How long have you been playing?
I was born in 1963 and started out playing different brass instruments in the local brass band at the age of 6. Then I started playing Bass guitar 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 over 40 years now. I started to sing, and also 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 are you looking for from Fandalism?
I`d like to hook up with people that might become future Bandmates, but also, and much more likely; people I can co-operate with. I see a lot of people here on fandalism that co-operates on projects or individual songs all the time. If some of you like what I`m doing, please feel free to contact me if you think I can contribute. My platform of choice is Cakewalk`s Sonar, but if you work on other platforms we can just swap individual mono or stereo audio files in real time. No problem.
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.
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 and more, and also 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. I got tired of it 14 years ago, and try to dedicate my time primarily to family, but secondarily to my studio which I finally got together 5 years ago.
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 people like that, only the sky will be the limit. I think the paradox is that what matters the most aren`t necessarily the musical or technical abilities, but rather how we communicate and simply thrive together as social beings. Think of musical relationships as multiple marriages. That`s my idea of what it takes to get a sustainable and successful musical relationship. Could you ever keep on playing with someone you don`t even like?
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.
Working on "Black Diamond". 35 Tracks of individual Instruments & 15 Buses with effects makes even the "smallest" songs a big project.
