About Me

After beeing born on august 30th 1979, I can´t remeber a thing until we, when I was five, got a new neighbour. One year after getting a new neighbour my dear parents gave me a drumkit. I been playin´drums for almost 22 years but they still surprise me everytime! I like the small sounds, I like making small sounds big. I do this with the help of some electronic divices...Check out my band "t h e m o t h" (myspace.com/themothsweden) for these kind of things. Also check out Johan Melander & Nya Stan for some nice swedish popmusic! Although improvisation is close to my heart I enjoy composing music. I write music for films and for various people and constellations, feel free to contact me if you need some music. Im interested in politics and spend a lot of my time figuring out how we can change this upside down world of ours... Right now I´m somewhat obsessed with David Lynch´s movies and series, check em out! Peace! I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

The election has ended. I was so fed up with it, and I live in Sweden... Sure Obama is a good choice, eventhough I must say John McCain seems to be a million times better then Bush. I listened to Obam...
