Imagery and Sounds

About Me

Imagery and Sounds, that's what it's all about. I'm always looking for new and refreshing views, both visual and audio. I find it in music, movies, paintings, drawings, and any form of art. You can find my own contribution to this beautiful play between the human mind and hands on this site.
with Music, you need more than just 2 eyes, therefore I find it the most mysterious form of art. I've grown up with classical music being played on the radio at home, and before I discoverded the Guitar, I was examening my brother's drumset every once in a while. I've been playing guitar for almost 15 years now, and now I skip nights with playing and experimenting with rhythms using guitars and drums, but also electronics, percussion, acoustic guitars and other string instruments. I've explored and crossed musical boundaries in the past with bands as Brutus and Lost Sacrament, and still going at fullspeed right now together with Textures ( myspace.com/textures )I've alwalys been fascinated by Art, especially drawings (paintings/pencil/airbrush) and photography, and more recent, to digital art and it's endless groundbreaking possibilities. I've been designing for different bands and companies for 10 years, still gaining knowledge with a design course every now and then, utilising the info to create my own Imagery: VisualMind.tk
