About Me

My first recordings where made with a friend on a taperecorder in the late 80s with our cheap keyboards with built in rythms and music. I was usually in charge of the rythm and music and my friend of the solo melody. I guess he got more music in him than me, but not as much spare time.
After 10 years of silence i decided to make a midi version ov one of our songs we made, and it turned out very good, so i started with my AWE 64 soundcard and 2 mb samplememory. In 2001 i bought my first real syntheziser a Roland RS-5, thats the start of my so far short music career. :-)
Since then i have been creating music with mixed results, alot of songs have been discarded since then, some of them pretty good i think. I wished i had a little less self-critisism in that case. Most songs are about love in one way or another, good love, bad love, sad love, u name it.
I really hate lyrics.......to write it, its the hardest part, it would be alot easier to do music if i didnt spent hour after hour and nothing is put down on the paper.
But more is on the way and it feels better than ever....at least about the music.
