Hello! I do music, text, art and research, often about low-tech and handmade “digital” aesthetics. This is something I learned to appreciate as a kid in the demoscene subculture, where I’m still active. I started making chipmusic in the 1990s and I’ve since released records and performed live across 5 continents.
I’m quite obsessed with text graphics (ASCII etc). I make my own and collaborate with others to make videos, demos and performances.
My art has been shown at events such as Transmediale and Ars Electronica. Robot music is a recent project that I do together with Jacob Remin. Finally, I’m an independent researcher and I’ve been published in academic contexts like New Media & Society. I run text-mode.org and Chipflip.
Compoid – my new album
Finally, some good ol’ chiptunes and chipbreak on compact disc! Yes, Compoid is in many ways the Goto80 you knew 20 years ago. Short, catchy, beepy and dense. Only better, of course!
You should call +46 60 60 70 593 to connect with Telephone Radio Hotline. Listen to the songs from the album, talk to others calling in, or listen to live shows (every now and then). If you lead a busy business life, there is an option to listen to all the songs at the same time, for maximum efficiency. More info and schedule available here.
Yeah, so Compoid consists of 12 tracks that have previously appeared on compilations and in competitions, and in other scene productions. Mostly in 2025/2026. The packaging is DIY, made with used CD cases (so yes, imperfections are a feature, not a bug).
Huge thanks to Raccoon & Tele-Noor for helping out with the Telephone Radio Hotline. Thanks to Breakin for vocals on Bombero, to Tempest for the E8x simulation on Yest-26, and to LA Holm Finest for the gourmet samples on Geigeroid and Jävla Vildäng Bussbuss. Cheers to the people who’ve released these songs before: Suck Puck in Ukraine (slava!), the new international Amiga power group Mania, the legendary demogroup TEK, the even more legendary Razor 1911, and SYDNEY CITY CHIPTUNE MINISTRIES. And of course, thanks to Data Airlines for releasing this album!
Also shout-outs to the software heroes that make free cool stuff that I use, like the Protracker clone and Zoopertracker for music, LVLLVL and Moebius for graphics, and Pikimov for video.

Telephone Radio Hotline
Telephone Radio Hotline is an amazing telephone service for you and your friends! Call +46 60 60 70 593 and follow the instructions to listen to Compoid, talk to other callers, and listen to livestreams.
The phone number is a standard Swedish landline, and you will be billed accordingly. It’s not some premium rate number, so not so expensive! Worth it!
If you are stuck waiting to get in, that means that the maximum amount of callers have been reached. Have faith, their time will pass.
This service was made by Raccoon & Tele-Noor who made all the difficult parts, while I made the sounds.
Telephone Radio Hotline will not be available forever.
Upcoming live shows
13 June. 21:00 (UTC+2) and onwards.
Up Rough – Hypocrisy
Up Rough’s Hyprocisy demo has finally graced the internet with its presence, after being released at Compusphere last year!
So this is essentially a video played by an Amiga 500. BLDZR made the 3D animation for my song (that ZNDIE sings on, and The Toilet as well). Then Flubba magically made that video play on an Amiga 500 with a hard drive. And Spot & Mortimer Twang did the Up Rough logo animation.
You can read more details here.
