About Me

The one thing one has to understand about music is that there is nothing there for us to understand. Music is devoid of meaning. It has no purpose. No goal. It is precisely that which makes it great. The idea that an arbitrary series of changes in the air pressure can touch our very souls, is for some too much to bear. So they take to context. History. Mathematics. Religion. All in a futile attempt to explain that which, ultimately, does not lend itself to explanation.
I studied electroacoustic music for Rolf Enström, Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Pär Johansson, Jens Hedman, Mattias Sköld and Sten-Olof Hellström at EMS (Institute for Electroacoustic Music in Sweden) 2004-2007.
'Norberg Module Live' is an improvised piece, recorded live at Fylkingen, Stockholm in April -08. Unfortunately only the right channel was captured, and seeing as some of the parts were panned hard left, the recording doesn't really do the music justice. Still, I think it is good enough for MySpace.
'Those Who Use Art for Petty Propaganda – A Non-Figurative Reflection on Music and Political Activism' was my modest protest against a protest against the high levels of toxic particles on a particularly busy street in Stockholm. I decided to take part in the concert because I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could hear the difference between instrumental music that is played as a protest against pollution of the air, and instrumental music that objects to the idea of using abstract art to convey a political message. As far as I could tell nobody in the audience (or among the other performers for that matter) could distinguish between anti-pollution noise and anti-anti-pollution noise.
'Something, Beyond Everything, That Words Cannot Describe' is my graduation piece from EMS, finished in May -07.
'Live at Norberg' was recorded at the Norberg Festival 2007. I had to split it in three parts due to the file size limit.
I am always open for collaborations with film makers, choreographers, performance artists etc, so if you feel that my music would suit your project, do not hesitate to contact me.

I decided to post my live set here after all. I mixed the recording from the portable device with the dry master output. I think that made for a fair compromise between the live sound and the studio r...
