Swedish with Birgitta Flick
Birgitta Flick is a german saxophonist and composer living in Berlin. Much of her music is a blend between composed music and improvisation. I had the pleasure of jamming with Birgitta when I visited Berlin in January. We met for a couple of hours in a cold practice room with a piano past its prime.…

Digitakt Avant Garde
I’ve been away too long. I’ve got so much to show you. This piece is maybe not finished. But maybe it is. It is a Collection of clips from the Nude Cloak concert in (checks notes) September?! Time warps. Time flies! Lovingly resampled and reshaped on my trusty Digitakt sampler. You can hear Andreas’ Nyckelharpa…

Video Editing Skills

Pulling all the stops
This is what I call a “Blind Improvisation.” That means it was not planned in any way until a few seconds before it was played. Some people will frown at this method, but it is how I usually work. It turned out quite all right, I think. The church was full of festive people in…

Djebra – Modular Music
I was inspired to make some rhythmic music, and to try out my modular stuff. The result is Djebra. It is probably not the actual word sung. I use a way of randomising a collection of old radio recordings. If anyone knows what this sampled song is, what language it is in and what the…
