Born in Stockholm, Sweden 1964. In the late eighties, after graduation from Royal Academy of Music, I had some years playing electric bass in several bands, all into rather straight jazz/rock. My first encounter with free improvised music, the Swedish trio GUSH, made a huge impact on me, I was stunned! After experimenting a lot on my bass with different kinds of preparation, I soon felt a need for a new instrument that allowed me to produce the kind of sounds that I was looking for. That made me create the flexichord; a 12-stringed electric guitarlike instrument.
