| 2000-01-15 This is almost a new page; here I have begun to document what music have given me the greatest pleasure ? Mabe you can pick up some influences from here, or tell me whatīs really hot. This project is totally, smoking new. It will take some time to turn it out the way I really want it to. A start is better than nothing, of course. Enjoy yourself : |

Once upon a time I was really amazed about the fact that Mike Oldfield had done all the work only himself on the "Tubular bells" album. Since then, the world have seen a lot of multi musicians in pop/rock music. I almost forgot that Stevie Wonder was very early with that stuff too. Now,this is exactly the work I do myself. And countless other home studio owners around the world.The quality of what we produce really span over everything from producing their kids first singing up to todays megaselling techno/dance music acts, which to a great deal are produced in the musicians own home. For myself, I really don t have time for the later kind of serious work. I do it just for fun. Progress is evident anyway. I might have a bestselling album on at around my 90:th birthday. As to why I started making music; it s mostly because I ve listened to a lot of music in my days. And itīs given me a lot of pleasure, through both bad and good times. Certainly, Iīve had a few bands, but it s mostly from my listening the inspiration to do something myself have rosen. Apart from the music itself, I have childish fun over all the machinery available today for music production and listening. No small contribution to that is the fact that I have worked with retail of really high end HiFi audio equipment for seven years.Its not just the music, but also how it is displayed... |
Fall 1999 As Iīve written before, at the beginning: my orphan ears started to catch on to the tunes of Lennon/Mc Cartneys The Beatles. Nothing more needed to be said, they have their place in music history. The Rolling Stones was also a great act in my childhood. As were numerous other artists behind the tunes of the late 60:s and the early 70:s. I used to listen a lot on radio, and all of the list programs. But what was it I used to buy when I started to buy records ? And what have I bought later on ? In no way whatsoever can I present anything near a complete coverage, as I have over a 1000 vinyl records and about 500 CD:s. In any way, I can tell the world something about what the highlights have been like. Starting at this very page; I will begin to cover up what has, in my very subjective opinion, been the greatest contributions to rock/pop music the three last decades ( I started to listen to Frank Sinatra just a few years ago, I m a little to young for the earlier masterpieces ). This is only the beginning...but a very personal one. One extremely sad thing nowadays, is that I have very little time to actually listen to music. Mostly, itīs the radio going on in the background. Additionally I have to make some music myself, when I have time. Thus; this page will mostly be shaped out of my memories of great music. I donīt have time to re-listen through even a fraction of it. When I was younger I listened through a whole lot, I was a very regular visitor at the record stands. To get my attention today, you need to release another "Dream Theater" album or something. I would really love something new from David Gilmour, when I think about it. Of course, I would be real thrilled to visit a concert. It was a while since. I actually donīt have much time for such good things in life. Just read that Gary Moore will be playing at "Circus" here in Stockholm this week. Hmmmm... Oh, "Dream Theater" is coming to Stockholm in March 2000. That one is a must. See Ya//Per |
