First sound work: "Who stole my Zingo"1989. (For a street-theatre tour to Rovaniemi/Finland)

In 1992 I discovered the great fun of working with sound through an Atari and a sampler.

I´ve made music for exhibitions, perfomances, installations and film.

some of the loved ones are:

"I-information" cello + delaypedal, rytmical instruments and choir, perfomed as part of an installation in the old traintunnel beneath Slussen1991

"Keikyä" cello, samples to a choreography by Ossi Niskala at "Moderna Dansteatern" 1993

"U-det ljuva livet" piece for sampler and compressed air organ with electrical switches. Perfomed to an exhibition in a tunnel beneath Slussen1992

"Yet flavours among them" sampled piece to exhibtion of industrial design, Konstfack 1994

cellist to a laser-cello, constructed by Jonas Ericsson/No Picnic. Perfomed a.o. at "Doktor Glas" 1993

"A good meal" piece for sampled sound, to exhibition made by Zirkus-Lokomotiv at Linienstrasse, Berlin 1996

"Skylla song" (musicvideo) puppets perfoming improvised song and piano, 1998

"Fortuna" piece for cello, production at the videodepartment 1999

As the computers became better I started to work more with film. (animation, installation, musicvideos, VJ-ing)

which for the moment together with performing arts is my main occupation.
