in the city of Gothenburg. I make music characterized by the pure sound of shoegazing indie together with a great amount of improvisation. Starting out as a jazz musician, these days I move towards a vision containing musical elements of any kind. Minimalism, bebop, Brittish indie, American avant-garde and Swedish contemporary pop music all have its place in my music. And the music concerns every aspect of life. Stories of intellectual life and troublesome relationships are being told as well as stories of more down-to-earth matters like politics, economics and copywright issues. These thoughts are well documented in the interesting and experimental acts Kung Fu and Alliansen. Besides that I do a lot of work together with some of my very talented friends. Joel Eriksson from the huge success of The Similou and Anders Boson from the Swedish pop sensation Fibes, Oh Fibes! belong to my constantly recurring collaborators, as well as the Swedish singer/songwriter Loke. On the agenda is also the extremely charismatic Daniel J and brilliant Norwegian singer Gine Gaustad Andersen. Finally I would like to quote the great Morrissey, although translated into Swedish circumstances: As far as I can see, there is only three things wrong with modern Sweden. 1. Jimmie Ã…kesson, 2. Jimmie Ã…kesson, 3 Jimmie Ã…kesson.
