"Good old days?"



In the very very beguinning....
There I was trying to run a small Music-Cafe in Malmoe/Sweden. "Cafe Dare" was a meetingplace for people of all ages. Here You could order a cup of coffey or just sit down and relax among likeminded people.

As such the cafe also was the main rehersal premesis and studio for My partly mad band. Lots of different musicians passed thrue the door. Some of them with more then music in mind.

Suddenly one day the sound of a crash was heard like an echo in the cafe. Outside a young woman had thrown her bike towards the big window. The door opened and there she was.
-At last Ive found this place that Ive heard of, she said and was now to be a regular freind and customer in the cafe.


By the time she was studying music at the Concervatory in town, a talented violinist. During a couple of years she and her boyfreind was among my freinds. Natuarly I hoped that she could join my band but that never happened. Later She and Her boyfreind moved to Amsterdam where I wisited them one time.

The internet made it possible for me to at least partly follow her music life. Both as a violinplayer in Holiday on Ice and in other constellations. Later on I heard her perform different tunes on YouTube. A great artist and violinplayer for sure.

Heres links to two of Mirella Pirskanen´s YouTube tunes.

magic of computers

1/ Im not a computer freak
2/ I like em and use mine everyday.
3/ I know a lot in regards of computers,
4/ I no noting!!

Therefor my great KRISTAL musicstudio(computer) is at rest and I keep on using me old Fostex 4-track kasettrecorder. So far it works quite nicely. To add an extra channel I also use FreeSound. It seams to work really good, making mp3s out of me taped music.

Somehow Im trying to figure out how to link a video directly to this site. Maybe its impossible, maybe not. During the last days Id made a couple of recordings that I do hope You like. Youll find them below.
