Acidic DJ-mix in Cosmos

Oct 12, 2015 |

Joakim Cosmo, veteran DJ and PETSCII-guru, delivers yet another slow acid DJ-mix, this time featuring two of my songs. Early in the mix is Conny’s Boots mixed together with some nice C64-acid by Raveguru, and some other things. And at the end is an unreleased song of mine, an acid version of the Swedish classic “Sommaren är kort”.

All the songs in the mix was made in Sweden. “I want to show that despite of the hard globalization of electronic dance music, the local styles have survived, because they are affected by, and linked to the environments in which they are produced.”

And btw, in a few days I’m visiting mr. Cosmo to jam with our new project.

Europe in 8 Bits on Swedish TV

Jul 28, 2015 |

The chipmusic documentary Europe in 8 Bits was aired on Swedish public service TV (SVT) and is available to stream for a few weeks. I’ve written more extensively here, but in short: check it out! (I think it costs like $2.95 to download)

FYI the documentary was renamed to “Chip Music – plipp och plopp får nytt liv” which roughly translates to “Chip Music – bleep and bloop gets new life”. The description of the documentary reads something like: Now, 20 years after Super Mario, enthusiasts are ripping the chips out of the Gameboys to create a new kind of electronica. It’s not just about nostalgia but also a protest against the opinion that new computer technology is better than previous ones.

Myeah, well.. hmm..

Blood & ASCII Graffiti

Jul 24, 2015 | ,

I made a new ASCII graffiti piece, this time in colour. I made stencils for characters like / and _ and sprayed them one by one. This was a practice round for what I will do at the PLATINE festival in Cologne soon.

I started the day by catching a shaver falling from the skies with my hand and then cutting myself with a knife, which made this a very non-digital experience. Set in mO’sOul’s Amiga font!










Italian Prog Bit

Jun 8, 2015 |

The sort of old Italian prog band Armonite asked me to add some sounds to their song Insert Coin for the album The Sun is New Each Day. A nice album somewhere inbetween progressive rock and classical music (??), mastered at le Abbey Road Studios.

I like how my saw waves mix with the violin, and in this setting the triangle waves get a more flutey character than usually. Sometimes it’s even tricky to say what’s what. Man machine prog! Prog.prg.

Btw, you might also want to check out The Ferret Show, where I performed my songs together with a jazz band and with PETSCII visuals by Raquel Meyers.

Klubb Tu666ummi

Jun 6, 2015 |

This excellent video flyer for Klubb Tu666ummi with claymation has music by me. Actually, it’s from a song that was made as a Custom8-order. You’re not really supposed to order songs from Custom8 – more like genres/styles and then I compile already made songs – but some people succeed to get custom songs, apparently. 8=)
