Tom Adam Antonsen - Cool
Playing cool, Pinoy style in 2011.
Uploaded 5 years ago
How long have you been playing?
I started out playing different brass instruments in the local brass band at the age of 6. Then I started playing Bass in bands at the age of 13, and turned more and more into guitar from the age of 16. I started playing gigs at the age of 15, and for the next 15 years I switched between bass and guitar. so that means I have been on the road semiprofessionally for almost 40 years now. I started to sing and turned fully into a guitarist in 1989, and has since then played in different bands as a Vocalist/Guitarist.

What was the first concert you ever went to?
I guess my first real memorable concert was being "floored" by Andrew Latimer from Camel in 1981. I watched their show at the Gothenburg Concert House, and it was an almost "out of this world" experience. Maybe I could sue Andrew for turning me into such an emotional "sentimentalist"? Since then I really started to dig people who could play the guitar emotionally and expressive in different modalities and take us on the famous emotional roller coaster. I love the variety in progressive rock.
What gear do you use?
I use anything I can get my hands on, and have probably played most of what`s out there. Because I build guitars, and have owned more than 150 guitars I tend to be very picky or selective in the way I equip my guitars. It seems I have a rather clear philosophy about the search for the holy grail of sound. After having gone "full circle" a few times, I realize it is more about choosing the right weapon for the right occation. Even the shittiest gear can be the perfect choice for a particular sound or style. Likewise, the most expensive equipment in the world is also designed to do spesific things. I`d love to tell you more spesifically about my philosophy of sound, but as a guitarist you have your own path to find, and it seems a lot of you do that very well. Always keep an open mind, and decide for yourself what "truths" you believe in.
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
I`d like to hook up with people that might become future Bandmates.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
I started to get into Jazzrock in 1978, went on through fusion, westcoast, progressive rock, but I always found the modern or contemporary "rock" guitar sound the most interesting. Today I like a wide variety of music, but find myself enjoying Progressive rock more than anything.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
I have been playing in numerous bands since the age of 13, and I have played semiprofessionally since the age of 15. Most of my life I have played in weddings, dance halls, small local venues with and audience from 100-500, pubs and occationally a larger indoor or outdoor stage.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Most of us really dig or idolize someone, but I would for instance never even think about entering a stage with Charlie Parker, Chick Corea, Yngwie Malmsteen, Shawn Lane, or anyone on such a musical and technical level simply beacuse it would be ridiculous. I think we all dream of being surrounded by people we just "click" in on, and feel connected to. Once in a while we meet people we just intuitively connect to on an almost "out of this world" level, and then magic happens. Most of us never experience that, but I still dream of that. The day I meet those people, only the sky is the limit.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
I`ve played hundreds of small gigs with audiences of 100-500 people. A few times I have been on stages with audiences up to 2000 people.
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
The Flower Kings - Paradox Hotel. I simply love that band, with eminent musicians, and with true worldclass compositional skills. They really bring you on a modality journey.

Afton pƄ Solvik - Performed by Tom Adam Antonsen - 2018.
"Afton pƄ Solvik" is composed by Andrew Walter.
Andrew Walter, artist name for Anders Valter Persson, later Kejving, born September 25, 1914 in GƤddede, northern JƤmtland, died January 2, 1978 in Johanneshov, was a Swedish composer and accordion player married to the singer Birgit Moberg-Kejving.
Andrew Walter started playing when he was five years old, playing as a young old dance of many logs in the homeland of Frostviken. He debuted in 1934 and won SM in accordion in 1937, which led to many gigs even abroad, including a seven-month orchestral tour of the Soviet Union. When the Latin American music became popular in the 1940s, including Samba and Rumba, he had moved to Stockholm, becoming one of the pioneers in Sweden for the music genre of the Cuban orchestra together with Hasse Tellemar.
He was the chapel master of the popular radio program Frukostklubben in the years 1946-1967, and accompanied there many famous artists. He had his own music publishing house, Kejving publisher, and was editor of the journal Accordion Journal 1949-1959. He also released Andrew Walter accordion school, mainly via mail order sales, probably teaching tens of thousands of people around Sweden playing accordion games and reading notes. As a member of Grimsland's Vienna Quartet of 1943-1958, he drew an accordion.
Andrew Walter was a very talented composer, and made hundreds of recordings under his own name or as accompanist to other Swedish artists. His perhaps most famous melody is the wicked Afton at Solvik from 1943, becoming a Swedish accordion classic.
Walter is mentioned in Povel Ramel's Birth of the Old Testament from Revyn PĆ„ Avigan (1966).
Instrument company Hagstrƶm named one of his accordion models, Walter Special 40, after him.
After his death, a memorial fund was established which annually allocates scholarships to young music students.
