About me
REVIEWS ARE MUCH APRECIATED.

Im a DJ, live-performer, illustrator and videogame composer*.
A proud member of the staff of Kolla - "the paper for the permanent adventure"** and one of the elected agitators of my union.
The power behind the throne in the Vänliga jättar collective(Sealion, Tomboy, Subcomandante, Vänliga jättar) pulling the strings, making the puppets dance.
As well as a member of the Kabukicollective and somehow involved in Collagepop.
A dedicated anarchist, hearthbreaker(my own that is) and small-time crook.

*= http://www.dhggames.com/ is the latest game that i had the honor to make the music to. Im willing to work with any team that has a serious goal to finish what they started, no matter if its a homebrew shareware game or a comercial release. I have worked on way to many projects that have died in the midle without the programers not even having the decency to answer my mails when i wonder whats up, thats realy low and i dont want to waste time on people acting like that again).

Advice to other musicians
Use technology for its purpose. That is to push the borders of human capacity. Dont use it for conformity, to make something easier or even worse, to get around doing something that you would be perfectly capable of learning to do yourself. It makes you as dependent and limited by your technology as a person in a wheelchair is of her wheels. If you know that you REALY need it, then tough luck. But you cant realy know if you are capable of walking until you have tried a few times, right? Make music that you love or want to hear/do. Dont make music purely out of a need to be loved or a dream of becoming rich. It will only lead to shite music and constant disapointments. Get a puppy and a bunch of credit cards instead. Fake it until you make it. : )

Notes about my music
Collages and rhytmical experiments usualy aimed towards the dancefloor. There is usualy a lot of things going on in my tunes, some to the degree of being linear music. Im always looking for new forms for music for the dancefloor as well as experimenting with some of what i find to be the most original elements of several diferent genres of clubmusic(the wild rhythms and fusions of ragga-jungle, the linear model of early uk hardcore, the insane subs of Dubstep, the wierd collages of bastard pop etcetera). I dont try to be different or alterantive, i simply try to be not bored... or boring as well as experimenting with a constant goal of functionality. Oh yeah im not only doing clubmusic(i grew up on ambient, electronica, dub and most stuff from ninjatune for example).
