lived in Amsterdam he was closely associated with STEIM (Studio

as well written music for film, video, theatre and dance. His scores are
published and distributet by STIM in Sweden and until today he has
released more then 100 cds by labels all over the World. He is conviced
that it is a responsibility of an artist in in the present day to travel
and work around the World in order to learn and understand different
cultures and traditions and discover truth about ourselves and our planet.
He also strongly believes that geographical, political and social exile is
a necessary condition for true and honest creation. He is not interested
in the traditional definition of music, in his opinion, all musical theory
and systems as cultural concepts must be destroyed. In his latest work,
his main concern is to realize drama with sound - electronic and acoustic
walls with the architectures of ruins transcribed in the scores.
