This song is very different compared to what I have done earlier, and I bet this will surpise you in more than one way;
One thing is that I “sing” solo on an recording for the first time, also that I’m a into the land of EBM/industrial with some guitar combo. Inspired also by Ultravox, themselves inspired by the german krautrock scene.
Following my date tradition, I follow up the singles “101010” and “111111” today with “121212”
The track “121212” (Click the triangle to listen) is a upbeat, funky song with horns, hammond and swingy percussion on a solid bass drum bed.
Actually the beginning of the song saw the daylight a couple of years ago, and enhanched with some rearanging tips from my extremely multitalended brother in law Carl Arsenic
Nobody said its gonna be easy (Click the triangle to listen) is a path I will discover more, somewhere in the borderlands between cinematic music and experimental.
The title refers to the listening experience of the song…. 🙂

New song out!
I made a song for the Ultravox competition, made out of loops, samples and snippets from Ultravox songs, no own parts added.

“How about our dinner invitation” i a moody, chillout ambient song with some lightharted quirky sounds to complement it.
It was originally published in 2009 on the now closed Tunited site, Midge Ure’s project of nurturing bands into the business, and the title was a humourus way of reminding him that he hadn’t answer our dinner invitation when he and the rest of Ultravox was coming to play in Stockholm…:-)
Consider it a single; haven’t had time to make a cover, but I’ll keep the time limit, todays date is 101010….:-)
Techno for grownups is a “tounge in cheek” take on modern dance music, arranged in a more “traditional” pop way.
It has been described/compared toYello, Orbital amongst others.
Other peoples responses to your own music is sometimes quite surprising! 🙂
101010 is a slow, moody, ambient electronic track, suitable for a dark evening in a sentimental mood, perhaps.
It has been described as early John Foxx, urban futuristic, the Orb amongst other.
One of them is a friend since many years, and we´ve done some collaboration experiments. Recently we published some remixes I made for them:
Out of focus
It doesn't matter wich style Carl Arsenic plays, he's a born talent for music, and rightfully has record deals from Japan to Sweden.
Punk music, techno, blue grass - there's no limit to my Canada based brother in law.
